Proxy Tester by ScrapeOps

Benchmark proxies for reliable, target-specific scraping

What it does

ScrapeOps Proxy Tester is a technical benchmarking platform for developers, scraping teams, data providers, SaaS companies, and AI agents selecting proxy infrastructure. Submit a target URL to test 20+ residential, datacenter, mobile, Proxy API, and unblocker configurations. It measures real-world success rate, latency, reliability, bandwidth, and estimated cost, then generates a use-case-specific ranking instead of relying on generic provider claims.

Compare 20+ Proxy API, Residential, Datacenter and Unblocker proxy providers side by side to find the proxy with best performance at the lowest price.

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
