You will agree with me when I say scraping data from the Internet and social media automation is not possible without a proxy service. And when it comes to proxy service provision, private proxies are one of the best options for beginners.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/span>What is a\u00a0private proxy?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

A private proxy is a proxy that only you have access to and is not shared with anybody else, unlike a shared proxy<\/a> which, as you can guess, is shared between two or more people. They are made for use by one person and are usually more reliable and secure than shared proxies.<\/p>\n

You should always stick to private proxies when you can afford it, unless if you have a not so common use for the proxy, where you can be certain whomever you\u2019re sharing it with won\u2019t be using it for the same purpose.<\/p>\n

Generally, private proxies are premium proxies and as such, they are not free. However, regardless of their subscription price, some have been known to provide better security and anonymity, as well as better protection against IP leakage.<\/p>\n

The 10 private proxies that have been found worthy in this regard are discussed below.<\/p>\n\n

<\/span>1. Luminati<\/strong><\/a> (Now Brightdata)<\/span><\/h2>\n

Luminati is the world\u2019s largest proxy network in the world with over 72 million IP addresses distributed across all the countries in the world. They provide one of the fastest residential dedicated IP addresses in the world. With a low failure rate of less than 1%, Luminati is one of the best private proxies in the market. Because of their huge IP addresses and rotation, they hardly get blocked by websites. Luminati proxy services cut across the provision of datacenter proxies, residential proxies, and mobile proxies.<\/p>\n

<\/span>> Private Datacenter Proxies<\/span><\/h4>\n

You can target locations by either their ASN numbers, cities, and even by country names. Unlike many other datacenter proxy service providers that rotate IP by a specified time, you are in total control in the case of Luminati when it comes to IP rotation. They are quite good and provides a 7 days free trial for those that want to test the effectiveness of their service. They provide good live support for their customers.<\/p>\n

However, unlike many other premium companies, Luminati does not provide a refund for any payment made regardless of if you are OK with the service or not. Their services can be said to be a pricey dashboard not intuitive enough for first-time users.<\/p>\n

<\/span>> Private residential IP Proxies<\/span><\/h4>\n

Also, Luminati provider the private static residential IPs also, but this type of proxies is much expensive than datacenter proxies.<\/p>\n
