I have dived into the world of residential IP proxy providers in order to find the best services out there. Here is my list of top-notch providers for 2020 (updated):

  1. Luminati.io

Most likely the leading proxy network out there with over 72 million IP addresses at the time. Highly impacted by Hola VPN service — in exchange for your residential IP address being added to their P2P server pool, you can use the product for free. Considering the available numerous connections at the time — you get great speed compared to other services. The downside of the brand here is the price. The lowest subscription price per month is 500$, which might be too high for a single consumer.

2. GeoSurf.com

GeoSurf takes less than 5 minutes to integrate and a couple of clicks to use. Our proxy supports the IP:port method with IP whitelist, the username-password solution, and session persistence with an API. Your bots will never be blocked, because our IPs and proxy servers are undetectable. Scrape the internet in total freedom and anonymity with no concerns of being blocked. Pool of 2.5 Million IP addresses proxy locations in every country and +1,700 cities around the world

3. LuxProxy.com

Many people are restricted when registering a seller account at Amazon, eBay … We will solve this problem for you. Our infrastructure is unique, battle-tested, and carefully monitored by supervisors 24/7. There is no other proxy provider even close to operating at the same level and standards that we do.

4. NetNut.io

The majority of the provided IP addresses are from a data center with the addition of residential ones. The service seems to be more successful with the usage of big-scale procedures. The flexible sub-users management makes the NetNut service outstanding and different from the others. However, the higher ban rate knocks it down from the top of the list. The pricing plans and additional features earn it a spot in the top 2020 proxy providers list.

5. OxyLabs.io

Oxylabs has more than 30 million residential IPs spread all over the world. This is why many people have heard of them.

But, Oxylabs also offers rotating proxies along with datacenter proxy solutions. When compared to other datacenter proxy providers, Oxylabs places special emphasis on providing working proxies for data crawling, data mining, web scraping, market research, and ad verification.

On top of that, Oxylabs offers a unique service called Real-Time Crawler, which is a web-based search engine and eCommerce scraper.

This service is actually a cloud-based Scrapebox. However, there is no hassle of VPS and proxy management. This is not a proxy feature, but it can save quite a lot of time for people looking to data-mine search engines or eCommerce websites.

If your main priority is to find a great solution for web scraping, Oxylabs can be a good fit. It will provide you with a huge pool of IPs.
