Proxys Test Results at a Glance

We Purchased and Tested Proxys.io Ourselves

A proxy provider can advertise reliable connections and fast speeds, but real performance depends on how the proxies handle live requests.

That is why we purchased and tested Proxys.io proxies ourselves rather than relying only on the provider’s published specifications.

We ran a 1,000-request benchmark and recorded:

• Successful requests
• Failed requests
• Success rate
• Failure rate
• Average response time

Test #1: Proxys.io 1,000-Request Success Rate

For proxies, a success rate above 95% is generally considered excellent. Proxys.io achieved a 99.90% success rate in our benchmark, indicating highly reliable proxy connections.

Test #2: Proxys.io Response Time

Success rate shows whether requests complete, while response time shows how quickly the proxy network delivers results.

In our 1,000-request benchmark, Proxys.io recorded an average response time of 1.82 seconds. The fastest response was 1.70 seconds, while the slowest response was 3.11 seconds.

Proxys.io Residential Proxy Features

Proxys.io uses a straightforward account dashboard with separate areas for Residential Proxies, Mobile Proxies, ISP Proxies, proxy lists, account settings, and API keys.

Dashboard & Setup Experience

Proxys.io provides a ready-to-use pooled proxy connection in the format username:password@pool.proxys.io:port. However, in our dashboard, we could not select a specific country, state, city, or ISP before generating the connection. This means the residential plan is better suited to general proxy use than tasks that require precise geo-targeting, such as checking local search results or city-level ad verification.

Step 1: Buy a residential proxy plan

Open Residential Proxies in your account and select a plan with the traffic amount you need.

Step 2: Open your active order

The order list shows the plan name, status, renewal price, total traffic, remaining traffic, purchase date, and expiry date.

Step 3: Open the proxy list

Click the list linked to your order to see the available proxy connections.

Step 4: Copy your credentials

The proxy list displays:

• Login
• Password
• Proxy host
• HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 port
• Ready-to-copy login:password@ip:port format

Step 5: Add the proxy to your tool

Copy the connection details into your scraper, browser profile, anti-detect browser, or code. Use the provided host, selected port, username, and password.
