O Proxy Deep Dive
Owen Crisp
Introduction
In this guide, we’ll be looking deeper into the residential provider O Proxy and more about the technical details of the provider. O Proxy is, again, a popular choice at Rampage, being one of the higher-end providers alongside S Proxy, giving access to the most extensive IP pool of all our providers, with quality proxies and great worldwide coverage. Available with Rampage at a mid-range price point, it is often favoured as another “premium” provider.
Please note that due to legal constraints, we are using an alias for this provider and are unable to use their correct name.
Company Overview
Founded in 2015, O Proxy is the oldest provider in the Rampage catalogue, based in Vilnius, Lithuania. O Proxy has the most significant residential pool of all providers under our roof, almost double that at the same price as S Proxy.
IP Availability and Supply
Comprising a 105M+ residential IP pool and spanning 195 countries, O Proxy brings impressive quality and IP diversity to Rampage’s offering. Here’s a list of popular countries with good IP availability:
- United States of America
- China
- Germany
- United Kingdom
- Canada
- Japan
- Australia
All IPs are ethically and transparently sourced through their network of either opt-in peer-to-peer or third-party providers.
Proxy Speed and Performance
We tested each residential provider so that you don't need to. Rampage endeavours to create fair, thorough, and reproducible tests to ensure each provider can be compared against another. Please note, your results may vary based on your individual factors when setting up.
Using a server hosted in a German datacenter, we tested 10,000 rotating proxies across 5 popular locations. These locations were picked to represent popular locations and give global coverage. The locations we used to test all providers were the following:
- United States of America
- United Kingdom
- Canada
- Germany
- Hong Kong
Our testing suite checks the proxy connection against IpInfo to remain as impartial as possible. We use the information collected from the request, along with IP enrichment data from IpInfo to provide a clear picture of the proxy.
In addition to the usual metrics, we have provided the standard deviation of the response times. A smaller standard deviation suggests that the scores are tightly clustered around the mean, indicating greater consistency or precision in the measurements.
Finally, this script also records the number of unique IP addresses per region tested, as this can be used as a judgement for the diversity of the IP pool. Here’s the results from the tests of O Proxy:
Country | Total Tests | Total Successes | Total Failures | Success Percentage | Total Unique IP Addresses | Fastest Speed | Lowest Speed | Average Speed | Standard Deviation |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
United States | 10,000 | 9,744 | 256 | 97.44% | 9,369 | 0.87 seconds | 15.16 seconds | 5.93 seconds | 2.02 seconds |
United Kingdom | 10,000 | 9,811 | 189 | 98.11% | 7,764 | 1.04 seconds | 14.89 seconds | 6.07 seconds | 1.75 seconds |
Canada | 10,000 | 9,757 | 243 | 97.57% | 6,596 | 1.17 seconds | 15.08 seconds | 6.33 seconds | 1.71 seconds |
Germany | 10,000 | 9,857 | 143 | 98.57% | 7,911 | 0.95 seconds | 16.40 seconds | 5.73 seconds | 1.85 seconds |
Hong Kong | 10,000 | 9,677 | 323 | 96.77% | 1,960 | 1.33 seconds | 15.61 seconds | 6.72 seconds | 1.69 seconds |
Finally, we’ve collected the averages across all 5 geo’s:
- Fastest Proxy Speed: 1.33 seconds
- Lowest Proxy Speed: 15.42 seconds
- Average Proxy Speed: 6.21 seconds
- Standard Deviation: 1.89 seconds
- Success Rate: 97.69%
Location and Targeting Options
O Proxy supports a variety of precision targeting options as part of your purchase. You can currently utilise up to 3 different methods to geo-locate your proxies, taking advantage of the 195 countries offered by O Proxy: country, city, and state. Please note that due to the dynamic state of residential proxies, we can not guarantee 24/7 coverage, especially in remote areas. Here are some examples of this targeting and proxy formatting:
Country, with a default static session time: pr.rampageproxies.com:8888:{username}-cc-us-pool-oproxy-sessionid-8734022758-sesstime-30:{password}
City/State, with a default static session time: {username}-cc-us-city-new_york-pool-oproxy-sessionid-12345670-sesstime-30:{password}@pr.rampageproxies.com:8888
Rotation
Our dashboard generates O Proxy in static and rotating varieties from a mix of pre-set country pools. The default session time for static O Proxy proxies is up to 30 minutes; however, due to the dynamic nature of these residential proxies, we cannot guarantee the sessions are active at that time.
Pricing
O Proxy also sits nicely in the mid-range price point of all providers at Rampage. For non-Rampage Retail members, prices start at $6.3 per gigabyte, dropping to $5.1 per gigabyte with a subscription. O Proxy is a well-known, high-quality residential proxy provider, well-trusted by all proxy users and industry-wide. This pricing is significantly lower than that of direct, as much as 30% cheaper than purchasing pay-as-you-go directly from supply.
Here's how O Proxy stacks up pricing wise, compared to the other providers on the dashboard:

Pros and Cons
Pros of O Proxy
As mentioned above, O Proxy has the largest IP pool available at Rampage, making it suitable for any user/use case requiring such IP diversity. It is the same price as S Proxy but offers almost double the IP count. O Proxy offers an impressive diversity of proxies at such a mid range price point.
O Proxy’s vast IP pool makes it a great pairing with its precision targeting capabilities, lending favour to a large number of users and use cases where this can be leveraged; for example in ad verification where precision can be crucial to success.
Cons of O Proxy
Despite this, downsides to O Proxy include that despite offering a large pool and great geo-flexibility, there are other providers on the Rampage dashboard that offer such similar flexibility and a lower buy in. There is an argument that could be seen as a trade off between IP pool size and price, but may limit users with budget constraints.
