Shared Proxies
What is a Shared Proxy?
A shared proxy is a network solution that sources its IP addresses from cloud providers’ servers. This forms its major advantage: cost efficiency. Infatica’s highest-quality shared proxy also offers you:
- 99,99% uptime and maximum performace
- No CAPTCHAs or other roadblocks
- Millions of IPs with premium quality
Why should you use Shared Proxies?
Shared proxies are a key tool in a wide set of use cases: web scraping, uptime and performance tests, ad verification, automation, research, and more. Additionally, their functionality also includes enhanced privacy and online security: You’ll be browsing with a new IP address and your location will be hidden from third parties (e.g. ad agencies.)
Low-cost and efficient proxies
Shared proxies are particularly useful for their cost effectiveness: They can be a great tool if you don’t need a full-blown residential network and prefer lower-price IP addresses instead. Nevertheless, they have all the necessary features that make efficient collection of public web data possible:
- Unlimited number of concurrent sessions
- Advances rotation
- Wide set of geolocations
- And more...

Dedicated vs. shared proxies
When it comes to data collection or marketing research, you need to pick the right tool for this job – and proxies are typically categorized into these groups: dedicated and shared. Here’s a brief overview of them:
Dedicated proxies
With dedicated proxies, the given IP address is provided exclusively to a single user, preventing IP overlap. This can be useful for tasks like social media marketing where stable access to particular IPs is important – but for some companies, premium price of dedicated proxies can be a limitation.
Shared proxies
Shared proxies are a cost-effective alternative: They provide a large amount of low-price IP addresses with the same opportunities for collecting public web data reliably.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
One of the most common uses of proxies is enterprise-grade data collection: Fetched data is later used for price aggregation, SEO, brand protection, marketing, academic research, uptime and performance tracking, corporate data protection, cybersecurity, and more. Last but not least, proxies can be a personal privacy tool.
-
Yes, but it would require some heavy-lifting on the other party’s end. Shared proxies cannot make their users completely anonymous: Users can be tracked via attack vectors like web browsers or malware. However, proxies do make it harder for ad agencies to track website visitors and target ads at them.
-
Yes: Security systems of every popular website include basic functionality of preventing web scraping. Systems like reCAPTCHA and Cloudflare analyze IP addresses to detect web crawlers – and suspicious IPs get banned. Proxies address this problem by rotating your scraper’s IPs and helping it avoid triggering these systems.
-
Low-quality proxies – those which allow too many users on their IP subnets – are certainly detectable: They just cannot sustain their large user base with low IP address count.
This isn’t a major problem for an industry leader in proxy innovation, so Infatica’s proxies are used in a lot of different data collection software. -
Free proxies are a subpar choice because of security risks: Their providers are known to sell their users’ traffic to third parties or even steal their data. Free proxies, therefore, can be OK when using them briefly – for example, to take a peek at a geo-blocked website.
-
Yes – if your proxy provider follows its code of ethics and sources IPs from consenting users and companies. Proxies are simply a user-friendly network utility, not unlike a VPN: They route your web traffic without interfering in your system or browser on a deeper level. However, free proxies may be dangerous because they’re sometimes operated by shady companies and could alter your traffic.
-
Like any service, a proxy’s price depends on several factors: proxy type (e.g. residential or datacenter), additional features (e.g. proxy rotation), server infrastructure (e.g. high vs. low uptime), and more. Infatica’s proxies are especially affordable when bought in bulk – just $2 per gigabyte.
-
Proxy providers typically offer different pricing plans for different companies: For a small-scale project, the starter plan will suffice; a large-scale project may require an enterprise-level plan, which allows to buy proxies for cheaper (e.g. just $2 per gigabyte of traffic.)
-
A proxy example would include its address and port. Here’s one proxy example: 127.0.0.1:1080, with 127.0.0.1 as the address and 1080 as the port. Here’s another example: proxy.home.com:9000 – it shows that the proxy address can also be transcribed alphabetically (proxy.home.com.)
