Leaving FOGLDN: the numbers side by side

A FOGLDN alternative, judged by a competitor who says so up front: the record we hold, the gaps in it, and the test that outranks this page.

Free proxies won't hold up here.

Shared datacenter IPs get flagged and dropped fast. When it has to hold, gaming, streaming, accounts, you need mobile and residential IPs that read as a real device, from $0.44/GB, pay as you go.

Residential proxies

Most pages titled "FOGLDN alternative" are affiliate lists with the payout order baked in. This one is written by a rival, which is a different bias and an easier one to correct for, because you can check every number we print.

FOGLDN on the record

The company behind the name sits at fogldn.com.

A price is missing here on purpose. We have not captured a sourced rate for FOGLDN recently enough to publish one, and a stale number in this market is a wrong number.

Note the price, the unit it is quoted in, the minimum, and the expiry. Unit and expiry are where most comparisons in this market quietly go wrong.

What FOGLDN says about itself today

On 9 September 2026 their homepage carried the title "FOGLDN Proxy Tester Download - Test Proxies Easily". Their own summary of the product runs: "FOGLDN Proxy Tester is a simple tool to test and check proxies. Download and check if your proxies are working properly before using them for web scraping, automation, or any other purpose."

What else that page states, without interpretation:

We found no separate pricing page linked from the homepage, which usually means the price arrives by quotation.

Treat all of it as advertising, because it is. Its value is that it is dated and quotable, which is more than most comparison pages offer.

What the registration record shows

The domain was registered on 2 July 2016, through Cloudflare, Inc, which makes it about 10 years old. Those dates come from a registry query on 23 April 2026. The Internet Archive holds 20 snapshots of the site, the earliest from August 2020. Their registration is booked through 2 July 2026.

Age is not quality. A long registration does not make a network good, and a new one does not make it bad. What it does rule out is the shortest-lived pattern in this market, which is a site that appears, sells, and is gone inside a year.

Where published figures stop being useful

Ten million addresses, and none of them yours

Claims of ten million, one hundred million or more say nothing about whether your requests get through this week. Your job meets the handful of exits it draws, in your countries, against one target. Rotation policy and freshness move that outcome far more than the headline total.

The entry price is not the effective price

Rates in this market are quoted from the bottom of the table. The relevant question is which row you land on at your volume, and whether reaching a cheaper row costs more in commitment than it saves per unit.

Threads, not gigabytes, are often the ceiling

Rate limits are often enforced per account rather than per plan, which means buying more traffic does not raise them. Confirm how yours scales before you assume a bigger plan runs faster.

A comparison that admits what it cannot say

The table answers what we can answer and marks what we cannot:

The ten minute version of this decision

For a few dollars you can get a verdict specific to your job, which no comparison page can honestly promise you.

  1. Buy the minimum each side offers. Prefer a small paid batch over a trial, because trial traffic does not always ride the same pool.
  2. Send an identical workload through each: same target, same tooling, same time of day, same request mix.
  3. Log successes, failures and gigabytes used. Cost per successful request is the figure you are after.
  4. Verify a slice of the exits independently. Country labels in this market are self-reported and are not always right.
  5. Take the winner and set a reminder to run this again, since a result has a shelf life of about a quarter.

Where HProxy sits in that test

Our own lane is easy to state. Residential starts at $0.44 per GB, the balance is topped up when you want and does not expire, there is no subscription unless the optional discount suits you, and city and ISP targeting are included rather than sold separately. If the test above puts us second on your target, buy the winner.

Frequently asked questions

Why look for a FOGLDN alternative at all?
The usual reasons any buyer compares two providers: the pricing model stopped fitting the usage pattern, a target started blocking, a specific country underperformed, a balance expired, or support went quiet. None of those is visible from a marketing page, which is why a small paid test on your own target settles it faster than any review.
How is HProxy different?
The models differ more than the products do. HProxy is pay as you go from a balance you top up when you want, the balance does not expire, there is no subscription unless the optional discount suits you, and residential starts at $0.44 per GB with city and ISP targeting included. Whether that beats a tiered plan depends on your usage pattern, which a short test settles.
Do I have to talk to sales or sign a contract to switch?
Not with us. You can sign up, add funds and send traffic without a call, a minimum or a subscription. Whether another provider requires any of those is on their own pricing page and is worth reading, because a required commitment is part of the price even when it is not part of the rate.
How often should I re-test a provider?
Quarterly is a reasonable rhythm for most workloads, and immediately after a noticeable drop in success rate. Pools are rebuilt, suppliers change and detection improves, so a benchmark from last year describes a network that no longer exists.
Does a bigger pool mean better results?
No. Your job meets only the exits it draws, in the countries it needs, against one target's defences. Freshness and rotation policy move the outcome far more than the headline total, and pool totals across this market are counted generously and rarely audited.

Proxies that don't die mid-job

Residential, ISP, datacenter and mobile, verified by the same engine that runs tens of millions of checks. They read as a real device and hold up under load. Pay as you go, and your balance never expires. $0.44/GB is the 2,000 GB+ rate; a single gigabyte is $0.50/GB, with no minimum order.
