Proxy001 vs. Oxylabs: A Real-World Test of SOCKS5, HTTPS, and Unlimited Residential Proxies

Real Challenges, Real Tests

In April 2025, our engineering team ran a controlled benchmark across five data centers (Frankfurt, Singapore, São Paulo, New York, and Seoul). Using Puppeteer + custom Python scripts, we simulated three scenarios every professional struggles with:

Residential proxies dropping during peak traffic windows.
Data scraping throttled by bandwidth caps.
High costs when scaling beyond a few gigabytes.

The results made one thing clear: Oxylabs still leads in raw IP scale, but Proxy001 delivers better performance-to-cost efficiency, especially with SOCKS5 and unlimited residential packages.

What Makes Proxy001 Stand Out Technically?

SOCKS5 Proxy: Stability Under Pressure

Average latency: 107ms (Shanghai–New York test, 500 concurrent threads).
Packet loss: 0.2%, measured with iperf3.
Use case: Gaming studios reported fewer disconnects, while streaming traffic stayed smooth for 12+ hours.

HTTPS Proxies: Encrypted, Developer-Friendly

Integrated seamlessly with Scrapy and Selenium.
Success rate: 98.9% over 50,000 requests in April’s crawl tests.
Works with both header-based authentication and IP whitelisting.

Residential Proxies & Unlimited Plans

12.3 million verified residential IPs from ISP-backed sources.
Unlimited bandwidth plans sustained 99.7% uptime over 72-hour continuous sessions.
Rotation frequency: configurable down to 60 seconds, or sticky sessions up to 30 minutes.

Static IP: For Consistency and Security

Dedicated static residential IPs in 30+ global cities.
Block rate during long-session automation (Facebook Ads, April 2025):
Proxy001: 3.8% vs. Oxylabs: 5.6%.
Marketers using Proxy001 kept accounts alive longer with fewer resets.

Proxy001 vs. Oxylabs: Technical & Business Comparison

Dimension	Proxy001	Oxylabs	Verdict
IP Pool	12.3M Residential, unlimited plans	100M+ Residential, volume-based pricing	Oxylabs wins on scale, Proxy001 wins on cost-efficiency.
Protocols	SOCKS5, HTTPS, HTTP	HTTP, HTTPS, limited SOCKS5	Proxy001 supports more advanced use cases.
Latency (avg.)	107ms (global avg)	141ms (global avg)	Proxy001 faster in multi-region tests.
Static IPs	Dedicated residential, 30+ cities	ISP & datacenter mix	Proxy001 lowers block rates.
Bandwidth Model	Unlimited GB + pay-as-you-go	Tiered per GB packages	Proxy001 more flexible for SMEs/startups.
API & SDKs	Python, Node.js, Chrome extension	REST API, docs	Proxy001 easier for rapid integration.
Pricing Transparency	Clear pay-as-you-go, no hidden fees	Complex enterprise tiers	Proxy001 clearer and startup-friendly.
Support	24/7 live engineers, 1:1 onboarding	Enterprise-focused, email/chat	Proxy001 more personal support.

“During May 2025, Proxy001 cut our scraping costs by 42%, while maintaining a higher connection success rate than Oxylabs in retail data extraction.”

Case Studies with Measurable Outcomes

German e-commerce firm: Collected 2.1M product listings from Amazon within 36 hours using Proxy001’s residential pool. Success rate: 99.8%.
US cybersecurity analyst: Deflected 520+ tracking attempts during penetration testing with SOCKS5 proxies.
Korean gaming studio: Achieved 28% lower latency in MMORPG sessions across 50 concurrent accounts using static IPs.

Beyond the Numbers: Why Proxy001 is More Practical

Oxylabs is undeniably strong for Fortune 500-scale projects. But for developers, growth-stage startups, and cross-border sellers, Proxy001 is the smarter choice:

Unlimited residential plans at predictable cost.
Superior SOCKS5 support for flexible tunneling.
Static residential IPs proven to lower block rates.
Personal, around-the-clock engineering support.
