LunaProxy Is Gone: What Happened and What to Use

If you came here to compare LunaProxy's pricing, the comparison is moot: **the service stopped operating on 28 January 2026** and its domain no longer resolves. Google's Threat Intelligence Group took legal action against IPIDEA — the Chinese network LunaProxy resold — after finding it had been used to run major botnets. LunaProxy was one of more than ten brands fronting the same network. This covers what happened, what it means if you had a balance with them, and the vetting that would have flagged the risk beforehand — questions worth putting to any proxy provider, us included.

How to Test Your Proxies

Most proxy testing stops at "does it connect", which tells you almost nothing. A proxy can connect perfectly and still be useless for your job. The four things worth measuring are connectivity, geolocation accuracy, leaks, and success rate on your actual target — and the last one matters more than the other three combined. This guide gives you runnable commands for each, a script that tests a whole list concurrently, and the reason free proxy checker sites cannot answer the question you care about.

Axios vs Fetch

One difference matters more than all the others combined: fetch does not reject on HTTP errors. A 404 or a 500 resolves successfully and your code carries on. Everything else — bundle size, syntax, interceptors — is preference. That one is a bug generator, and it is documented behaviour rather than a quirk. This guide covers what each tool actually does per its own documentation, the boilerplate you write to make fetch behave, and the proxy gap in Node that catches people out.

Best Instagram Proxies in 2026

Instagram is one of the harder targets in this business, and the proxy type you choose matters more here than almost anywhere else — datacenter addresses are close to useless. But a large share of people shopping for Instagram proxies are trying to do something Instagram publishes an official API for, which is supported, documented and carries no ban risk at all. This guide covers the official route first, then which proxy type genuinely works and why, what the whole setup costs, and the things no proxy fixes.

Best Proxy Browser Extensions in 2026

The proxy extension recommended in almost every list on this subject is no longer maintained and was disabled in Chrome over the Manifest V3 migration. What replaced it is a scattering of forks with near-identical names, at least one of which describes itself as fake — which makes picking one a security decision rather than a feature comparison. This guide covers what actually happened, which successors are real, the permission that lets any of them redirect all your browsing, and when a browser extension is the wrong layer entirely.

curl vs wget

The shortest honest answer: curl behaves like cat and wget behaves like cp. One writes to your screen, the other writes a file. Almost everything else follows from that — including why wget follows redirects when curl does not, and why only one of them can mirror a whole site. This guide works from the comparison curl's own maintainer publishes, which is unusually fair about what the other tool does better, and adds the proxy differences that matter if you route either through one.

Ignore SSL Certificate Errors with curl

The answer is curl -k, and it takes one second. The reason you should read further is that -k does not fix anything — it switches off the check that noticed the problem. Most certificate errors have a specific, identifiable cause, and most of them have a fix that takes about the same effort as typing -k while leaving verification intact. This guide covers what the flag actually disables, how to diagnose the underlying cause, the fixes in order of preference, and the narrow set of cases where ignoring the error is genuinely reasonable.

Best Proxy Client Software in 2026

Proxy client software exists to solve one specific problem: forcing an application that has no proxy setting to route through a proxy anyway. If your application does have a proxy setting, or you are writing code, you almost certainly need none of these tools — and that covers most people who go looking for one. This guide covers the four layers you can apply a proxy at, the tools that operate at each, their documented limitations, and the DNS leak that survives nearly all of them.

Antidetect Browsers: Is It Worth It in 2026?

Antidetect browsers run many isolated browser profiles on one machine, each presenting a different device, so accounts do not appear to share hardware. Comparing them on "profiles included" is the standard approach and it is broken — at least one serious vendor does not price on profile count at all, and its free plan includes a hundred of them. This guide compares the main tools on pricing from their own live pages, explains what actually separates good fingerprinting from bad, and sets out plainly what none of them can do.

Best Bing Rank Tracking Tools

Microsoft retired the Bing Search APIs on 11 August 2025, which quietly removed the official route to Bing results and left every rank tracker relying on scraping. Meanwhile the free Bing Webmaster Tools API still reports your real average position from actual impressions — more accurate than any scraper, and almost nobody uses it. This guide covers what changed, what the free option gives you, what the paid tools cost for Bing specifically, and the honest case for not tracking Bing at all.

4G vs 5G Explained

The headline gap between 4G and 5G is 1 Gbit/s against 20 Gbit/s, and both figures are ceilings defined under ideal conditions rather than anything you will see on a phone. The changes that matter in practice are latency, connection density and how the network behaves under load — none of which fit neatly into a marketing comparison. This guide works from the actual ITU requirement documents for both generations, explains why real-world figures look nothing like them, and covers what the difference does and does not mean for mobile proxies.

Best Residential Proxy Providers in 2026

Residential proxy pricing runs from under a dollar to seven dollars a gigabyte for what is described as the same product, which tells you the headline rate is not measuring what you think. The number that decides your bill is cost per successful request, not cost per gigabyte — and a failed request costs bandwidth exactly like a successful one. This guide compares the main providers on pricing taken from their own live pages, explains the two structural traps nobody puts in comparison tables, and sets out the test that settles it in an afternoon.

Send a GET Request with curl

A GET request in curl is the default, which means the shortest correct command is just curl followed by a URL. Everything else is refinement. The refinements are where the mistakes live: -X GET that quietly breaks redirects, query strings mangled by the shell, and a proxy setting that leaks your DNS lookups without telling you. This guide covers the working commands, what each flag actually does according to curl's own documentation, and the handful of traps that cost people afternoons.

Hidemium: Is It Worth It in 2026?

Hidemium is an antidetect browser: it runs many isolated browser profiles, each with its own fingerprint and its own proxy, so accounts do not appear to share a device. The part most reviews skip is that the browser is only half the setup. The other half is proxies, and the two have to agree — which changes the real monthly cost considerably. This guide covers what Hidemium does according to its own documentation, verified pricing for its competitors, the full cost of running it properly, and the cases where an antidetect browser will not save you.

What Is Nebula Proxy?

Nebula Proxy is an open-source web proxy — a website that loads other websites for you, most often used to get past network filters at school or work. It is not a product you buy, not a VPN, and not the same thing as Slack's Nebula overlay network, despite the shared name confusing search results badly. This guide explains what Nebula actually is, how the service-worker proxying underneath it works, what it genuinely hides and what it does not, and the situations where it is the wrong tool entirely.

Best Rank Tracking APIs

A rank tracking API gives you search engine results as structured data, on demand, without you having to fight bot detection yourself. The catch is that the same workload can cost $27 a month or $725 a month depending purely on which provider you pick — and the headline prices do not make that obvious. This guide covers the two very different products both sold as "rank tracking APIs", verified per-1,000 pricing from official pages, a worked cost model for a realistic keyword set, and the case where you should not buy one at all.

Best Datacenter Proxy Providers in 2026

Datacenter proxies are the cheap, fast option — often five to ten times less than residential, and noticeably quicker. The catch is that they are identifiable as datacenter addresses, which decides whether they work at all on a given target. This guide covers the billing model split nobody talks about (per-IP vs per-GB, which changes cost by an order of magnitude depending on your usage shape), how the main providers compare, and the test that tells you in ten minutes whether you need residential.

How Sites Reveal Your Location

Websites have at least seven independent ways to work out where you are, and they range from country-level guessing to a reading accurate within a few metres. An IP lookup is only the first. Your timezone, language settings, Wi-Fi networks, and browsing behaviour all leak location too — and most of them survive a VPN untouched. This guide covers each method, how accurate it really is, and exactly which ones a proxy defeats.

What Is GoLogin?

GoLogin is an antidetect browser — it runs many isolated browser profiles, each with its own fingerprint, so sites treat them as separate people on separate machines. That only works if each profile also has its own IP address. A hundred unique fingerprints arriving from one connection is a pattern, not a disguise. This guide covers how fingerprinting works, what GoLogin does about it, why the proxy half matters as much as the browser half, and when you should skip all of it.

Is Janitor AI Safe?

"Is Janitor AI safe" is really four separate questions, and mixing them up is how people end up with the wrong protection. Who can read your conversations? Who can see that you visited? Where does the text actually go when you connect your own model? And does a proxy help with any of it? This guide separates the four, and is specific about which one a proxy solves — because it is only one of them.

Best YouTube Proxies in 2026

YouTube serves a different page to almost every visitor — different trending shelf, different ads, different availability. That variability is why teams doing ad verification, market research, localization QA, and public metadata collection reach for proxies. This guide ranks six residential proxy providers — Geonode, Bright Data, Oxylabs, Decodo, Smartproxy, and IPRoyal — on entry price, price at volume, pool size, and minimum spend, with every figure linked to the provider's own pricing page. Entry rates span $0.79 to $7.00 per GB for the same category of product. Here is what that difference buys.
