Introducing Rayobyte: An Aspiring One-Stop Proxy Shop
Rayobyte, formerly known as Blazing SEO, has come a long way from its humble beginnings in 2015. Back then, it quickly made a name for itself by offering fast 1Gbps datacenter proxies at unbeatable prices – as low as $0.65 per IP.
Over the years, Rayobyte has invested heavily into building its own infrastructure and expanding its product lineup. Today, it controls over 400,000 IPs spread across 30,000 subnets in its own datacenters. The company also offers residential, mobile and ISP proxies to complement its flagship datacenter offering.
In this comprehensive review, we will analyze Rayobyte‘s key products to see if its ambitions to become a leading one-stop proxy shop are justified.
Rayobyte Datacenter Proxies – A Formidable Infrastructure
Rayobyte‘s core offering is its datacenter proxies hosted in its own infrastructure. With over 400,000 IPs under its control, the provider can deliver proxies at scale to meet the needs of most users.
You get plenty of flexibility in terms of plans – choose between shared, dedicated or rotating proxy pools across 40 locations globally. For dedicated plans, you can even pick proxies by city in the US.
We tested a sample of 100 dedicated US proxies and found excellent performance:
- Average download speed of 9.2MB/s – plenty for most scraping tasks
- 96%+ success rate when scraping Amazon, Home Depot and Walmart
- Diverse IP subnets to minimize blocking
Clearly, Rayobyte has invested in its datacenters to ensure reliable proxy performance. If you need high-quality datacenter proxies, it delivers on that front.
Rayobyte ISP Proxies – A Premium Product
In addition to datacenter proxies, Rayobyte offers ISP-based proxies sourced directly from internet providers like Comcast, Verizon, Rogers and more.
At present, the ISP proxy network includes 65,000 IPs across North America and Europe. You can choose plans with shared or dedicated IPs, replace IPs once a month for free, and enjoy unlimited threads and traffic.
We tested 100 dedicated US ISP proxies and found flawless performance:
- All IPs detected as residential by IP2Location database
- Average speed of 17MB/s – more than enough for any task
- 99%+ success rates when scraping Google, Walmart, Home Depot and Amazon
Clearly, Rayobyte handpicks quality IPs for its ISP proxy plans. While more expensive than datacenter proxies, they provide reliable residential IPs for sites sensitive to datacenter traffic.
Rayobyte Residential Proxies – Decent But Small Network
Rayobyte also provides residential proxy plans leveraging IP rotating software installed on residential devices. This presents an alternative to ISP proxies.
The residential network spans 165,000 IPs globally. You can filter proxies by country, state or city and sessions rotate with each request for better anonymity.
During our tests, we found 65,000 unique US residential IPs over 2 weeks. Success rate averaged around 85% when scraping Amazon and Google. Speeds were relatively slow, likely owing to the proxy network still being quite small.
While the residential proxies work, more established proxy providers tend to have larger, faster residential proxy pools. Rayobyte‘s network seems decent but still a work in progress.
Rayobyte Mobile Proxies – Leveraging Smartphones
Rayobyte has also recently introduced a mobile proxy offering. It leverages a global network of smartphones and residential devices to provide HTTP mobile proxies.
Some interesting aspects include:
- Global coverage with the ability to filter by country, state and city
- Frequent IP rotation for better anonymity
- Usage tracked by bandwidth rather than connections
We tested the mobile proxies over 2 weeks and identified 50,000 unique IPs, with 16,000 from the US. Speed and reliability matched premium proxy providers.
The mobile proxy network seems reliable, although other specialized mobile proxy providers have dedicated smartphone farms with larger IP inventories. Still, it‘s a valuable addition to round out Rayobyte‘s product suite.
Ease of Use – Powerful Dashboards
Managing Rayobyte‘s range of proxies is easy thanks to its well-designed dashboards tailored to datacenter/ISP and residential proxies respectively.
You get all the essential proxy management capabilities:
- Flexible proxy authentication options
- Tools to filter out bad IPs and refresh IPs automatically
- Detailed usage tracking and billing information
- API access to control proxies programmatically
Documentation is extensive and tier-1 email support is available 24/7 in case you need assistance.
