Rayobyte Review
A one-stop proxy shop.
If you’re looking for proxy servers, Rayobyte has something to offer for everyone. The provider owns a large stock of server-based proxies, and its rotating proxy pools may look like a bargain, especially when their traffic never expires.
Rayobyte tries to further sway your feelings by flaunting its American roots and positioning as an ethical proxy partner. Should you fall for it? We tested Rayobyte’s proxy networks to see how it compares to big shots like Bright Data and Oxylabs.

Three-Minute Human Summary
- Rayobyte sells all types of proxy servers in static or rotating formats, as well as several web scraping tools. The provider sources at least some of the IPs in-house.
- The residential proxy network is competitive in features (it includes combinable city + ASN filters), decently large, but slower than alternatives. On the bright side, it costs less than most, and the traffic never expires.
- The datacenter and ISP proxy networks support popular Western locations with city targeting in the US and hardly any limitations. Due to very broad plans, their pricing can be a hit or miss; in general, prepare to overpay. The rotating datacenter proxies are an exception – they’re very affordable.
- Rayobyte’s mobile proxy network is interesting mostly for its cheap rates. Otherwise, it’s hard to recommend: you’ll find good coverage in only a few locations, and the infrastructure performance was really sub-par.
- The user experience is disjointed. Byteful has two dashboards that require creating different accounts. The documentation is messy and hard to navigate.
- Overall, we consider Byteful to be a decent but also flawed pick. Rotating proxy networks are probably its strongest products for now, largely thanks to great rates coupled with long lasting traffic.

Rayobyte is a US-based proxy provider established in 2015. It belongs to the Sprious group, which offers web scraping, data intelligence, and hosting services.
Rayobyte’s main product usd to be dedicated datacenter proxies. Since 2025, however, residential proxies have displaced them, bringing Rayobyte seven figures of annual revenue. They are and will be the company’s focus going forward. Other than proxies, the provider offers several web scraping tools.
Rayobyte was initially known as Blazing SEO. True to its name, the company started out targeting search engine marketers. Back in 2015, it had already laid out many of the building blocks that made the company successful. The IPs were on fast 1 Gbps lines; you could get them delivered and replaced nearly instantly; and they cost well below what people expected to pay for dedicated proxies – from $1.2 to as little as $0.65 per IP.
By 2022, Rayobyte had scaled enough to call itself the “largest American proxy provider”. The company put a lot of effort into highlighting openness and ethicality (you can read Neil’s opinion piece on ethicality here or watch our interview here). Rayobyte is also open about its residential proxy sourcing practices: they include the bandwidth-sharing app Cashraven and an SDK, with the rest likely being resold.
After switching focus to small entry-level clients in 2024, Rayobyte once again turned to businesses just a year later. This didn’t have much impact on its products, which are easy to access and affordable – at least when it comes to the rotating proxy pools.
Rayobyte Proxy Networks
Rayobyte sells all four major types of proxy servers in multiple formats: datacenter, ISP (static residential), residential, and mobile proxies. Use the tabs to learn about their features, pricing, and performance in more detail.
🏠 Residential Proxies
Rayobyte sources at least some of its residential proxies in-house. There’s a lot of emphasis on ethics with this particular service, meaning that the number of supported use cases may be limited.
- Advertised pool: 40M IPs
- Countries: 100+ with state & city targeting
- Rotation: Every request, up to 60 min, strict sessions
- Starts from: $4 for 1 GB. Scaling pay as you go
- Advertised proxy pool: 40 million IPs
- Countries: 150+
- Integration method: Gateway address (gateway in East Coast US)
- Filtering
- Random: ✅
- Country: ✅
- City: ✅
- ASN/ISP: ✅
- Other: State
- Rotation
- Every request: ✅
- Sticky sessions: ✅ (1-60 min)
- Session behavior: New IP after disconnect or strict sessions
- Protocols
- HTTP: ✅
- HTTPS: ❌
- SOCKS5: ✅ (TCP only)
- Authentication
- Credentials: ✅
- IP whitelist: ✅
- Sub-users: ✅
- Concurrency: Unlimited threads & ports
- Traffic: Plan based
Rayobyte advertises to control a decent number of residential IPs. Of course, these are marketing figures, which rarely change and don’t accurately represent the day-to-day pool.
In any case, the network covers most countries around the world. You can select individual countries or go deeper and filter by state or city – or dive deeper still and specify an ASN or ZIP code. Rayobyte lets you combine filters together freely.
Rayobyte’s residential proxies integrate using a backconnect gateway address. We don’t know where the gateways are located, but it looks like the main entry is in Los Angeles.
By default, the residential proxies rotate with every connection request. It’s possible to establish sticky sessions that can last up to 60 mins (you can specify the duration in the dashboard).
With a session, Rayobyte rotates the IP once the time limit passes or a request fails. If you’d prefer a different behavior, the system lets you keep the IP even if a request fails by adding a special parameter.
The residential proxies have limited protocol support, which includes SOCKS5 but not UDP.
- Model: PAYG, subscription (enterprise customers)
- Format: Traffic
- Modifiers: ❌
- Top-ups: ✅ (manual or automated)
- Starting price: $3.50 for 1 GB
- Trial: 50 MB
Rayobyte’s residential proxies mainly use the pay-as-you-go pricing model: you buy as much traffic as you need, and it stays there until used. Getting more at once reduces the rate from the initial $3.5 to $0.90/GB and even less.
Compared to other providers, Rayobyte pricing starts off very competitive, and it remains below similar providers until large levels of scale.
Standardized pricing comparison
We last tested Rayobyte’s residential proxies in April 2026, for our annual proxy market report.
Pool size & composition
* IP2Location database, Usage type data point (ISP, ISP/MOB, MOB IPs)
** Combines Germany, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands.
Comparison with other providers
Rayobyte’s residential proxy network was average to above average in size. It had a significant presence in all of our tested locales, and most of the IPs were indeed on residential connections.
Infrastructure success rate
Requests: Same as the pool test
Target: Nearest server of a global CDN
Comparison with other providers
The success rate was decent, though it lagged behind top competitors which are able to reach 99.5% or more everywhere. The majority of the errors had to do with timeouts.
Infrastructure response time
Requests: 6 KB page size – same as the pool test, 2 MB page size – 5,000
Target: Nearest server of a global CDN

Rayobyte’s residential proxies were on the slower end. It’s evident that this provider has no gateway infrastructure in Europe or Asia, which would help with latency a lot.
- Basic request: USERNAME:[email protected]:8000
- Using filters: USERNAME:PASSWORD-country-US-region-california-city-san_francisco@la.residential.rayobyte.com:8000
- Establishing sessions: USERNAME:[email protected]:8000
- Using IP whitelisting: la.residential.rayobyte.com:8000 + parameters in request headers
🏠🏢 ISP (Static Residential) Proxies
Rayobyte’s ISP proxies are like a stripped-down version of the datacenter product. This isn’t necessarily bad – it just means that the provider hasn’t had the time to bring the service up to a similar scale. It also owes to the fact that ISP proxies are much harder to source.
Like with datacenter proxies, you can choose to share IPs with several other people or buy addresses dedicated to your personal use. Rayobyte recently introduced a third option that provides access to a pool of rotating IPs. The provider doesn’t specify how large it is.
- Formats: Shared, dedicated list, rotating pool
- Countries: 16 in four continents
- Rotation: Available in all formats, optional
- Starts from: $4.7 for 10 shared IPs ($0.47/IP), $10 for 3 dedicated IPs ($3.33/IP), or $3 for 1 GB
Compared to Rayobyte’s datacenter proxies, or premium competitors like Oxylabs and Bright Data, the location coverage is skimpy. On the bright side, it’s possible to choose particular cities; once again, the feature is available only for American addresses.
Rayobyte currently advertises nine ASNs, including such consumer internet service providers like Comcast and Verizon. We found this to be true, but note that the system assigns IPs automatically.
It’s also possible to replace the proxies free of charge once per month. This feature wasn’t available earlier, so it’s a nice addition to the product.
Two of the three products integrate directly as IP lists. The rotating pool uses a gateway server – there, the address and port remain the same, and you add parameters to the password.
In general, Rayobyte’s ISP proxies have very few limitations. If you choose a static or dedicated list, you can use it however you wish within Rayobyte’s terms of use.
Rayobyte supports the SOCKS5 protocol, but it excludes UDP.
Rayobyte’s list-based formats require a subscription. Committing to longer periods gives a discount that reaches 15% for a year’s contract.
The plans have the same ranges as Rayobyte’s datacenter proxies and come with the same pitfalls – they’re too broad to be efficient. These are the tiers:
- Starter (5-99 IPs),
- Personal (100-999 IPs, 4% cheaper),
- Corporate (1,000-4,999 IPs, 8% cheaper),
- Enterprise (>5,000 IPs, 30% or more cheaper).
Overall, Rayobyte’s shared and dedicated ISP proxies cost a lot, even compared to premium providers like Oxylabs.
The rotating pool’s model is scaling pay-as-you-go: you pay for non-expiring traffic in advance, and getting more gigabytes at once ensures better rates. The price here is significantly more competitive.
We last tested Rayobyte’s 100 dedicated US ISP proxies in April 2025.
Basic analysis
The IPs we received came from eight subnets. They were correctly geolocated and had Verizon as the ASN. So far, we have nothing to complain about.
IP quality
Residential percentage: IP2Location database, Usage type data point (ISP, ISP/MOB, MOB IPs)
An IP database identified all 100 proxies as residential. What’s more – and this is very rare with ISP proxies – most of them really belonged to Verizon and were not just brought under its network.
Infrastructure performance
Requests: 70,000 over 7 days
Target: Nearest server of a global CDN (~6 KB page size)
Our server location: US
The dedicated ISP proxies connected to our benchmark target extremely quickly. The success rate suffered because 18 of our 100 proxy servers were offline throughout the testing period.
Download speed
Target: Hetzner’s 100 MB Ashburn benchmark
Proxies tested: 10
Rayobyte gave us enough throughput for most tasks, and there we no big jumps between different IPs. But compared to other providers like Oxylabs or Massive (45-50 MB/s), the download speed failed to impress.
Performance with popular targets
Requests: ~2,600 per target
Location: US (both the gateway and our server)
Comparison with other providers
Rayobyte handled Amazon well, but we couldn’t open Google at all. Maybe there was something wrong with the configuration.
- Basic request: isp.decodo.com:10000
- Sessions: isp.decodo.com:10001, 10002…
- Parameters: user-USERNAME-country-us-ip-46.202.87.168:PASSWORD
@isp.decodo.com:10001, 10002…
You get one address and modify either the username or the port number to change various parameters.
For example, using the port 10000 will rotate IPs with every request, while different port numbers represent sticky sessions. Username modifiers allow targeting locations, as well as individual IPs.
Although IP whitelisting is available, it doesn’t support country targeting (as you can no longer change the username).
🏢 Datacenter Proxies
You can get datacenter IPs in six different formats, including IPv6. We’ll cover three:
- Lists of shared proxies that you use alongside several other people.
- Lists of dedicated addresses you share with no one.
- Rotating proxies where you pay for traffic and get full access to thousands of IPs in several countries.
- Formats: Shared, dedicated list, pool with 100k IPs
- Countries: 18 in five continents
- Rotation: Available in all formats, optional
- Starts from: $3.5 for 100 shared IPs, $5.55 for 3 dedicated IPs ($1.85/IP), or $6 for 10 GB
According to Rayobyte, it controls over 300,000 datacenter IPs. The proxies are spread throughout 20,000 C-class subnets under nine different ASNs.
This ensures a variety of addresses that’s less likely to get mass banned. On the other hand, some of the ASNs are directly associated with Rayobyte, which can make it obvious where your requests come from.
You can get dedicated IPs in 27 countries. Many of the proxies will be in the US, but you can also choose from a fair number of Western European, Southern American, and Southeast Asian countries.
The semi-dedicated proxies support nine locations (US, Brazil, Western Europe), and the rotating ones only four (US, Germany, Brazil, and France). In some countries – mainly the US – you can further specify a city.
It’s possible to replace the full proxy list every month. You’re also allowed to change individuals IPs at will. This also costs nothing, as long as the number of monthly refreshes remains within your plan’s size.
Be aware that Rayobyte’s system automatically chooses proxies from various subnets based on your location preferences. You can then replace the ones that don’t work until you find a subnet that manages to complete the job. So, it’s pretty much a trial-and-error approach.
Rayobyte’s shared and dedicated proxies come in simple IP:Port lists. You can download these lists and integrate them into any software.
The rotating pool uses a proper backconnect gateway where both the hostname and port remain the same. You can change the configuration (such as IP location) by adding parameters to the password.
Rayobyte supports both HTTP and SOCKS5 connections, but the latter protocol only accepts TCP traffic (no UDP).
As their name suggests, the rotating plans can automatically switch proxies without your input. The pool format is better for web scraping, as it has the option to fetch a new IP with every connection request.
Rayobyte charges for datacenter proxies either by IP or traffic. Two out of the three formats use a subscription-based pricing model. You can get proxies for a month, three months, six months, or a year. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper it gets, up to a 15% discount for a year’s commitment.
The rotating pool bases its pricing on scaling pay-as-you-go. In other words, you pre-pay for traffic, and it stays in your account until used.
In any case, Rayobyte’s plans fall into ranges: 5-99 IPs fetch one price, 100-999 are slightly cheaper per unit, and so on. These ranges can be a little too broad: paying $2.13 for a dedicated proxy is okay when getting 100 IPs but way too much when you’re buying 800.
The per-IP formats also base their rates on proxy location. IPs in the US are generally cheaper than in other countries, likely because Rayobyte finds them easier to source. At its worst, the difference in price can reach 75% (US versus Australian dedicated proxies).
All in all, it’s hard to evaluate whether Rayobyte’s datacenter proxies are cheap or expensive. Buying any amount of traffic for the rotating pool? In most cases, it’ll cost below the market average. Getting 10 dedicated IPs in the US? The rates will be competitive. 80 IPs in Australia? You’ll most likely be seriously overpaying.
We last tested Rayobyte’s rotating datacenter proxies in April 2026.
Pool size
Our benchmark surfaced over 50k unique datacenter IPs, which is a strong result. What’s more, we received below 100 IPs per subnet, showing that we hadn’t fully exhausted the pool.
Infrastructure performance
Target: Nearest server of a global CDN (~6 KB page size)
Our server location: US
The infrastructure performance was solid: not the best in the market but perfectly serviceable and on par with other similar services.
Download speed
Target: Hetzner’s 100 MB Ashburn benchmark
Proxies tested: 10
The throughput was also decent, though you may not want to use these proxies exclusively for media downloads. For web scraping, they’ll be perfectly fine.
- Basic request: isp.decodo.com:10000
- Sessions: isp.decodo.com:10001, 10002…
- Parameters: user-USERNAME-country-us-ip-46.202.87.168:PASSWORD
@isp.decodo.com:10001, 10002…
You get one address and modify either the username or the port number to change various parameters.
For example, using the port 10000 will rotate IPs with every request, while different port numbers represent sticky sessions. Username modifiers allow targeting locations, as well as individual IPs.
Although IP whitelisting is available, it doesn’t support country targeting (as you can no longer change the username).
📱 Mobile Proxies
Rayobyte’s mobile proxies use a clever configuration: they combine dedicated devices with peer-to-peer IPs from real people. At this point, we’d say that the device-based proxies still make up the bulk of the proxy network.
Rayobyte constantly restarts the devices, forcing mobile carriers to assign them a new address. This creates an interesting scenario: you’ll quickly deplete IPs if you scrape in short bursts; but the proxy pool becomes pretty large throughout longer stretches of time. As a result, the service is best suited for web scraping specialists that work on a smaller scale.
- Advertised pool: Not specified
- Countries: 100+ with state, city targeting. Highly concentrated in several locales
- Rotation: Every request, up to 60 min
- Starts from: $250 for 500 GB ($0.5/GB)

Rayobyte fails to specify how many IPs it controls. What we do know is that the bulk are located in the US. You’re free to filter the proxy network by country or city, but there are no ASN controls.
These mobile proxies were made for web scraping: they have no thread or port limits and offer rotation with every connection request.
- Model: Subscription
- Format: Traffic
- Modifiers: ❌
- Starting price: $250 for 200 GB ($1.25/GB)
- Trial: $250 for 500 GB ($0.5/GB)
Unlike Rayobyte’s other rotating products, the mobile proxies come with a monthly subscription. You pay for traffic and get to use the full pool.
The starting price obviously targets large-scale customers – not everyone is able to spend $250 just to try out the service. Having said that, Rayobyte’s rates are some of the most competitive in the market.
We last tested Rayobyte’s mobile proxies in April 2026, for our annual proxy market report.
Pool size & composition
* IP2Location database, Usage type data point (ISP/MOB, MOB IPs)
** Combines Germany, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands.
Rayobyte’s mobile proxy network was rather small and very imbalanced: we found over 150k unique IPs with no filters apply, but the provider had little presence in Europe and effectively no IPs in India.
Infrastructure success rate
Requests: Same as the pool test
Target: Nearest server of a global CDN (~6 KB page size)
The infrastructure success rate mimics the results of the pool benchmark. Where Rayobyte had IPs, they performed decently well; everywhere else, the success rate was unacceptably low, especially considering that our rate of requests wasn’t even that high, and the target offered perfect connectivity.
Infrastructure response time
Requests: Same as the pool test
Target: Nearest server of a global CDN (~6 KB page size)
What’s more, Rayobyte’s mobile proxies were slow: less so in the US but sluggish in Asia. The response time distribution in Brazil makes them very hard to work with for anything serious.
How to Use Rayobyte
This section shows what it’s like to use Rayobyte’s service, from registration to customer support.
Before we begin, we must note that the provider actually has two dashboards – one for its static datacenter and ISP proxies, and the second one for the rotating products. This complicates things and makes it seem like you’re using different providers.
Registration
The registration procedure depends on which proxy type you get.
To buy datacenter or IP-based ISP proxies, you have to complete a lengthy form. The registration is paired with purchase, so even if you opt for a trial, you’ll need to select a package, location, and amount of IPs.
To get residential proxies, you’ll need to enter an email and password, then confirm the registration via email. Rayobyte will automatically assign 50 MB of traffic to the account.
KYC & Usage Policies
Rayobyte requires undergoing a KYC procedure only for residential proxies. It involves filling in a form through a third-party service called SumSub.
Rayobyte blocks certain categories of websites by default. They include financial institutions, login pages, mailing, and API endpoints. It’s possible to unlock some of these targets, but the procedure is rather laborious: you’ll need to list examples, screencast and describe your workflow, and submit a written confirmation that you won’t be doing anything illegal.
The Two Dashboards
Rayobyte’s datacenter and ISP proxy dashboard doesn’t look very modern, but it includes everything needed to work with proxies. You can buy a plan, authorize and manage the proxy servers, view invoices, and contact support. You won’t find any usage metrics, but unlimited traffic makes this feature less relevant.
Subscription Management
Rayobyte supports full self-service for its datacenter and static ISP proxy plans. There’s no wallet functionality, meaning that any change to the subscription will require a new transaction. Rayobyte lists invoices in a separate tab called Billing.
Another interesting feature – particularly because you can do it on your own – is upgrading or downgrading a plan. Simply enter the number of IPs you want to add or discard, and the system will make the changes for you. No need to contact support. Just note that you can only beef up your existing plan this way: it doesn’t seem possible to add German IPs if you have a US-based package.
Finally, you can request to cancel the service through the dashboard. It will ensure that subscription won’t renew after the 30 day billing period.
Proxy Management
After you’ve authenticated via a username:password or whitelisting an IP, you can simply copy proxies from a list of addresses on the dashboard. It’s nice that you can see the location associated with each address. You can export the list if needed, but the output format will no longer display the location of the IPs. There’s also a homemade tool for filtering out bad IPs – a convenient touch.
If the proxy server supports it, the dashboard allows choosing a particular city within the country it’s located.
If an IP doesn’t work the way you want it, you can replace it. Simply hit a button, and within 30 minutes, a new one will appear in the old one’s place. Or, enter a list of proxies into the text field to substitute them en masse. A replacement is available once every 30 days.
Proxy Management API
The dashboard also has a tab called Proxy Settings/API. There, you can do four things:
- Substitute an IP if it goes down. This ensures 100% uptime, but personally I’d be a little wary to give up my hand-picked proxies to an automated system
- Rotate the static proxies after 30 days.
- Export the data about your account (including the billing info).
- Access the API. It allows authorizing, viewing assigned IPs by country or category, replacing and adding/removing proxies – all programmatically.
Rayobyte’s decision to build a separate dashboard for residential proxies isn’t convenient, especially if you use several proxy types at once. It requires creating a new account and follows a different design language.
In any case, the residential dashboard does its job: it lets you authorize access, set up the proxy server, track and top up balance, and access relevant help docs.
Subscription Management
Rayobyte’s residential dashboard has a separate tab with three pages for subscription management. On the first page page, you can buy traffic, but only once you go through a KYC procedure.
On the second page, you can trigger automatic top-ups after reaching a set balance threshold. It’s possible to specify by how much to top up. The feature could use improvements. There’s no wallet functionality and the system doesn’t respect your previous purchases: if you bought 100 GB at $6/GB, topping up 5 GB will cost $15/GB.
The third page is dedicated to billing history. In other words, it shows your transactions and generates downloadable invoices.
Proxy Management
Rayobyte has a widget for generating proxy lists based on the parameters you choose. These include location filtering, choosing whether to hold a sticky session, and your preferred authentication type.
Then, you can generate 10, 100, 1,000, or 10,000 endpoints in several formats. There’s also a dynamic cURL example for quickly testing the configuration.
The widget works well, but it isn’t perfect. For one, it could use integration examples in more programming languages. And it wasn’t able to properly generate a proxy list with IP whitelist selected as the authentication type.
Usage Tracking
Rayobyte provides a graph that shows traffic use in kilobytes. You can choose from multiple time periods: last month, 60, 90, 120, 150, or 180 days.
In addition, the dashboard has a page that shows the list of domains you accessed. There are four periods to choose from (last minute, hour, 24 hours, day). More frequented domains appear higher up, but you can’t see the actual number of requests made.
Finally, it’s possible to track bandwidth spend per country for either 10 days, 10-20 days, or 20-30 days. The table is on yet another page.
Documentation
To keep you informed about its services, Rayobyte has an arsenal of guides in text and video formats. They’re peppered throughout the dashboard in strategic positions.
You main source of information, however, will be Rayobyte’s knowledge base. It answers many questions, but we don’t really like this resource. The structure is messy, articles tend to overlap, and some have become outdated. The knowledge base could really use an overhaul.
Hands-On Support
If you find yourself with technical issues – or just wanting some human contact – Rayobyte offers 24/7 customer support. You can contact it via email, ticketing system, or live chat. During my writing of this review, the live chat functionality didn’t work.
I tried reaching out via the ticketing system. It took me roughly two hours to receive a reply, which came at around 3AM for the customer success agent. Our conversation went back and forth several times; and while the answers were direct and competent, each further response took a similar time (2 hours) to arrive, even after the agents changed shifts. I suppose they didn’t treat my questions as urgent technical issues – which they weren’t.
Conclusion
Gone are the days when Neil sat in forums answering questions about a freshly-baked proxy service. Rayobyte has grown into a bustling company with over 30 people.
If you need dedicated datacenter proxies, Rayobyte can give you several strong reasons to choose it over the competition: perhaps not always the price, but definitely its flexibility and hands-on approach. 20,000 subnets are nothing to scoff at, even if the system that distributes them requires some trial and error.
Rayobyte’s residential proxy networks have compelling selling points as well, but they mostly concern low prices without traffic expiration. This comes at the trade-off of performance.
The marketing front (ethics and all the light metaphors) looks compelling as well, whether you’re a part-time web scraper or an enterprise looking to scale its data collection efforts.
Overall, Rayobyte has something to offer for everyone, but it’s hardly our top choice for everything. Still, this provider has obvious strengths which may elevate it above the alternatives.
