Our IP quality and speed filter is a mechanism that checks for the quality and speed of the IP address using our proprietary quality and speed assurance algorithm before assigning it to you from our IP pool.

This does decrease the available IP pool. However, because dynamic residential IP addresses can also be used by other real internet users, websites have little incentive to permanently block such IPs, as they are risking blocking normal users as well. In such cases, IP quality plays a more important role than IP diversity.

Recommended Use Cases

The IP quality and speed filters is particularly beneficial for users managing social media accounts, including but not limited to:

  • Facebook

  • Google

  • Amazon

  • eBay

  • Ticketmaster

  • etc.

For scraping purposes, while the IP quality and speed filters can be useful, they have diminishing returns in terms of success rates.

IP Filter Modes

The IP quality filter currently has four modes:

  1. Quality (default)

  2. Quality + Speed

  3. Speed

  4. Max pool size

Each mode dictates the type of IP addresses that get assigned to the proxy. Here are our recommendations:

  • Quality: Recommended for managing social media accounts.

  • Quality + Speed: Recommended for Affiliate Marketing, Social Media Management and Developers

  • Speed: Recommended for smooth and uninterrupted browsing

  • Max pool size: Recommended for high-scale operations like data scraping.

How to customize the IP filter strength

You can increase or lower the strength of the IP filter by setting it in the proxy username.

  • High IP Mode is recommended for websites with advanced detection mechanisms. This mode is especially advised for users who experience frequent restrictions and low success rates
