Introduction: Q1 2026, Where Speed Met Control
What should the ideal mobile proxy infrastructure look like in 2026? Fast, transparent, predictable, and most importantly, tailored to specific tasks. In the first quarter, we focused on making connections simpler, analytics more detailed, geography broader, and tools clearer and closer to everyday scenarios. The result? A quarter where speed met control, and our product became not just more powerful but also more user-friendly and reliable for you. Let’s break down what happened, what changed, and how to extract maximum benefit today.

Context: Why This Matters to the Market and Why Now
The automation market in 2026 is maturing rapidly. Demands are shifting from "give me IPs today" to "provide predictability, metrics, and manageability tomorrow." The more complex the tasks related to analytics, advertising, content checks, working with marketplaces, and multi-threaded data collection, the higher the cost of a simple session loss, latency spikes, or unexplained deviation. In response, we have strengthened control at every step: connection, configuration, monitoring, reporting, and planning. Our goal is to make sure any task can be solved at the first attempt, without a lottery. And that time savings are directly felt in your team's daily operations.
Details of the Updates: What We Did and How It Works
1. Geography and Operators
We expanded our presence by adding new points in EMEA, LATAM, and APAC countries, increasing IP density in major cities and areas with growing demand, and enhancing operator diversity. This gives you greater flexibility in choices and stability in traffic distribution during peak hours, as well as better access to desired cities for targeted scenarios.
2. API v2
The new API v2 includes: session management and IP pinning, flexible rotation with TTL parameters and delayed tasks, filtering by country, city, and operator, connection metrics per key, event webhooks (session starts/stops, rotation, errors), and expanded roles and scopes for keys (read-only, rotation, billing, metrics). We have also improved error handling and standardized response codes to enhance integration predictability.
3. Mobile Proxy Manager Extension
This lightweight browser extension allows users to create profiles, quickly switch countries and operators, manage rotation with one click, pin IPs within a time slot, and view latency to the nearest node. For users of anti-detect browsers and multi-account operations, this saves dozens of clicks daily and reduces the likelihood of human error during switches.
4. Proxy Calculator
The new calculator helps estimate: the number of concurrent streams, rotation frequency considering task tolerance, projected ownership costs depending on selected parameters, and the impact of settings on session stability. It is particularly useful before scaling; you can see the justified configuration before purchase and avoid unnecessary expenses.
5. Monitoring and Transparency
We have added public availability statuses, aggregated SLA metrics, a latency map by region, and alert tools. You can subscribe to notifications to respond promptly to rare fluctuations in specific regions or with specific operators, saving minutes in critical moments.
6. Free Tools
- IP Checker
- DNS Leak Test
- Proxy Checker
- Latency Map
- Browser Fingerprint Generator
These utilities help quickly validate the environment, test configurations, and train teams on standardized checks.
Geography: New Countries, More Cities, Higher Density
In the first quarter, we expanded both horizontally and vertically. With the expansion to 53+ countries and an increase in the number of cities with priority IP density, you gain freedom in location choice for nuanced tasks. For example, you can build scenarios at the level of a specific city or operator, considering user distribution, local connection artifacts, and peak hour characteristics. It is also important that increasing operator diversity positively affects resilience to overloads. During traffic surges, routes are better balanced, and average latency becomes more predictable. Combined with the latency map, this allows for planning key operations in intervals with minimal network risks.
API v2: Sessions, Rotation, Metrics, and Webhooks
With API v2, we focused primarily on three things: management flexibility, observability, and security. You can fine-tune sessions, pin IPs for set intervals, manage rotation by schedule or manually, and collect metrics by keys and projects. Webhooks eliminate polling: you receive events exactly when needed. New scopes for API keys allow for a secure access model for large teams: some with read-only access, some with rotation rights, and some seeing billing and reports. This approach minimizes unnecessary risks and aligns with mature data and budget management.
Mobile Proxy Manager Extension: One Extension—Dozens of Saved Minutes
Anyone who switches countries, operators, and sessions daily knows how easy it is to make a mistake in haste. The browser extension solves this with an intuitive interface: profiles, presets, rotation timers, quick IP pinning, and instant tunnel switching. Additionally, basic metrics are available: current latency, session TTL, and overload hints for regions. When used with anti-detect browsers or account managers, the extension helps standardize routines for the whole team. The result? More stable automation wallets and fewer inquiries about "why it broke."
Proxy Calculator: Calculate Load to the Penny and Second
The proxy calculator is not just arithmetic. It reflects practical usage: it considers the number of streams, acceptable session breaks, required rotation frequency, and task duration. As a result, you can see the range within which your project will be both fast and economical. If you're growing and want to forecast your budget for the quarter—the tool will show the impact of scenarios on the final cost. This reduces uncertainty and helps you make informed decisions.
Monitoring and Latency Map: See Issues Before You Feel Them
The new monitoring tool is a transparent showcase of the current state. Availability by region, latency map, SLA indicators, and history—all in one place. By setting up alerts, you'll instantly be informed about rare deviations, allowing you to shift heavy operations to a more favorable window. Combined with the calculator and API metrics, a complete observability framework forms: from idea to result, without black boxes and guessing.
