Proxy requirements in 2024. New engine, new product, new location 

The article discusses proxy requirements in 2024, focusing on a new product - residential proxies, and a new location - Kazakhstan.

• Country: 🇰🇿 Kazakhstan;
• City: Almaty;
• Operator: Kazakhtelecom;
• IP Address Pool: Over 35,000 IPs on one port;
• Traffic: Unlimited internet;

The first thing you will notice when working with our residential proxies is the speed:

Agreed, a completely different level of comfort!

However, speed is meaningless without quality. After all, what's the point of having fast proxies if accounts are getting banned?

Next in the article, we will discuss the characteristics of truly high-quality residential proxies.

Open-source (with open source code) Zardaxt project for PoF analysis.

Built on statistics (similar to canvas in browserleaks.com), it attempts to "guess" your operating system based on previously collected network fingerprints. However, no other checker analyzes traffic in such detail.

The project undoubtedly deserves attention, as it can be used in commercial traffic analysis systems. In the article, we will examine it in the context of our new network engine.

Thanks to detailed elaboration (including TTL and etc.), the number of signatures available for selection in the personal account has increased:

• Windows 7, 8
• Windows 10, 11
• Android 
• Linux
• MacOS
• IOS

✅ Choosing the right PoF for the operating system you are connecting through proxies is crucial. This, combined with other technologies, allows for simulating a direct connection to the internet.

⚠️ Note that despite belonging to the same "family" such as Windows, the headers of IP and TCP packets have varying values in certain fields and options depending on the operating system and TCP/IP stack settings used. Some of these field values may also change as the packet travels from the client to the server.

Since the checker is based on statistics, it may sometimes "misfire." For example, the developers recently added Chromium OS (based on Linux, like Android), and the actual Linux Ubuntu Desktop operating system (the most widely used Linux distribution in the world) started being identified as Chromium OS (without a proxy and VPN):

However, with Android (also based on Linux, like Chromium OS), such issues are not observed, and it is successfully identified:

✅ They will probably fix this soon, but nonetheless, we recommend checking on your real operating system without a proxy/VPN before conducting a PoF test. This will help you understand what preset to expect on the proxies:

Only within the scope of our service, for any port, we can create a custom PoF upon request. You send us the PoF (for example, scanned from your working PC without a proxy and VPN) - we make it.

It is also capable of identifying PoF but with much less accuracy. It can distinguish between Windows 7 and Windows 10 but may struggle to differentiate Linux from Android.

⚠️ Pay attention to the "native" DNS provided by the internet service provider and the overall quality of TCP/IP. Towards the end of the week, we will conduct an extensive review of MTU. This topic deserves a separate article.

Why are Local IP and Public IP marked as n/a?

In the new versions of Chrome, WebRTC is completely disabled.

Therefore, Local IP and Public IP are marked as n/a.

✅ We recommend adhering to the standard browser behavior and enabling WebRTC only if the technology is necessary for your work. You can do this by installing the Chrome extension "WebRTC Control"

In the settings, choose "Default public and private interfaces."

Check to ensure that the setting has been applied:

⚠️ Note the Local IP - 192.168.xxx - a home subnet is being used, and the local IP address also changes natively (at the network card level).

✅ You will be able to work effectively with any services that require the use of WebRTC and UDP.

Connecting to the proxy, we obtain the IP address:

Conducting the check:

✅ Anything below 0.9 is considered low risk, and such IPs are suitable for work. Automatic blocks may trigger if the results are within the range of > 0.99 or even > 0.995.
