IPStation test results: ProxyBros Lab
IPStation's residential proxies were strong on reliability: 99.6% of requests succeeded in the Germany run. The US run was a little lower at 98%, which is still strong by our thresholds. The IP pool was also strong. No IP repeated in the US and Singapore runs, and nearly every response came from a different subnet. Real websites scored strong. Bing and Wikipedia passed almost every request, and Amazon passed most of them. eBay was not scored because it blocks our HTTP client through any proxy. Speed was average: the median response with a random country was 1.7 s from Germany and the US. From Singapore it was slower at 2.5 s. HTTP and SOCKS5 both connected in every region, and anonymity could not be determined in this round.
We did not test city and state targeting, large-file download speed, sites that check visitors with a browser and JavaScript, or pricing and plans.
