Private proxies (also called dedicated proxies) provide you with an IP address that’s used by you alone. This helps improve privacy, reduce cross-site tracking, and keep multi-account or QA workflows clean and consistent—when used in accordance with local laws and platform terms. In this guide, you’ll learn what private proxies are, how they work, key advantages over shared or free proxies, and how to choose the right plan.
One IP per client at a time for stable performance and lower block risk.
Fast networks and diverse subnets designed for reliability and uptime.
Use proxies only for lawful, permitted purposes and within platform policies.
Private proxies assign a dedicated IP address to a single client at a time. Unlike shared or free proxies, your traffic isn’t mixed with other users on the same IP, which improves stability, reputation, and control. Private proxies help mask your device IP, reducing linkability across sessions and limiting persistent tracking signals.
Private proxies can be backed by datacenter networks (best for speed and throughput) or residential IPs (sourced with consent through consumer ISPs) for workflows that require higher legitimacy signals—always subject to local laws and third-party terms.
Your device connects to a proxy gateway. The proxy forwards your request to the destination site and returns the response. Websites see the proxy IP, not your device IP. Platforms may still analyze traffic patterns, headers, and velocity, so smart configuration—and following platform policies—is essential for consistent results.

Mask your device IP to reduce cross-site profiling. For stronger privacy, combine with good security hygiene (updated browsers, tracker controls). Proxies are one layer in a broader privacy stack.
Use proxies only for lawful and permitted purposes. Respect website terms, rate limits, and data policies. HighProxies prohibits abusive activity (e.g., spam/outbound port 25). See our FAQs.
Dedicated IPs avoid “noisy neighbor” effects seen on shared/free proxies. Expect more predictable performance and fewer unexpected slowdowns.
Well-configured proxies can cache frequently accessed assets and routes, improving perceived speed and reducing bandwidth for repeat visits. Results vary based on content type, headers, and your application’s caching strategy.
Disclaimer: Use proxies responsibly and only for lawful, permitted purposes. Availability and access vary by location and third-party platform policies.
Using a proxy is generally legal in many regions, but your activities must comply with local laws, website terms, and data-use policies. HighProxies prohibits misuse (e.g., sending spam or abusive traffic).
Private proxies allocate an IP to one client at a time for consistent performance and lower collateral risk. Shared proxies cost less but multiple users share IPs, which can affect reputation and limits.
Properly configured private proxies are designed for stability and speed. Performance depends on network conditions, endpoints, and your workflow configuration.
No. For security and anti-abuse reasons we do not allow outgoing port 25. See our FAQs for details.
