Readers land here mid-decision, usually with a cart open somewhere. The fastest thing we can do is set out what Hidefrom publishes, what it does not, and what a few dollars of testing settles better than any argument.
What we can and cannot tell you about Hidefrom
The company behind the name sits at hidefrom.com. We carry them as a web proxy.
Hidefrom is not in our priced record, so nothing about their rate appears below. That gap is stated rather than filled, which is the only honest option available.
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.
The domain record
The domain was registered on 17 November 2010, through NameSilo, LLC, which makes it about 15 years old. That record was read from the registry on 9 September 2026. The registry shows it renewed to 17 November 2026.
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.
The parts no marketing page answers
A pool total is not a promise
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.
Why 195 countries tells you nothing
Country totals are counted generously across this whole market. A country with a handful of addresses counts the same as one with hundreds of thousands. If your work depends on one location, test that location before you switch.
The day something goes wrong
Test the support channel before you need it. Ask something specific and technical, and judge both the speed and whether the answer came from somebody who understood the question.
Side by side, with the blanks left blank
This is the shortest table that still decides the purchase:
| Question to ask | Hidefrom | HProxy |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Not verified by us, read their page | From $0.44/GB, pay as you go |
| Does unused balance expire? | Worth confirming in writing before you commit | Never |
| Minimum commitment | Their terms page answers this | None |
| Identity checks | Check the current terms, this one moves | Card orders are screened, and verification is sometimes requested |
| Targeting | Not published clearly, ask before paying | Country, city and ISP |
| Free way to evaluate | On their own terms page | Free proxy list and proxy checker |
That comparison covers what is publishable. What is not publishable, and what actually decides this, is how many of your requests come back correct.
A test worth more than this comparison
Do this once and you will never need a comparison page for this decision again.
- Open an account on each and add the smallest amount they take. Skip the trial if a paid unit is cheap enough to buy outright.
- Point both at your real target, through your real tool, on the same day, with the same mix of requests.
- Log successes, failures and gigabytes used. Cost per successful request is the figure you are after.
- Verify a slice of the exits independently. Country labels in this market are self-reported and are not always right.
- Take the winner and set a reminder to run this again, since a result has a shelf life of about a quarter.
Who else is in this bracket
The same treatment, applied to the providers most often weighed against this one:
- Wossow alternatives
- Xitesite alternatives
- 2Fastsurfer alternatives
- As32 alternatives
- B1Secure alternatives
- Beckoningcat alternatives
The competing offer, for completeness
We are the pay as you go option in this market. Residential from $0.44 per GB, ISP and datacenter per address, mobile alongside them, all from one balance with nothing to forfeit. That model wins on irregular volume and loses on very large steady volume, which is worth knowing before you test.
