Terms and definitions

User - an individual who accesses the Resource.

The Resource - the web service located at https://good-proxies.ru.

Cookie - a small data file sent by the web server to your computer. It is used to identify the user, store preferences, collect statistics, and track the session.

Premium access key - a key sent to the user's email immediately after payment. By entering this key, which consists of digits and Latin letters, the user receives access to the Resource.

Service description

The Resource provides users with an information service - access to a list of open IPv4 proxy servers that do not require authorization and are neither owned nor controlled by the Resource. All open IPv4 proxy servers are collected from publicly available Internet sources and are checked and classified with the Resource's software. The service is provided for a fee for personal use at your own risk, on an "as is" and "as available" basis.

Proxy servers are updated continuously. A full check of the entire proxy list takes no longer than 5–10 minutes. The timeout for checking each proxy server is 8 seconds.

To gain full access to the Resource, a user must purchase a Premium access key. The key grants full access for 7, 30, 60, or 180 days. To activate the key, you must log in through the Resource interface. Once activated, the key cannot be paused. The key can be activated within 10 months from the purchase date; after that period, it becomes invalid. Payments for expired keys are non-refundable.

Getting started

To access the API, you must authorize once in the web interface. Within one minute you will receive API access.

The proxy list service is paid. Pricing is available on the home page. After purchasing a key, you will gain entry to the paid section where you can constantly view proxy lists. Log in by entering the key in the top-right corner of the page. Each key has a validity period (from 7 to 180 days). During that time you can use the Resource without unreasonable limits (up to 34,560 requests to the proxy list per day). If you exceed this limit, the key will be blocked until the end of the current server day. You may request proxy lists via the API no more than twice within five seconds (API endpoint: https://api.good-proxies.ru/api). You may retrieve proxy lists from only ten different IP subnets per day in the "a.b.0.0/16" format (for example, 123.123.*.* where "*" can be any number between 0 and 255).

The validity period of the key starts from the moment you log in on the main page with the key or after the first API request. Once the key expires, access to proxy lists is revoked.

To receive proxy lists, you must purchase a Premium access key. Purchase links are available on the home page. Payments are processed through digiseller.market. After buying and receiving the key, log into your account. The account always shows how much time remains before the key expires. Trial keys may have different parameters.

System workflow and proxy sources on this website

The system runs two proxy-harvesting robots that collect and check thousands of public web resources each day to find working proxies. Every proxy quickly undergoes tests for connection speed, country, anonymity level, proxy type, and the ability to pass POST requests, REFERER, and COOKIE. Two test pages sized 961 bytes and 800–1200 bytes are used for verification. All proxies that pass the checks are immediately added to the site's database. The database is updated continuously. Non-working proxies are not added because it is inefficient. Working proxies are automatically re-tested in queue. When a proxy stops working it is automatically removed. This algorithm keeps proxy lists up to date.

The maximum response time for HTTP/S checks is 8 seconds, and up to 8 seconds for SOCKS4/5.

API description

Proxy check timeout - 8 seconds.

You may send up to 2 requests within 5 seconds.

The API returns a proxy list sorted by the ascending date of the last check. The freshest proxies appear at the top of the list.

The API endpoint is https://api.good-proxies.ru/api. Both HTTP and HTTPS requests are supported.

Limit: 34,560 API requests per day and no more than ten IP subnets in the "a.b.0.0/16" format (for example, 123.123.*.* where "*" can be any number from 0 to 255).

Parameter descriptions

key - Premium access key. This parameter is required. Example: key=ACCESS_KEY.

type - Proxy type. Available values: http, https, socks4, socks5. If omitted, proxies of all types are returned. Example: type=http.

anon - Proxy anonymity level. Available values: transparent, anonymous, elite. If omitted, proxies of all anonymity levels are returned. Example: anon=elite.

count - Number of proxies to retrieve. Sets the maximum number of proxies. If you set 0 or leave it empty, the entire available list is returned. Example: count=0.

ping - Proxy response time in milliseconds. Maximum value: 8000. Example: ping=8000.

works - Percentage of successful proxy tests out of total attempts. Allowed values: 0 to 100. Example: works=50 returns proxies with at least 50% successful checks.

time - Returns proxies tested within the specified number of seconds. Example: time=10 returns proxies checked within the last 10 seconds.

country - Country codes for the proxies. Provide a two-letter country code. Example: country=ru.

city - Cities for the proxies. Provide the full city name in Russian; for some locations an English name may be used. Example: city=Париж.

A more detailed API description is available at https://good-proxies.ru/api-docs.

Proxy types

- SOCKS4/SOCKS5 proxies can be used for any TCP/IP connections: HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and others. These proxies work in browsers, download managers, FTP clients, instant messengers, and other applications. SOCKS typically provides an elite level of anonymity, sometimes anonymous.

- SSL proxies never pass through your IP address; they forward requests as-is, providing an elite level of anonymity.

- For SSL/HTTP proxies the anonymity level is determined by the lowest level. If an SSL connection offers elite anonymity but HTTP is transparent, the overall anonymity level is considered transparent.

- HTTP, SSL/HTTP, SSL proxies are mainly used for browsing websites (HTTP and/or HTTPS).

Refunds

Because the proxies provided are open and not controlled by the Resource, and no guaranteed proxy characteristics are promised, users may request a refund for a key only if defects not described by the seller are found. Refunds are granted only if the Resource downtime lasts for half the key's validity period, but at least 24 hours. In all other cases - including the permanent or temporary absence of proxies with specific characteristics (for example, HTTP proxies from Russia that work with both Yandex and Google without captchas) - refunds are not provided.

Refunds are issued minus the full or partial days of Premium access already used.

Refunds through DigiSeller and WebMoney are possible only to a WebMoney Transfer wallet or by crediting the account of a Russian mobile operator, regardless of the initial payment method. If necessary, register with WebMoney Transfer. Additional costs related to currency conversion are not reimbursed. The exception is refunds for purchases made via PayPal; such refunds follow PayPal's user agreement (section 11 "PayPal Buyer Protection Programs").

To request a refund via cardlink.link, visit https://cardlink.link and follow the refund section. Additional costs related to currency conversion or payment system commissions are not reimbursed.

Once a refund is processed, the corresponding Premium key is blocked immediately.
