In this guide, we’ll explore the residential provider S Proxy and its technical details. S Proxy is a popular choice at Rampage. It is one of the higher-end providers, offering access to a huge IP pool and great worldwide coverage. It is often favoured as a “premium” provider but available at a less premium price to Rampage Customers. Not to be confused with the price to performance, this is an excellent proxy provider all around, often favoured alongside O Proxy.

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 S Proxy:

Location and Targeting Options

S Proxy supports a variety of precision targeting options as part of your purchase.

Pros and Cons

Pros of S Proxy

At a more mid-price level, S Proxy offers a versatile and well-trusted residential proxy. Its large pool and country coverage targeting help justify its pricing position amongst other more value providers, alongside being a long-time favourite. In addition to this, the offering of further precision targeting lends favour to its more expensive price tag, bolstering its value offerings.

Cons of S Proxy

Despite this, there are some downsides to using S Proxy compared to other providers on the Rampage shelf. Although S Proxy offers a versatile proxy in terms of targeting and geodiversity, other providers offer more features at a similar or cheaper rate.

The more premium price can also make it unsuitable for those who require significant to extreme amounts of bandwidth, whereas others can provide better value at the cost of the overall pool size.
