What ProxyMesh is
ProxyMesh is a cloud service offering rotating HTTP proxies for web scraping, intended to help avoid IP bans and rate limits. Its 17 main proxy networks each use 10 outgoing IPs that rotate every 12 hours, with schedules staggered by location. The listed network locations span seven US locations and the UK, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Japan, Singapore, and Australia. HTTP proxies can relay HTTPS/SSL connections through CONNECT; no software download or VPN is required. Authentication options include IP and domain authentication, custom headers for controlling IP addresses, and two-factor authentication. Every plan includes an open proxy server. ProxyMesh 50 and higher add options for a world proxy with 25,000 static IPs or a US ISP proxy with 10 residential and mobile IPs rotating daily. The dashboard displays bandwidth usage and an estimated next bill, and supports monthly and total usage limits. Plans start at $10 a month; included bandwidth, locations, daily IP addresses, overage rates, and sub-account allowances differ by plan. ProxyMesh does not offer a free trial, though new customers have a 30-day money-back guarantee.
