ProxyField Trust Center

Six checks, and what ProxyField publishes for each, so you can run them on us too:

A 10-minute test after the smallest purchase. Check that the country you pay for is the country you get, then run your own target:

# the exit IP and where it geolocates (a third-party lookup)
curl -x gate.proxyfield.io:7000 -U "<login>-country-de:<password>" https://ipinfo.io/json
# a new IP on the next request, unless you set a sticky session
curl -x gate.proxyfield.io:7000 -U "<login>-country-de:<password>" https://api.ipify.org

The first command should return "country": "DE". Repeat it a few times to see the IP change, then send a few requests to the public pages you need. The Easy Trial's 1 GB covers this test with room to spare.

Paying in crypto. The US Federal Trade Commission says "paying by credit card best protects you and your money in case of a scam", because a card charge can be disputed. It also warns against sellers that insist on crypto, payment apps or wire transfers, because that money is hard to recover (FTC: online shopping). ProxyField takes crypto only, and all purchases are final, so a crypto payment to us cannot be reversed either. Pay the smallest amount first: the smallest payment is $2.95, the price of the 1 GB Easy Trial. Check the IPs, then top up.

Red flags at any provider: "unlimited" plans for a few dollars, no written policies, pressure to buy a large package first, a "today only" price, and anyone who asks for your wallet's private keys or seed phrase.

We don't record the content of your traffic or the pages you visit. We keep only the service data we need to count your traffic, keep the network running and handle abuse reports.

What the gateway sends on: it adds no Via, X-Forwarded-For or Forwarded header to your requests. The headers your client sends go through as they are, and your Proxy-Authorization header is removed before the request reaches the site. We never ask for private keys or seed phrases.

Yes, but it matters less than what the provider records and keeps. A provider "will be subject to the laws of those countries" where it does business, "including laws governing government requests for information", and through legal-assistance treaties it can also get requests from other countries (EFF Surveillance Self-Defense: Choosing the VPN that's right for you, last reviewed July 28, 2026). Any such request can only reach the data the provider holds. So check three places, and one question:

1. Where the company does business. Its laws decide what the provider must keep and hand over.
2. Where its servers and its payment and data partners operate. Their laws apply to what passes through them.
3. Where your data goes. For EU personal data, a transfer outside the EEA needs an adequacy decision or safeguards such as standard contractual clauses (EDPB: international data transfers).
4. The question that decides it: what is stored, and for how long.

EFF adds that "a claim is not a guarantee, so be sure you verify these claims". Its advice for checking a claim, applied to a proxy provider:

For ProxyField, the answer to the 4th point is the data table. No traffic content and no visited pages are recorded, connection metadata is kept for up to 30 days, an account needs only an email address, and crypto purchases need no ID.

What ProxyField keeps, in two lines:

GDPR applies to what you process, not to the IP you use. When your team collects data about people in the EU, you are the controller of that data: you need a legal basis, and you must tell people and keep data to what is necessary. A proxy provider only carries your requests. What a German startup should check in any provider's terms:

1. What the provider records about your traffic, and for how long.
2. Its role: whether it acts for you as a processor for any service and signs an Article 28 data processing agreement (DPA).
3. Where the data goes, and the transfer basis if it leaves the EEA.
4. Who else sees the data (subprocessors), and when it is deleted.
5. When it verifies customers, and what it keeps from a check.

What an Article 28 DPA must contain. Where a provider processes personal data for you, GDPR Article 28(3) requires a contract that sets out the subject matter, duration, nature and purpose of the processing, the type of personal data and the categories of people concerned. It must also bind the processor to:

• act only on your documented instructions, including for transfers outside the EEA;
• keep the people who handle the data under confidentiality;
• apply the security measures of Article 32;
• use another processor (a subprocessor) only with your authorisation and under the same obligations;
• help you answer data subject requests and meet your security and breach duties;
• delete or return the data when the service ends;
• give you the information you need to check compliance, and allow audits.

Source: Regulation (EU) 2016/679, Article 28. Use the list on any provider's DPA, ours included.

ProxyField for a German team: 20.2M+ residential IPs and 190K+ mobile IPs in Germany, 980+ cities, with city targeting, and mobile IPs on the Telekom, Vodafone and O2 networks. Prices start at $1.95/GB, with the same price for country, region and city targeting, and you can begin with the 1 GB Easy Trial for $2.95 (Germany proxies). Under GDPR you stay the controller of what you collect.

No identity verification for ordinary purchases, including crypto: sign up with an email address and buy. We may ask for verification if an account shows signs of abuse or breaks our Acceptable Use Policy, and we verify every reseller before wholesale access. The full policy: proxy KYC at ProxyField.

You may use ProxyField for collecting public web data, price and SEO monitoring, ad verification, testing, market research, managing your own or your clients' social media and marketplace accounts (one IP per account), and similar lawful work. Public pages only, and follow the site's terms.

You may not use it to send spam or open mail ports, spread malware, attack systems (DDoS, password guessing, scanning without permission), commit fraud (including phishing, ad and click fraud, fake accounts or engagement), access data behind logins you are not entitled to, infringe intellectual property or break the law. Some site categories are restricted to protect the network, including financial and government services. Reselling is allowed only through our reseller program.

Read the full acceptable use policy.

Report abuse through [email protected]. Include the date, time and time zone, the source IP, the target and any logs you have. How we handle a report:

1. We acknowledge every report within 1 business day.
2. We check it and trace the IP and time to the account that used it.
3. We ask the account owner to explain; they have 48 hours to reply.
4. We decide and act, usually within 3 business days, and tell you the outcome where we can.

Confirmed abuse leads to a warning, limits on traffic or targets, suspension or closure of the account. Serious cases (malware, fraud, attacks, material exploiting children) are closed at once, and accounts closed for abuse lose their remaining traffic. Where the law requires it, we report illegal activity to the competent authorities. The full process is under reporting abuse.

If a node slows down, traffic automatically moves to the next one. ProxyField runs at a 99.6% success rate, according to our service data, with under 1 s typical response for residential and under 1.5 s for mobile, according to our service data. The pool is clean for Google, checked and segmented.

Pay with crypto: USDT, BTC, ETH or 10 other coins. Prices are in US dollars, and the payment confirmation goes straight to your email. The checkout holds the exchange rate for 35 minutes. Send the exact amount on the network shown at checkout; network fees are paid by the sender. More on paying: buy proxies with crypto.

All purchases are final. In return, your traffic never expires: what you buy stays on your balance until you use it. Per-IP products (dedicated datacenter IPv4 and dedicated ISP) run for 30-day terms that you renew yourself in the dashboard; nothing renews automatically. Not sure how much you need? Start with the Easy Trial: 1 GB for $2.95.
