Comment on Decodo (formerly Smartproxy) Review by Lin

Warning from a returning Decodo customer:

FULL STORY (I’m a returning Decodo customer, not a new user):

1. Before downgrading my dedicated ISP plan to 100 IPs, I asked support. The agent (Hugo) wrote: “When downgrading, the bottom of the IP list will be removed. The top-most IPs will remain.” I asked: “So my IPs from port 100-120 will be removed, correct?” He answered: “If you downgrade to the 100 IP plan, yes!”
2. After the downgrade, only 85 of my first 100 IPs were kept, and the order of the IPs on the ports changed, so my port-to-IP mapping was broken. 30+ of my Telegram accounts were banned and many more restricted.
3. As soon as I noticed, I asked for a refund. Support refused and was very dismissive. I even offered to drop the refund if they would just replace all 100 IPs. They refused and would only replace 15.
4. Another agent later admitted: “if specific IPs are scheduled for maintenance, they can also get removed during downgrade… we cannot force the IPs to remain”, and that this “has most likely influenced your situation”. Nobody told me this before I downgraded.
5. When I kept asking what “remain” meant, they accused me of “disrespectful behavior” and blocked my live chat. I never insulted anyone. The live chat button is now gone from my dashboard.
6. Their final written answer: the situation was “resolved” with the IP replacement on October 13 and no further help will be offered.
7. Their own checkout page advertises a “14-day refund option”. I paid on October 13, within 14 days, and was still refused.

I have screenshots of every step and have filed a complaint with the Lithuanian consumer authority (VVTAT).

Thanks for the review, much appreciated!

One small correction – my surname is Philar, rather than Pilar 🙂

Comment on Evomi Review by KUN_Tech

Do not buy their Static Residential plan. It is a complete bait-and-switch scam. I purchased a batch of 20 IPs explicitly advertised as 100% ethical residential proxies, but Evomi delivered a sequential /24 subnet block of cheap Datacenter IPs from Server Mania Inc. (AS6079). When I confronted their support agent Thomas with IP lookup evidence showing they were Corporate/Business datacenter IPs, he admitted they do not guarantee the ASN for this plan, which makes their residential branding an outright fraud. He completely refused to process my crypto refund and instead tried to upsell me to their more expensive Virgin IPs package. Avoid Evomi at all costs if you are running serious workloads and need actual ISP proxies.

The company employs nationalists. I’m from Latvia myself, but they decided that I was from Russia. I even provided support with proof that I’m from Latvia, but they still refused to believe me and permanently banned my account. Please get your heads checked 🙂

Comment on What Is a Cook Group? Sneaker Cook Groups Explained by Yassin

Yassin — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 19:20:58 +0000

I’ve been in the sneaker game since 2009, and cook groups have definitely changed the way people cop. Over the years, I ended up building my own restock monitoring tool, KickTerminal, which helps users detect sneaker restocks across multiple retailers in real time. It’s been interesting to see how the community and the tools have evolved.

Comment on Overview of Social Media Automation Methods by Post SMTP

Post SMTP — Fri, 22 May 2026 09:52:26 +0000

This was a well-balanced overview of social media automation methods because it explained both the efficiency benefits and the importance of keeping engagement authentic. A lot of people think automation is just about scheduling posts, but the article did a good job covering the broader workflow side of things as well. I also liked the emphasis on using automation to support strategy instead of replacing real interaction with audiences. With how fast content moves today, smart automation can definitely help businesses stay consistent without losing their brand voice.

Comment on Dataimpulse Review by huseyin kaymaz

I purchased 50GB of proxy data, and within minutes, 16GB was drained by an unauthorized third party targeting Instagram. I immediately reached out to their support to report this security breach and manually changed my password to secure my account.

Instead of investigating the rogue IP address or helping me recover my stolen data, their support team completely blocked my account, accusing me of a “Terms of Service violation.” To make things worse, they told me I have to wait until Monday’s business hours just to get an explanation, completely freezing the remaining data I paid for.

They literally punished the victim instead of the attacker. When I demanded a refund for this horrible experience, they refused immediate action. Unprofessional support, zero security management, and terrible customer service. Avoid DataImpulse at all costs!

Comment on Building a Stealth Browser: Interview with Rayobyte by Tamas Deak

Wonder why Kameleo is not mentioned as a tool used before and still on the backend of Rayobyte’s scraping API. The masking quality is still better on Kameleo just there were some scaling issues with the lack of docker. This is why we also introduced docker to provide the best masking quality and scalability.
