Across every proxy site I have read for this series, one subject is almost universally avoided: whether any of this is legal.

PSB Proxy publishes a written explainer on the legality of collecting publicly available data.

That is a genuinely unusual thing for a vendor to do, and it is useful whether or not you operate in the jurisdiction they are writing about.

Why Addressing It at All Matters

Most providers treat the legal question as somebody else's problem, which leaves customers to guess.

The honest position is that collecting publicly available information is generally lawful in most places, while what you do with it, how hard you hit a server and whether you breach a site's terms are separate questions with separate answers.

A provider willing to write that down is signalling that its customers are businesses with compliance obligations rather than people hoping nobody asks. That tends to correlate with how the rest of the operation is run.

Nothing on a vendor's website is legal advice, and you should treat it as a starting point rather than a conclusion. But a starting point is more than most of this industry offers.

Three Tiers, Sensibly Priced

Datacenter addresses at the cheap end, residential in the middle, and mobile on carrier networks at the top. That ordering reflects genuine cost, which is a good sign.

All three are priced per gigabyte and published openly, with sticky sessions, CAPTCHA handling, API access and a proper dashboard.

A Scraping API With Analysis Attached

Alongside the addresses sits a web scraping API that includes AI driven analysis rather than only returning pages.

That is a step beyond the usual. Most scraping APIs hand back content and leave interpretation to you. Adding analysis means the output is closer to an answer than to raw material.

Worth testing carefully against your own needs, since automated analysis is only as good as it is on your specific data. But for anyone whose pipeline currently ends with a pile of unstructured text, it is a real shortcut. Our scraping guide covers the collection half honestly.

White Label Reselling

There is a white label programme alongside a referral scheme, letting you sell proxy capacity under your own brand.

For anyone building tools that need proxy capability, that removes the need to become a proxy company yourself. It is also a modest signal about infrastructure, since resellers are harder to satisfy than end customers.

Who It Fits

PSB Proxy suits businesses with compliance questions to answer, teams wanting scraping and analysis rather than raw pages, users needing three tiers from one balance, and toolmakers wanting to resell capacity.

Who Might Look Elsewhere

Very large scale collection may want a provider with a deeper published pool and more granular network level targeting.

The site is primarily in Russian with English available. If you want English first support at all hours, factor that in.

Final Verdict

PSB Proxy is a thoughtful provider that engages with a question the rest of this market pretends does not exist.

Three clearly priced tiers, a scraping API with analysis on top, white label reselling, a proper dashboard and a written position on the legal ground its customers are standing on.

Read the explainer before you read the pricing. It will change how you think about the whole category, whichever provider you end up buying from.
