About

I got into analytics and data work back in 2006 and started digging into the field. Since 2011, my focus has been on scraping and proxy-based data collection. In 2019, I founded PapaProxy.net: we supply mid-to-large proxy volumes to small and mid-size teams and keep prices below market — because we invest in infrastructure, not marketing. I write about building scraping systems the right way technically, continuously improving them, and getting stable results without blowing up your budget.

PapaProxy - Smart distributed network load

We have smart network load balancing, so we can significantly reduce the cost of IP for each customer while maintaining the high speed of our proxy network. The client pays lower, but gets the quality of individual proxies.
