What is a Proxy Server?

A server that users pass through when accessing a website. Proxy servers are typically configured to hide the visitor's IP address.

Why hide IP addresses?

Because the site you're trying to access can impose various restrictions based on IP address. Here are common situations:

• Sites that restrict access to specific countries only

• Sites that limit the number of accesses within a certain time period

• Sites that block specific IP addresses with bad records

When do you use a proxy server?

When extracting data from websites that are difficult to access domestically, setting the proxy country to a different country makes it easy to get the desired results from previously inaccessible web pages.

Listly premium proxies are proxy servers purchased through ethically operated overseas proxy services. They're shared servers used by all users, currently providing servers from multiple countries including the US/Germany/Netherlands, and countries may change.
