Billal Ainaoui is the founder of HProxy.com. He started it to make honest proxy infrastructure anyone can afford, and he still reads every support message himself. The guides he signs come from the prices, tests and support questions the team works with every day. HProxy sells proxies, so weigh his view with that in mind.
