I’m a freelance developer and I need to have safe and localized IPs for testing geo-limited named apps. I have chosen SurferCloud’s proxy/VPN services because they have worked well for my needs. Installation is easy and I like the various IP locations I can choose from to mimic end-users accessing from various countries. It also has great connection speeds for what I use it for (test API’s and scrape the web) and have never seen any unexpected drop-offs or need for throttling. Their pricing is also very competitive against other providers I have tested which means it’s affordable for the solo developer! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Although SurferCloud is more than sufficient for the majority of use cases, I've experienced a slight delay when switching from one IP to another [which slows down the routine testing cycle]. The dashboard itself as a little lackluster and dated compared to the competition; there are no detailed logs or granular usage analytics to quickly diagnose connection issues. Support is not bad, responsiveness, but it can take one day to several days to get technical questions answered, not good for tight deadlines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
