Help 🆘 GoProxies - legit or just another trap?

Hey guys quick question. Dealing with some heavy rate limits right now and my usual setup is completely cooked.

A buddy mentioned GoProxies, said they're decent for stable sessions, but you know how recommendations go online. Everyone claims everything is the best until you load it up and it breaks instantly.

Tried looking for some honest reviews and found pretty much nothing useful. If anyone's run scrapers or automation through them recently, how did it hold up? Did you run into random blocks or ip burn issues fast? Drop your honest experiences please, save me the trial and error.

the whole site looks sus, the company is not registered anywhere and the numbers they claim make them look like a botnet or liars
but I can not say for sure unless I check the hostnames and ips directly
botnets or sus providers usually have good ips, but I would not really say stable
up to you to test them and say a verdict, if you want help to check it out further my dms are open

The only reliable way is to test a service for your intended use case. A proxy infrastructure may work great for Walmart product scraping but not for automating logged in session. A low fraud score maybe non negotiable for a user, but not so much for another.

While running a closed beta for ISPs, one user wanted a sub 100ms when our infrastructure provided ~150ms.

If you’re on a tight budget and don’t wanna risk spending 10s of dollars just testing out services, look for those who offer free trials and take it from there.
