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

A proxy provider is not a product you can evaluate from a screenshot. It is a network, and networks age. What was true about GonzoProxy a year ago may be wrong today, which is why the last section is a test rather than a verdict.

What we know about GonzoProxy, and what we do not

Their site is gonzoproxy.com. Category, as we track it: proxy provider.

We price the providers we can source and date, and GonzoProxy is not currently one of them. The rest of this page is about what to check when you read their pricing yourself.

When you do read it, note four things: the rate you actually qualify for today, the minimum purchase, whether unused balance expires, and whether failed requests are billed. Those four decide the real cost more than the headline does.

The site, as it reads today

The title tag on 9 September 2026 was "Residential Proxies , 20M+ IPs from $2/GB, GonzoProxy". Their own summary of the product runs: "Buy residential proxies: 20M+ real IPs in 190+ countries, city and ISP targeting. Pay only for traffic , it never expires. No subscription. From $2/GB."

Reading the same page for the things buyers actually ask about:

The product lines named on that page are residential, datacenter, mobile and SOCKS5. They advertise 190 countries or locations. Payment methods mentioned: crypto. The page offers some form of free trial. 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.

How long GonzoProxy has been trading

The domain was registered on 24 August 2022, through GoDaddy.com, LLC, which makes it about 4 years old. We pulled that from the registry on 23 April 2026. The current registration term ends 24 August 2026.

This proves nothing about the product. It is a cheap check against the one failure mode that costs buyers real money in this market, which is paying a provider that will not exist in six months.

What our crawl found

Our own crawl reached 578 of their pages. The mix was 164 blog pages and 2 location pages.

The number is not a compliment or a criticism. It describes how much of their effort goes into being found, which is worth knowing when you are weighing a marketing claim against a measurement.

How active GonzoProxy still is

Our crawl of their site found 578 pages carrying a date, 164 of them articles. The oldest is from August 2026 and the newest from August 2026. 578 of them carry a date inside the last twelve months.

Read that as a liveness check rather than a review. It says the lights are on, and nothing about whether the proxies work on your target.

What you still do not know after reading their site

Why the pool number is the least useful figure

Nobody audits pool totals in this market, and the counting rules differ between vendors. Even an accurate figure describes addresses that exist, not addresses you will be routed through. Treat it as a marketing unit rather than a capability.

What the starting rate leaves out

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.

Concurrency limits decide throughput

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.

The two of us, on the questions that matter

Six questions, both answers, and an honest blank where we do not hold a current figure:

The useful part of that table is the left column. Take those six questions to any provider in this market and the answers will sort them faster than any review.

The measurement that outranks every review

This costs less than a coffee and produces the only evidence that applies to your workload.

  1. Take the smallest paid unit each provider will sell you. A free trial works for a first pass, though trials sometimes ride better pools than paid plans do.
  2. Fire the same batch through both on one afternoon. Different days are different conditions, and that ruins the comparison.
  3. Track the success rate and the bandwidth. A cheap gigabyte that fails half the time is not cheap.
  4. Run a sample of the addresses through an independent lookup, because advertised geography and actual geography differ more often than the market admits.
  5. Choose on the measurement, not the marketing, and expect the answer to change within a year.

Comparable providers

We hold the same record for these, and the same honest limits apply to each:

Our own position

Residential starts at $0.44 per GB, the balance never expires, there is no minimum commitment and no sales call, and city and ISP targeting are included. We publish our free side openly, 129,131,311 verification checks and counting, because a network that is confident has no reason to fear measurement.

Frequently asked questions

What does GonzoProxy advertise?
We do not hold a current, sourced price for GonzoProxy, 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 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.
