Smartproxy is a fast-growing proxy service that has been around since 2018, and while the length of its tenure may not sound promising, the offer and capabilities are. The main service revolves around roughly 55 million monthly IPs from its residential proxy offer. There is also a 10 million IP pool derived from phones and other devices on a cellular connection. The company claims that its residential proxies are the fastest on the market, with response speeds of less than 0.6s and a 99.47% success rate. The IP addresses generally come from over 195 locations around the globe, making the IP offering as varied as possible. To round things out, its data centre proxies are IP addresses created in server hubs.
