Leaving HTTPTunnel: the numbers side by side

A HTTPTunnel 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

We keep a record of what providers in this market charge and what happens to them over time. This page is the part of that record covering HTTPTunnel, written up for somebody deciding today.

What we can and cannot tell you about HTTPTunnel

The company behind the name sits at httptunnel.ge.

A price is missing here on purpose. We have not captured a sourced rate for HTTPTunnel 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 HTTPTunnel says about itself today

As of 9 September 2026 the tab reads "HTTPTunnel — anonymous proxy servers, tested.". Their own summary of the product runs: "Free, tested anonymous proxies. Bulk-check connectivity, anonymity, and speed. Bypass restrictions, keep your IP private."

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

They advertise 195 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.

What the timestamps show

Our crawl of their site found 8 pages carrying a date. The oldest is from May 2026 and the newest from May 2026. 8 of them carry a date inside the last twelve months.

Recent dates prove somebody is still at the keyboard. They prove nothing about the network, which is what the test at the end of this page is for.

Where published figures stop being useful

The country total, and the country you use

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.

Match the units before anything else

Half this market prices bandwidth and half prices addresses. A per-address plan is cheap for heavy traffic through few exits and ruinous for light traffic through many, and the reverse holds for per-gigabyte plans.

What happens when it breaks at two in the morning

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.

A comparison that admits what it cannot say

The rows that matter, with our own answers stated plainly:

Two notes on that table. The rows we left for you to check are not evasions: those terms change, and printing a stale figure is exactly the failure this page is trying to avoid. And no table can hold the number that should decide your purchase, which is the success rate on your own target.

How to settle it yourself in ten minutes

Run this before you commit any volume. It replaces every opinion on this page, including ours.

  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. Keep whichever pool won on your job. Re-run this whenever success rate drops or the bill moves.

The other names that come up

Other providers in the same bracket, priced and dated the same way:

The competing offer, for completeness

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 HTTPTunnel 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 HTTPTunnel advertise?
We do not hold a current, sourced price for HTTPTunnel, 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.
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.

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.
