Without them, websites will often block or rate-limit your IP address due to too many requests coming from a single source. Proxies prevent this by routing your traffic through different IPs—giving you more reach, less bans, and better overall performance. A small investment in proxies can make a massive difference in your success rate. In fact, we highly recommend mixing proxies from multiple providers to create a more diverse and resilient pool. *** ### 🧠 Understanding Proxy Types **Datacenter / ISP Proxies** * 💸 Most affordable * ⚡ Great for speed and high thread count bots * ❗ Can get blocked on more protected sites **Residential Proxies** * 📶 Routes traffic through real household IPs * 💵 More expensive, usually billed per GB * ✅ Bypasses a lot of common bans, especially if on cleaner subnets **Mobile Proxies** * 📱 Reroutes through actual mobile networks * 🚫 Harder to detect or block * 💰 Premium pricing, not offered by all providers *** ### 🏢 Where to Buy Proxies You should aim to have at least **500–1000 unique proxies** for optimal performance. Always prioritize **USA-based proxies** unless otherwise specified. > 💡 Some providers offer **discount codes** via their Discords. Always check! *** #### ✅ Recommended: Webshare Proxies * 🔥 Very popular and widely used * 💸 Affordable and fast * 🧠 Tip: Their pricing is strange—251 proxies cost less than 250 due to discount tiers. Always try adding one more! *** #### 🤝 Glowie Partnered Proxy Providers All companies listed below are **official Glowie partners**. These are trusted options we’ve tested internally and recommend to users: * **XYZ Proxies** * **Hype Proxies** * **Stella Proxies** * **ProxyHeaven** * **Ping Proxies** While each has its own strengths, all are solid performers. Feel free to test a few and see what works best with your setup. *** ### 📥 Importing Your Proxies into Glowie After purchase, your proxy provider should give you the ability to download your proxy list—usually in a `.txt` format. Before importing: * ✅ Make sure your proxies are formatted like this: ``` ip:port:username:password ``` * ✅ In Glowie, toggle **Proxy? = On** * ✅ Then import your proxy list via the file browser Once imported, Glowie will route all network traffic through your proxies. You're now good to go. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://glowie-app.gitbook.io/glowie-docs/resources/proxies.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
