Storm Proxies Review

Storm Proxies is a New York-based proxy service provider. It provides rotating reverse proxies as well as data center hosted dedicated proxies to users. It also provides multiple exclusive proxies for niche requirements like social media sites, sneakers sites and ticketing sites.

StormProxies has both residential as well as datacenter IPs, a feature that is missing in a lot of proxy service providers generally. The company was founded in 2016 and has been a leading name among users who want high-performing proxies for needs like web scraping or copping the limited edition sneakers or gaining unrestricted access to social media sites.

Services Offered

Storm Proxies offers the following types of proxy services.

Private Dedicated Proxies

For jobs that need fixed or static IP addresses, the best option is to go for dedicated private proxies which only allow a single user to access a proxy.

Private dedicated proxies are all U.S. based proxies and hosted through different data centers located in multiple cities. They are 100% anonymous which means that your IP will never be revealed.

Storm Proxies offers the following plans for private dedicated proxies:

5 private proxies at $10 per month.
10 private proxies at $20 per month.
20 private proxies at $40 per month.
30 private proxies at $54 per month.
50 private proxies at $80 per month.
100 private proxies at $140 per month.
200 private proxies at $240 per month.
400 private proxies at $400 per month.

All private proxies include virgin IPs with multiple subnets and are routed through 3 locations within the U.S.

There are also exclusive proxies offered for social media sites like Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Pinterest and others. The service provider provides specific plans for each social media site.

Ticketing Proxies

These U.S. based private proxies are exclusively meant for accessing ticketing sites like Ticketmaster, Evenue and others. They can also be used for accessing customized bots for ticketing sites.

You can choose from the following plans:

200 private ticketing proxies for $600 per month.
500 private ticketing proxies for $1200 per month.
1000 private ticketing proxies for $2200 per month.

Sneakers Proxies

General dedicated proxies are often not optimized for premium shoe websites like Nike, Adidas, Supreme and others. Therefore, you need to use exclusive sneakers proxies to access these sites.

Storm Proxies offers residential rotating proxies for such sneaker sites as well as sneaker bots like Nike Bot, Another Nike Bot, Supreme Bot and others. All these proxies have locations in the U.S. as well as Europe and can only be used on one computer at a time.

There are 4 packages you can choose from:

20 ports sneaker proxies for $160 per month.
50 ports sneaker proxies for $300 per month.
100 ports sneaker proxies for $550 per month.
200 ports sneaker proxies for $900 per month.

Whichever package you choose, you will have an access to a pool of 40,000 rotating residential IPs.

The same packages can also be chosen in case you are looking for residential rotating proxies for ticketing sites.

Backconnect Rotating Proxies

These type of proxies are usually used when a large number of IPs are needed like in SEO and web scraping or using traffic bots. The proxies keep changing with each new connection or after every 3 or 15 minutes.

The proxies that change with a new HTTP request are a mixed batch of datacenter and residential IPs while the ones that change after 3 and 15 minutes of use are only datacenter IPs.

With every plan under this category, you get access to a pool of over 70,000 reverse IPs. The pricing is based on the number of threads or the number of connections that can be made simultaneously.

There are 3 packages to choose from:

40 threads or 40 simultaneous connections at $39 per month with 1 access IP.
80 threads or 80 simultaneous connection at $ 59 per month with 2 access IP.
150 threads or 150 simultaneous connections at $97 per month with 3 access IP.

While choosing the package, you can choose the location you want. There are three options – USA, EU or worldwide.

Proxy Locations

The private dedicated proxies are all U.S. based. There are 3 locations in the U.S. – Cheyenne, Los Angeles and New York.

While you can choose the broader geography of the proxies, you can’t choose the exact country or the city for the IPs.
