For three years, residential proxies only got cheaper — in 2026, the trend broke. According to a survey of 13 providers, prices turned upward by 25%, and discount coupons of 40-50% disappeared. We analyze the market numbers, the reasons for the contraction in the supply of residential IPs (takedown of IPIDEA and NetNut, ban on proxy-SDKs in televisions), and what this means for the traffic budget.

Want to check search results from different regions or collect data without restrictions? We explain how to set up proxies for anonymous searching through DuckDuckGo, Startpage, and SearXNG.

WebAssembly applications operate differently than regular websites, requiring special proxy configurations. We explore why standard methods fail and how to fix this.

Explaining the HTTP CONNECT tunnel in simple terms: why it is necessary for secure work with advertising accounts, anti-detect browsers, and marketplace scraping.

Camoufox is in one study in the middle of the table, and in another — among the best. We analyze two benchmarks from 2026 with an open methodology (651 verdicts, 31 targets), explain why nodriver wins on live targets under Cloudflare, and show the detection layer that neither of them measures — IP reputation.

How to correctly configure a proxy in Ruby projects using Net::HTTP and Faraday — with examples for Rails and standalone scripts, IP rotation, and bypassing blocks.

A complete guide to setting up a proxy in PHP using cURL and Guzzle HTTP Client — with code examples, IP rotation, and tips for choosing the type of proxy for scraping and automation.

On August 5, 2026, Sonatype recorded a campaign called Flooding Dropper in npm — 846 malicious packages (by August 11, the count grew to 1033). The cross-platform loader cleans up environment variables, credentials, and sessions. We analyze the mechanics of the campaign and why it is more expensive for parsing teams than a regular password leak: along with .env, proxy credentials, cookie sessions, and anti-detect browser profiles are also compromised.

A complete guide to configuring proxies in corporate Java applications: Spring Boot, OkHttp, RestTemplate, WebClient — with code examples and proxy selection recommendations.

How to properly configure a proxy server in Go using http.Client — from basic setup to IP rotation and working with SOCKS5. A complete guide with code examples.
