Datacenter Proxy

A datacenter proxy typically uses an exit IP associated with hosting infrastructure. An ASN identifies a network, not the actual user or a universal risk category. Compared with residential or mobile proxies, price, speed and stability depend on the service and route; the category alone guarantees none of them. Destinations may apply their own restrictions.

A hosting ASN can inform classification, but does not determine a universal fraud score. Reputation databases and destination policies differ. Use datacenter exits for permitted tasks such as monitoring, testing or scraping where supported; verify performance and acceptance against the actual destination rather than assuming every hosting address is treated alike.

The configured s4m service uses datacenter proxy exits rather than a residential pool. Authenticated SOCKS5 (1080) and HTTP (3128) use the configured endpoint. Proxy credentials remain required when you choose another available exit. s4m has selectable public exit configurations. Use the endpoint or profile issued for the protocol and location selected in your account. An exit IP can have a prior history. Accounts, cookies and browser signals may still identify a user; changing an address does not guarantee a clean reputation. Related topics: SOCKS5, HTTP, dedicated IP, public list, proxy plans.
