01What is a proxy service like ProxyToo, and who is it for?
If you need to see the web as it looks in other regions, or spread a large number of requests, a proxy service like ProxyToo is a good fit. A proxy is a server in the middle that passes your request to a site through a different IP. The site sees the proxy IP instead of your real address and answers as it would for a local visitor.
ProxyToo brings seven kinds of IPs together in one account, so it works as a single place to buy proxies. Home broadband IPs, carrier mobile IPs, static residential IPs, datacenter IPs and IPv6 are all available side by side. When your job changes, you simply switch products on the same balance.
The site is available in 23 languages, so a team spread across countries can use the same dashboard in the language each person knows best. Sign up is just receiving one access token, which makes it quick to get going even with your very first proxy.
Because your account and balance are one, juggling several projects stays simple. It is especially handy if your work shifts often, checking search rankings today and app ads tomorrow. Pick the IPs you need when you need them and carry what is left to the next task.
- Developers collecting public data with code
- Marketers checking ads and search results by region
- Operators managing login locations for many accounts
- Online sellers tracking prices and stock abroad
02How do I choose between the seven proxy types?
The easiest way to choose a proxy type is to look at where the IP comes from and how you pay for it. Home broadband IPs suit strict sites, static IPs suit work that needs one address for a long time, and datacenter IPs suit sending many requests at a low cost.
Rotating residential proxies ($0.78 per GB) and mobile proxies ($2.18 per GB) are billed by traffic. You start using them right away with no order step, and only what you use comes off your balance, which is great for jobs with uneven volume. Unlimited residential proxies cost a flat $37.58 per day, so pick them for heavy days when you want traffic off your mind.
ISP proxies, dedicated datacenter proxies, shared datacenter proxies and IPv6 proxies are billed per IP. You order a count and a period, and keep using the IPs you received for that whole period. Shared datacenter has the lowest price per IP, and dedicated datacenter is the pick when you want IPs that only you use.
If you are unsure, run a small amount through rotating residential proxies first and move based on the results. With one balance, whatever is left carries straight over when you switch products.
- ISP proxies fit account work and staying logged in.
- Start SERP, ad and price collection with rotating residential proxies.
- Check app screens and mobile ads with mobile proxies.
- Unlimited residential proxies win on high data days.
- IPv6 proxies are the budget choice for many IPs on IPv6 sites.
- Shared datacenter proxies suit simple bulk lookups.
03When should I use rotating proxies vs sticky sessions?
Use rotating mode when every request should get a different IP, and a sticky session when a task runs over several steps. Both come from the same residential proxy pool, and you choose between them just by changing the username.
Rotating mode is a username with only a country in it. Connect with user-country-us and each request goes out on a fresh US home IP. For collection where pages do not depend on each other, like search results or product lists, your requests spread evenly across many IPs.
A sticky session adds session and a name of your choice to the end of the username. Write user-country-jp-session-shop1 and you keep working on the same Japanese IP for up to 120 minutes. It fits flows that need a steady address, such as logging in and reaching the cart, multi page forms, or a search followed by detail pages.
Change the session name and you get a new IP immediately. Give each unit of work its own name, like shop1 and shop2, and every flow keeps its own IP even when they run at the same time. When you need one address for weeks, move to ISP proxies, where the IP stays fixed for the whole period.
04How do I buy proxies with USDT, and how does the bonus work?
At ProxyToo you buy proxies by topping up your balance. Press Top up in the dashboard and a secure checkout window opens. Choose the amount, the coin and network (USDT (TRC20, BEP20, ERC20, Solana), USDC (BEP20, ERC20, Solana), BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL or LTC) and enter an email for the receipt. Send the exact amount shown to the address shown within 60 minutes and it reaches your balance once the deposit is confirmed.
Choose any amount from $30 to $5,000 in the checkout window. The top up bonus follows $100 +20%, $200 +25%, $300 +30%, $500 +35%, $1,000 +40%, $3,000 +45%, $5,000 +50%, so the bigger the top up, the more balance you receive. A processing fee is shown in the checkout and added to the total: 5% from $20, 3% from $40, 2% from $100, 1.75% from $200, 1.5% from $300 and 1% from $500.
For example, the $300 card gets a 30% bonus and adds $390 to your balance. Spent entirely on rotating residential proxies, that is 500 GB. The $1,000 card gets 40% and becomes $1,400, and the $5,000 card gets 50% and becomes $7,500.
When you send, match the coin, the network and the exact amount shown in the checkout. The exact amount is how your payment is recognized, so confirmation goes smoothly.
05How does country and city proxy targeting work?
You set the location by putting a country code and city name in the username. Rotating residential proxies cover 60 countries and 175 cities, so you can see how pages differ city by city, even inside one country.
For a country only, add a two letter country code, as in user-country-us. For a city, write the city name in lowercase with underscores for spaces, as in user-country-us-city-new_york. For mobile proxies, add type-mobile, as in user-type-mobile-country-gb, and choose from 56 countries.
City targeting shines in work where results change by area. Restaurant lists in delivery apps, search rankings that differ by city and local ads are typical examples. When country level is enough, set only the country to draw from a wider range of IPs.
ISP proxies let you choose from 60 countries when you order, and datacenter and IPv6 proxies come from 18 countries. Unlimited residential proxies mix IPs from many countries, so when a specific country matters, use rotating residential proxies.
When comparing several cities, give each city its own session name to keep results tidy. Lay the results from user-country-us-city-new_york next to another city's and the regional differences show up right away.
06How do I budget with one balance for every proxy?
One topped up balance pays for all seven products, so you simply split a single amount across your jobs. Traffic products are charged as you use them, while IP products and unlimited plans are charged for the count and period when you order.
Say you top up with the $300 card and receive $390 with the bonus. Spend $78 on 100 GB of rotating residential, $10.80 on 10 ISP proxies for a month, $10.90 on 5 GB of mobile and $37.58 on one day of unlimited residential, and the total is $137.28. The remaining $252.72 carries straight over to your next job.
Split like this, static IPs handle account work, residential handles daily collection, mobile handles app checks, and unlimited covers the day when a big crawl lands. Leftover balance stays in your account with no expiry and simply adds to next month's plan.
The dashboard shows your balance next to the amount you can use, so it is easy to decide which product to grow. As your workload rises, fill up with a larger bonus card in one go to lower your effective rate.
07How do I use proxies with Python, Puppeteer and other tools?
Most tools connect to a proxy with just four values, the host, port, username and password. Use the gateway gate.proxytoo.com:7000 as the host, and put your access token starting with pt_ in the password field.
Pick a country, city and session under Create connection details in the dashboard, and it builds the string for you in HTTP, SOCKS5, host:port:user:pass and curl formats. Copy the format you need and paste it, which saves you from assembling strings by hand.
In Python requests the address goes in the proxies setting, in Node.js into a proxy agent, and in Scrapy into the request proxy value. Browser automation tools like Puppeteer, Playwright and Selenium take the proxy address when the browser launches and authenticate with your username and token. Before wiring up a new tool, run one curl line in the terminal to confirm the connection.
Once connected, call an IP check page once from your tool. If the IP and country shown match what you put in the username, you are ready. From then on, the same code covers many regions by changing only the country, city and session values in the username.
- HTTP proxies cover web scraping and browser automation.
- Pick SOCKS5 when you also pass connections beyond web requests.
- Use a different session name for each unit of work.
- On first connect, check the exit IP and country with curl.
08How do I use proxies responsibly and stay unblocked?
The best way to stay unblocked is to work close to human browsing speed and stick to public information. A proxy spreads your requests across many IPs, so request timing and behavior need to fit as well for long, stable runs.
Read the site terms and robots.txt first, and limit collection to public data that fits the laws and privacy rules of each country. Leave gaps between requests, and store the results you receive to reuse them, instead of calling the same page again and again in a short time.
Matching headers and language settings to the exit country makes responses more natural. If you connect on a US IP, set the browser language and time zone to the US as well. With sticky sessions, keep cookies within a session so it reads like one visitor's journey.
If response codes change or check pages show up often, slow down and open a new session. For strict sites, moving from datacenter to residential or mobile proxies is a good next step.
09How do I get started right after buying proxies?
Three steps, sign up, top up and connect, take you to your first request. Sign up ends with receiving an access token, and that token is both your account ID and your proxy password.
On the sign up page, copy the token or save it as a file, then tick the I saved it box and your account is created. The server only keeps a hash of the token, so that file is the key to your account. Keep it in two safe places, such as a password manager and a secure folder. On a new device, that one token is all you need to log in.
Once your top up is credited, rotating residential and mobile proxies are ready to use with no order step. For ISP, datacenter, IPv6 and unlimited residential proxies, choose a count and period under Buy products in the dashboard.
Start with a small amount to check the connection and results, then move up to a bonus card once you know the size of the job. That way you save budget while quickly finding the product that fits your work.
- Get your access token and save it to a file.
- Open the checkout window, pick a coin and network, and send the exact amount shown.
- Pick a country and session in Create connection details.
- Paste the details into your tool and send your first request.
