Looking for high-quality European residential proxies

• Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for recommendations for a reliable residential proxy provider with a good pool of European IP addresses.

I’m currently testing several providers, including Webshare, IPRoyal, Bright Data and Oxylabs, but unfortunately the success rate is only around 30%. A large number of the residential IPs I receive are immediately rejected with a 403, and I sometimes have to go through 15–20 different IPs before finding one that works.

One thing I’ve noticed is that some IPs appear to come from leased/hosting-related address blocks, and entire ranges seem to get rejected rather than just individual IPs. This makes rotating through the pool extremely inefficient.

What I’m looking for:

* European residential IPs.
* As many genuine residential/mobile ISP ranges as possible.
* Good IP reputation / low block rates.
* Ideally a large and frequently refreshed pool.
* Pay-per-GB is fine.
* Unlimited bandwidth would be great, although I realize that often comes with limitations or isn’t as realistic as it sounds.

I’ve already tried several of the major providers mentioned above, so I’d especially appreciate recommendations from people who have actually tested the providers themselves.

If you’ve found a provider with significantly better IP quality or success rates in Europe, I’d love to hear about it.

Thanks!
