Polyzero is blocked or down: what to use instead

Comparing a Polyzero 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.

Nothing here is a hit piece. Polyzero has customers who are well served by it, and this page says which ones. It also says where we think the model costs a buyer money.

The record we hold

The domain is polyzero.net. They are filed here as a web proxy.

Polyzero 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.

Copy down the entry rate, the commitment attached to the cheapest rate, the minimum top-up and the expiry rule. Those four turn a marketing figure into something you can compare.

What the registration record shows

The domain was registered on 15 December 2003, through Register.com - Network Solutions, LLC, which makes it about 22 years old. That record was read from the registry on 9 September 2026. The registry shows it renewed to 15 December 2030.

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

Logging, and who can read it

Free and cheap services are paid for somehow. Read the privacy policy for what is retained, for how long, and whether traffic is inspected or altered. This matters more than speed for anything involving an account.

Why the pool number is the least useful figure

The number that matters is how many usable exits you can reach in the one country your job needs, this week. A pool total averages that away, which is why two providers with similar totals produce opposite results on the same site.

The reputation you inherit

A shared address arrives with a history you did not create and cannot see. For read-only work it rarely matters. For anything that keeps a session, it is the most common cause of unexplained failure.

That comparison covers what is publishable. What is not publishable, and what actually decides this, is how many of your requests come back correct.

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

Others in this market

Nearest alternatives by product shape rather than by who pays us, since nobody does:

Our side of it

What we offer is one account holding residential, ISP, mobile and datacenter, priced from $0.44 per GB on residential, with no tier to climb and no allocation to lose at month end. Whether that suits you depends on how steady your volume is.

Frequently asked questions

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.
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.
