Replacing Geonix: free lists that survive a check

Comparing a Geonix alternative? The published numbers, the questions their pricing page leaves open, and a ten minute test that beats every review.

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.

The market Geonix trades in has a wide honesty range. Some vendors publish every tier, some publish a starting rate that nobody reaches, and a few publish nothing at all. Knowing which kind you are looking at is half the decision.

Geonix on the record

Geonix operates from geonix.com. Our classification for them is free proxy list.

A price is missing here on purpose. We have not captured a sourced rate for Geonix 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 is on their front page

Read 9 September 2026, the homepage titles itself "Buy Proxy - Private Dedicated Proxy Servers". The description they publish for search engines reads: "Buy proxy from $0.9. Private datacenter IPv4, IPv6, mobile, ISP proxies from Geonix. Dedicated 24/7 support, 200+ countries, high-quality IP pools."

Also on the page, stated plainly:

The product lines named on that page are SOCKS5 and IPv6. They advertise 38 countries or locations. 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.

Longevity, on the public record

The domain was registered on 12 February 1999, through NameCheap, Inc, which makes it about 27 years old. That record was read from the registry on 9 September 2026. The registry shows it renewed to 12 February 2027.

Read that as a floor rather than a recommendation. Longevity says somebody has kept paying the registrar, and in a market with this much churn that is worth ten seconds of your attention.

How much site there is

A crawl of 345 pages on 19 June 2026 returned 271 blog pages.

That mix tells you how the company sells. Heavy location pages mean a geography-led pitch, heavy blog means a search-led one, and a single pricing page usually means one simple offer or one sales call.

Who actually runs Geonix

We checked this one by hand on 6 September 2026. It is a list, and we record the operator as a company that sells proxies.

This list belongs to a business selling proxies. Read it as marketing that happens to contain data rather than as a neutral survey, in the same way you should read ours.

The Internet Archive has it from 4 March 2001 to 1 January 2026, about 22 years of coverage. The domain was registered 12 February 1999 through NameCheap, Inc.

The number that matters, and that no list page prints, is how many entries still work. Ours is public: 589918 addresses discovered, 4023 alive at the last check, median lifespan 145 hours. Apply that decay to any undated list you are reading.

What the timestamps show

Our crawl of their site found 343 pages carrying a date, 271 of them articles. The oldest is from July 2023 and the newest from August 2026. 272 of them carry a date inside the last twelve months.

An actively maintained site is table stakes rather than a recommendation. It does rule out the failure that costs buyers the most here, which is prepaying a company that has quietly stopped.

The questions Geonix gets asked

The Keyword Planner puts brand demand at 70 a month: 70 a month for a review of them. Figures read from Google Keyword Planner on 9 September 2026.

Weighted towards people checking whether to trust it. A comparison that ignores that and opens with a pitch has misread the room.

The top bid on those terms reaches $5.60 a click. That is the market pricing its own customers, and it explains why almost every other result you found is an affiliate page.

What the advertised numbers cannot tell you

A pool total is not a promise

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.

Why 195 countries tells you nothing

Ask for the pool size in your country rather than in total, and expect the answer to be vague. Where it is not published, the ten minute test at the end of this page settles it for a few dollars.

The day something goes wrong

Support quality is invisible until it is the only thing that matters. A cheap provider that takes three days to answer a routing problem has cost you more than the saving, and no pricing page reveals that.

What separates them, in a table

This is the shortest table that still decides the purchase:

Question to askGeonixHProxy
Entry priceNot verified by us, read their pageFrom $0.44/GB, pay as you go
Does unused balance expire?Check the current terms, this one movesNever
Minimum commitmentNot published clearly, ask before payingNone
Identity checksOn their own terms pageCard orders are screened, and verification is sometimes requested
TargetingRead their current termsCountry, city and ISP
Free way to evaluateWorth confirming in writing before you commitFree proxy list and proxy checker

Nothing in that table settles the decision on its own. It narrows the field to two or three, and then measurement finishes the job.

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. Start with the smallest purchase each vendor allows, so the test costs less than the decision it replaces.
  2. Use your own scraper and your own target. A benchmark against a neutral site measures nothing you will experience.
  3. Count how many requests returned what you wanted, and how much bandwidth each side spent doing it.
  4. Spot-check the exits. Confirm they are in the country you paid for and the connection type you were sold.
  5. Buy the one that won on your target, and diarise a re-test in three months.

Who else is in this bracket

The same treatment, applied to the providers most often weighed against this one:

Where HProxy sits in that test

We sell residential proxies from $0.44 per GB with no subscription and a balance that does not expire, plus ISP, mobile and datacenter in the same account. That is the pitch, and the test above is a better judge of it than this paragraph.

Frequently asked questions

Why look for a Geonix 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.
What does Geonix advertise?
We do not hold a current, sourced price for Geonix, so this page does not print one. Read their own pricing page for the rate, the minimum and the commitment, and note the date you read it, because all three move.
How do I compare two providers fairly?
Match the units first, because residential is billed per gigabyte, datacenter and ISP per address, and mobile per day or per port. Then compare the rate you can actually reach today rather than the volume tier behind a commitment. Finish by measuring the success rate on your own target, since a cheap request that fails costs more than a dearer one that works.
Is a cheaper provider usually worse?
Not reliably. Price in this market reflects the supply model and the sales overhead as much as the network. What price does not tell you is the success rate on your target, and that is the figure that decides whether the cheaper option was cheap or expensive. Measure before assuming either way.
Why do free proxy lists stop working so quickly?
Because the addresses on them are mostly misconfigured devices that get fixed, or short-lived hosts that get shut down. We measure this on our own free network: of 589918 addresses discovered, 4023 were answering at the last check. A list without a check date is telling you nothing about today.

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.
