Proxies for web scraping

Scrape at scale without getting your origin server blocked. Authenticated SOCKS5/HTTP proxies hide your real IP and keep your crawlers running.

Get started

Why s4m for this

Hide your crawler

Targets see the exit IP, never your server — so a block never touches your infrastructure.

Usage control

Per-account and per-IP limits keep runaway jobs from burning your quota.

Username/password authentication

Configure s4m SOCKS5 or HTTP access with the credentials from your account.

Set it up in 3 steps

Get proxy credentials

Create an account and grab your SOCKS5/HTTP username and password from the dashboard.

Point your tool at s4m

Use the endpoint below with your credentials — rotate or stick to one session as needed.

Run at scale

Set per-account and per-IP usage limits so your jobs never blow the budget.

Copy-paste example

bash

# Python (requests)
import requests
proxies = {
  "http":  "socks5://USER:[email protected]:1080",
  "https": "socks5://USER:[email protected]:1080",
}
r = requests.get("https://api.ipify.org", proxies=proxies, timeout=15)
print(r.text)  # the exit IP, not yours

FAQ

Questions, answered

Do you support SOCKS5 and HTTP?

s4m SOCKS5 (1080) and HTTP (3128) require username/password authentication. An IP allowlist on a destination is a separate policy and does not replace these credentials.

Can I rotate IPs?

You control sessions from the dashboard. Sticky sessions are supported for long jobs.

Will scraping get my main server banned?

No — that's the point. Targets only ever see the s4m exit, never your origin.
