After creating an account, you'll see various proxy options available. Choose from Residential, Mobile, ISP, Dedicated ISP, Datacenter, or Dedicated Datacenter Proxies, depending on your use case. ### 2. Choose a plan After choosing a proxy type, you'll need to pick a plan that best fits your needs. If you're interested in a free trial to test our proxies, you need to email our support team at , or you can choose a cost-saving subscription right away. ### 3.
