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.

ProxyFish (proxyfish.com) sells private datacenter SOCKS5 and HTTPS proxies, Sprint ISP proxies, shared residential traffic and a Pro membership for its browser extension, and it runs a free proxy list. On 27 September 2026 its site blocked our reader with a Cloudflare page. The prices below therefore come from the Internet Archive copies of its pages from 1 and 4 May 2026, the latest we could read. For the comparison, jump to the alternatives table.

Sprint ISP proxies. Addresses on the Sprint network, all located in Ashburn, with HTTPS and SOCKS5.

Shared residential traffic. A pool it puts at 120 million+ IPs in 195+ countries, sold by the gigabyte as a monthly plan, with country targeting and sticky or rotating sessions over HTTP(S). A Premium residential plan was marked "Coming Soon".

The extension and Pro membership. A free Chrome and Firefox extension for its proxies, and a monthly membership that adds more than 100 shared addresses in 20+ locations.

A free proxy list. It also publishes free SOCKS and HTTPS proxy lists, sorted by country.

The fine print

No refunds. Its terms say "We do not offer any refunds in any shape or form". A proxy that fails on one site is not exchanged, unless it stops responding altogether.

Billing through PayPal. The terms describe recurring PayPal subscriptions that you must cancel on PayPal yourself, and a missed cancellation turns into store credit that is never refunded.

One unpaid day. An invoice left unpaid for one day can cut the service, and the old addresses are lost.

IP changes once a month. You can swap your addresses once a month, starting after the first month.

No company behind the name. Its pages give Bucharest, Romania as the contact, and its terms send disputes to arbitration under Romanian law. No company name or register number appears.

Banned tools. Its terms forbid ScrapeBox, xRumer, mailing and torrents.

Its history

The current registration of proxyfish.com began on 7 February 2016, and before that the Internet Archive shows only a placeholder page, in 2009 and 2014. By February 2017 the site sold private SOCKS and HTTP proxies next to free lists, and it has kept that shape since. Its about page still speaks of seven years of service, and its footer reads "Copyright 2021".

Where ProxyFish is stronger

Cheap Sprint ISP proxies. One Sprint ISP address cost $1.99 a month in May 2026, less than our static ISP address at $2.70/IP for a month.

A browser extension today. Its Chrome and Firefox extension works with its proxies now, while ours is not released yet.

Where HProxy differs

We sell proxies too, so read this part as the account of a competitor. Every HProxy fact here comes from our own product code and pages.

Datacenter for less. Our dedicated IPv4 costs $1.58/IP for a month with unlimited bandwidth, against $3.50 for one ProxyFish SOCKS5 proxy in May 2026.

Residential from one gigabyte, with no expiry. Premium, our pool with state, city and ISP targeting, costs $1.49/GB for one gigabyte, against $5 a GB on a ProxyFish monthly plan. Our gigabytes have no scheduled expiry, and sessions run from 3 minutes to 24 hours. If a country is enough, Lite costs $0.50/GB for one gigabyte.

ISP with a country choice. You pick the country of a static ISP address when you buy it, where every ProxyFish Sprint address sits in Ashburn.

A company in the German register. Our imprint names the company behind HProxy, registered in the German commercial register.

Where we are behind. Our static ISP address costs more than a Sprint address at ProxyFish, and we have no browser extension out yet.

The alternatives, side by side

One private datacenter IPv4 address for a month, at the smallest order. The ProxyFish row comes from its store as archived on 4 May 2026, and every other figure from the page of each vendor, read on 26 or 27 September 2026.

Who ProxyFish suits

It suits a buyer who wants a few private SOCKS5 proxies or cheap Sprint ISP addresses by the month, or who likes working through a browser extension.

It suits you less if you want a refund when a plan does not work out, a named company, or ISP addresses outside Ashburn.

Before you commit

Check the current prices in its store, since ours date from May 2026. Its $3 residential trial or a single $3.50 proxy is a cheap way to test your own target first. Our proxy checker shows whether an address answers, how fast, and from where, whoever sold it.

The limits of this review

Its site blocked our reader on 27 September 2026, so every ProxyFish price and term here comes from Internet Archive copies of 1 and 4 May 2026, and they may have changed. We did not buy a plan or test its network, and its pool size, customer counts and locations are its own claims.

Every figure here carries the day it was read, and this page is due for a check by 27 December 2026.
