Media & Entertainment Proxies

Start from the workload, not the platform name. Data collection — view counts, charts, stream analytics, market prices — wants packages: many datacenter IPs to spread the request rate, a country mix to see each region's numbers, and unlimited bandwidth because the payload is often video. Game accounts want the opposite: one dedicated IP per account, unchanging, so a flag on one alt never spreads through a shared address. Consoles are a hardware case — they take a plain HTTP proxy with IP whitelisting, since there's no field for a password.

Every row in the registry above shows the plan the platform's own page recommends, so if your platform is listed, that pill is the short answer.

No — data usage on our plans is unlimited, and that's the deciding spec for media work. Providers that bill by the gigabyte make video analytics expensive by design: a pipeline that watches streams or pulls thumbnails moves terabytes a month, and metered pricing turns every experiment into a budget question. Here the number of concurrent connections is determined by your plan, but the gigabytes through them aren't counted.

Speed holds up under that load: up to 500 Mbps per proxy on infrastructure with an 80 Gbps uplink per server. Fair usage applies as a guideline against abuse, not a hidden cap — the details are in our Terms of Use.

Because their traffic literally isn't TCP. Real-time game protocols — Growtopia is the textbook case — send UDP datagrams, and a standard HTTP or SOCKS proxy that only relays TCP will simply never see that traffic. The game connects, then nothing works. The fix is the SOCKS5 UDP option: it costs 50% of the base plan price, is selected in the checkout configurator, and enables UDP relay on every IP in the plan — from $5/mo on a single dedicated address.

Most gaming use cases here don't need it — account isolation for OSRS, Dofus, or Metin2 runs over ordinary connections. Check the platform's page in the registry: where UDP is the requirement, the pill says so.

That's not what we sell, and we'd rather say it before you pay. Streaming services enforce regional catalogs for licensing reasons, their terms prohibit circumventing those blocks, and their detection teams specifically hunt datacenter IP ranges — so the experience would be poor even if the ethics didn't bother you. Any provider promising reliable Netflix unblocking on datacenter addresses is overpromising.

What does work, and what the pages here cover: collecting public platform data, running analytics, managing game accounts, and reaching a platform from a network that blocks it outright — an office filter or a country-level ISP block, which is an access problem rather than a licensing workaround. If your use case is the latter, a dedicated IP handles it well.
