Try proxiesA paid HTTP proxy service on every plan — export HTTP proxy IP addresses as ip:port or in any field order and delimiter your software expects.
An HTTP proxy sits at the application layer: it understands HTTP itself, reads your request, and forwards it to the target site from the proxy IP. That makes it the oldest and most widely supported format — every stack from modern scrapers to twenty-year-old utilities that never got SOCKS support can point at an HTTP proxy server.
It fits two roles. First, plain http targets and internal services where encryption is not part of the design. Second, the default mode for software that asks for an “HTTP proxy” in its settings — for https sites the same address opens a CONNECT tunnel (how that works is on the HTTPS proxies page). Typical ports are 8080 and 8085; the exact port for your list is in the Dashboard.
Choosing between HTTP and SOCKS5 is mostly about what your tool expects, not what the site runs on. HTTP proxies operate one layer higher — they parse requests and can add headers — while SOCKS tunnels bytes blindly. For browser-only workloads configured for HTTP, you will not notice a difference; automation, non-web protocols, and stacks sensitive to header changes belong on SOCKS. Nothing to pick at checkout: every IP supports both, and you select the mode in your software. Product specs are in the adjacent panel; datacenter packages start at $19/mo.
Four proxy protocols — how they differ and when to use each one.

# HTTP or HTTPS proxy curl -x http://login:password@IP:port https://example.com # SOCKS5 curl --socks5-hostname IP:port \ --proxy-user login:password \ https://example.com
import requests proxy = "http://login:password@IP:port" # your proxy from the Dashboard r = requests.get( "https://example.com", proxies={"http": proxy, "https": proxy}, ) print(r.status_code)
import { ProxyAgent } from "undici"; const dispatcher = new ProxyAgent("http://login:password@IP:port"); const res = await fetch("https://example.com", { dispatcher }); console.log(res.status);
$ch = curl_init("https://example.com"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, "IP:port"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, "login:password"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); $response = curl_exec($ch);
Choose a standard format or create a custom one with any field order and delimiter your software requires.

A few service metrics—and feedback from our customers.
Proxy does not glitch, everything works quickly and without any problems. Thank you tech support for the immediate response to treatment. I will be using this service with great pleasure.
I have bought a 500 proxy package for myself. The only problem I have encountered so far is that some of the proxies do not want to work on google. For me it is not critical, I am satisfied with everything. My recommendation.
KeyCollector started to ban free proxies. So I started looking for paid proxies. I compared prices and chose this service. I was looking for IPv4 proxies, they are a bit cheaper than the competitors. In general, I like everything, if there are any questions, the support immediately solves them. Very convenient!
I have been using proxies not so long but I can already say they do their job. If there have been any problems, the technical service has been quick to fix them. Be careful with google.

Yes, because “HTTP proxy” describes how your software connects, not which sites you can reach. A tool configured for an HTTP proxy still reaches https targets through a CONNECT tunnel. HTTP also remains the native mode for internal services, legacy APIs, traffic debugging, and software without SOCKS support. The format did not die — it became the compatibility layer most people never think about.
It depends on the target, not the proxy type. A request to an https site stays encrypted end-to-end with TLS — the proxy sees the domain from CONNECT, not the page body. A request to an http target travels as plain text across the path: the proxy and any intermediate node can read it. Rule of thumb: passwords, tokens, and cookies belong on https targets only. Access to the proxy itself is locked down with mandatory IP whitelisting, so a stranger cannot use your address even if they find it.
Normal for public lists, not for a paid service. Working HTTP proxy servers differ in operations, not luck: addresses sit under automated monitoring, uptime is measured and published, and dead entries get replaced instead of shrugged off. We target 99.9% uptime on the network side — if an address in your package fails, request a list refresh or open a ticket rather than accepting a partial list.
For most workloads, yes — best HTTP proxies for scale come as packages. Per-IP cost drops sharply above a few dozen addresses, and you get a ready file in ip:port or any custom format. Dedicated proxies make sense when you need IP exclusivity for a single account’s reputation; for web scraping and high-volume automation, assembling a list one IP at a time is slower and more expensive with no upside.
Built in: System Settings → Network → your connection → Details → Proxies → Web Proxy (HTTP) — enter the IP and port from your Dashboard. PapaProxy.net uses IP whitelisting, not username/password auth, so leave the username and password fields empty once your Mac’s public IP is on the whitelist. The setting applies system-wide; individual apps can override it in their own network preferences. If the connection drops after you change networks, update the whitelisted IP in the Dashboard — it takes about a minute.
