2. Proxy types available at Anonymous Proxies

Anonymous Proxies groups its proxy services into three main categories: HTTP, SOCKS5, and Other. It also offers VPN services, including WireGuard VPN and Amnezia VPN, as an additional connectivity option. 

The HTTP section contains the largest selection, while SOCKS5 focuses on application-level tunneling and encrypted proxy connections, and the Other category covers Trojan and Smart DNS services.

2.1. HTTP proxies

The HTTP category covers six different proxy models, ranging from conventional datacenter IPs to residential, mobile, ISP, and rotating options. This gives users more flexibility to prioritize speed, IP reputation, persistence, or rotation depending on the target.

2.1.1. Datacenter proxies

Anonymous Proxies' datacenter proxies use IPs hosted in Tier-1 datacenter infrastructure and are positioned for high-volume tasks where speed and cost efficiency are important. Users can choose individual IPs rather than being limited to predefined packages.

  • Bandwidth: Unlimited

  • Coverage: 25+ countries 

  • Rotation: Static 

  • Protocols: HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5 

The combination of dedicated IP selection, high bandwidth, and relatively low per-IP pricing makes this option suitable for scraping, SERP monitoring, automation, and other high-volume workflows.

2.1.2. ISP proxies

ISP proxies use IP addresses registered to real internet service providers while being hosted on datacenter infrastructure. Anonymous Proxies positions them as a middle ground between residential-level IP trust and datacenter-style performance.

  • Usage: Dedicated

  • Bandwidth: Unlimited

  • Rotation: Static

  • Protocols: HTTP(S) and SOCKS5

With dedicated IPs and unlimited bandwidth, ISP proxies are better suited to workflows that need stable sessions or persistent identities rather than frequent IP changes.

2.1.3. Backconnect proxies

Backconnect proxies use a single gateway while the provider manages the rotating IP pool behind it. This means users do not need to maintain a list of individual proxies or write their own rotation logic.

  • Gateway: Single endpoint

  • IP pool: Millions of rotating IPs

  • Rotation: New IP per request or according to the configured rotation

  • IP management: Automated

  • Protocols: HTTP, HTTPS

The single-endpoint setup simplifies large-scale scraping and other high-volume workflows where automated IP rotation is more convenient than managing individual addresses.

2.1.4. Rotating residential proxies

Anonymous Proxies' rotating residential proxies route requests through a large pool of residential IPs and can rotate the address per request or maintain a session when needed. The provider advertises millions of exit IPs and coverage across 190+ countries.

  • Advertised proxy pool: Millions of residential IPs

  • Coverage: 190+ countries

  • Rotation: Per request or session

  • Concurrent connections: Unlimited

  • Traffic: Non-expiring

The combination of residential IPs, flexible rotation, detailed geo-targeting, and non-expiring traffic makes this option particularly suitable for web scraping, price monitoring, ad verification, and location-sensitive research.

2.1.5. Rotating mobile proxies

Rotating mobile proxies provide access to 4G/5G mobile IPs that change automatically. Anonymous Proxies positions them for mobile-oriented targets, social platforms, and workflows where mobile-network IPs can offer a different trust profile from datacenter or residential addresses.

  • Gateway: Single endpoint

  • Coverage: 150+ countries

  • Rotation: Rotating and sticky sessions

  • Protocols: HTTP, SOCKS5

This option is more suitable for use cases that specifically benefit from mobile IPs, such as social platforms, mobile-targeted testing, and location-sensitive automation.

Overall, the HTTP lineup gives users considerable flexibility: static datacenter and ISP proxies prioritize persistence, while residential, mobile, backconnect, and rotating datacenter options provide different approaches to IP rotation and target compatibility.

2.2. SOCKS5 proxies

The SOCKS5 category focuses on proxy connections that can handle broader application traffic than standard HTTP proxies. Anonymous Proxies offers both conventional SOCKS5 proxies and encrypted Shadowsocks connections.

2.2.1. SOCKS5 proxies

Anonymous Proxies' SOCKS5 proxies support both datacenter and ISP-assigned IPs. The provider highlights compatibility with games, SSH, bots, browsers, and applications that require broader protocol support.

  • IP types: Datacenter and ISP

  • Protocols: SOCKS5

  • Traffic: TCP and UDP/QUIC

  • IP options: Dedicated and shared, depending on product

SOCKS5 is a practical choice when the application does not rely solely on HTTP traffic or when UDP support is required, such as gaming and some P2P-related workflows.

2.2.2. Shadowsocks proxies

Shadowsocks provides an encrypted tunnel built around the SOCKS5 protocol. Anonymous Proxies uses dedicated datacenter infrastructure for its Shadowsocks service and promotes it for environments where traffic inspection or filtering is a concern.

  • Encryption: AEAD

  • Infrastructure: Dedicated servers

  • DPI protection: Supported

  • Device compatibility: Broad device support

This option is more relevant when encrypted proxy traffic and resistance to deep packet inspection are priorities rather than simple IP replacement.

Overall, the SOCKS5 lineup extends Anonymous Proxies beyond browser-based HTTP traffic, with standard SOCKS5 for broader application compatibility and Shadowsocks for encrypted tunneling.

2.3. Other proxies

The Other category contains two more specialized services: Trojan proxies and Smart DNS proxies. These are designed less around conventional proxy rotation and more around traffic obfuscation or DNS-level access to geo-restricted content.

2.3.1. Trojan proxies

Trojan proxies disguise proxy traffic as regular HTTPS traffic and use TLS encryption. Anonymous Proxies positions them for environments with strict filtering or deep packet inspection.

  • Traffic appearance: HTTPS

  • Encryption: TLS 1.3

  • DPI resistance: Designed to bypass inspection

  • Domain camouflage: Supported

Trojan proxies are mainly suited to users who need an obfuscated connection that is less distinguishable from ordinary HTTPS traffic.

2.3.2. Smart DNS proxies

Smart DNS proxies work at the DNS level rather than routing all traffic through a conventional proxy tunnel. Anonymous Proxies positions the service for bypassing geo-restrictions while avoiding the encryption overhead associated with VPN connections.

  • Encryption: None

  • Geo-unblocking: Supported

  • Setup: Simple device-level configuration

  • Use case: Streaming and geo-restricted content

This makes Smart DNS more relevant to streaming and content access than to IP-based scraping or automation workflows.

Overall, the Other category gives Anonymous Proxies options for users who need traffic obfuscation or DNS-based geo-unblocking rather than a conventional rotating proxy.

3. Key features of Anonymous Proxies proxies

Anonymous Proxies combines a broad product range with several account-level features that make proxy selection and management relatively flexible.

  • Location selection: Users can choose IPs by subnet, city, state, or country for supported products.

  • Dual authentication: Username/password authentication and IP whitelisting are both supported.

  • Individual IP selection: Supported products allow users to choose specific IP addresses instead of relying entirely on predefined packages.

  • Instant activation: Proxies are activated after payment is processed.

  • Wide tool compatibility: Anonymous Proxies says its infrastructure integrates with more than 600 tools.

These features give users more control over how they select, authenticate, and deploy proxies across different workflows.

4. Anonymous Proxies pricing overview

Anonymous Proxies uses different pricing models depending on the proxy product. Some services are priced per IP, while rotating and traffic-based products use bandwidth-based pricing. Volume and billing-period discounts are also available on selected products. Below are the prices of some packages for your reference:
