Proxies Are An
IP Address
Access Plane
Most teams treat proxies as "get an IP in the right country." That mindset causes predictable failure: unstable success rates, proxy waste from retries, and escalating cost as targets harden.
Why Proxies Matter
Even With Perfect Stealth
Even with Chromium-level evasion and coherent fingerprints, egress still carries risk signals. At scale, proxies are rarely the root cause of success, but they are often the root cause of unstable variance, cost blowouts, and non-reproducible failures.
Reputation & History
IP and ASN reputation signals persist across sessions and time.
Geo & Carrier Plausibility
Network egress must align with identity locale and device class.
Concurrency Density
Too many sessions from the same subnets creates correlation risk.
Failure Amplification
Retries on degraded routes multiply cost without improving outcomes.
The correct goal is not "more proxies." It is controlled routing and predictable outcomes .
Optional, Volume-Priced,
Policy-Driven
Undetect treats proxies as an operational control plane: optional if you already have procurement, cost-advantaged if you don't, deeply integrated with routing and identity strategy.
Proxy Panel
Volume-Based Rates
Large proxy panel with volume advantages passed through. For many teams, proxy savings offset a meaningful portion of platform cost, especially accounting for avoided retry waste.
- Lower effective cost per GB / session
- Fewer vendors to manage
- Predictable performance classes
- Global coverage across 195 countries
BYO Proxies
Proxy-Agnostic Design
Enterprises frequently have pre-approved vendors, internal egress controls, compliance constraints, and negotiated contracts. Undetect does not force the panel.
- Use existing vendor relationships
- Maintain compliance constraints
- Leverage negotiated contracts
- Full routing and policy tooling
Hybrid Deployments
Most mature teams end up mixing: panel for breadth and experimentation, BYO for tightly controlled production routes. Undetect supports both simultaneously with unified policy management.
Routing Is Where
Real Leverage Lives
Naively routing every request through premium egress is expensive and often slower. The correct approach is selective risk allocation.
Per-URL Routing
Many targets have a small set of endpoints that drive majority scrutiny. Use premium, higher-reputation routes only on high-risk endpoints; cheaper routes on low-risk assets.
Policy-Based Selection
At scale you need routing policies you can reason about: region and carrier class selection, performance class, failover behavior, controlled rotation vs persistence.
Proxies and Identity
Must Agree
A subtle but common mistake is treating proxy choice and fingerprint choice as independent. Modern systems correlate geo, language, timezone, and locale with network egress; device class with ASN patterns; account history with consistent network behavior.
German identity + Brazilian egress + English browser language = elevated scrutiny
Proxy capabilities designed to work cleanly with fingerprint resolution, persisted identities, and session sync
Reduce Waste.
Increase Throughput.
Proxy costs typically explode because teams cannot see where waste comes from. Undetect emphasizes operational clarity so you can identify bottlenecks and maintain predictable cost per successful session.
Bottleneck Identification
See degradation by target, route, and endpoint class. Distinguish proxy issues from application issues from target changes.
Retry Amplification Control
Understand when retries are helping vs. multiplying cost. Route around degraded paths instead of hammering them.
Cost Per Success
Track true unit economics: not cost per request, but cost per successful, complete session with full data extraction.
Proxy Panel is a fit if...
- 01
Want cost-advantaged rates without multi-vendor procurement
- 02
Need coverage across many regions quickly
- 03
Want single operational model and support path
BYO is a fit if...
- 01
Already have contracts and internal compliance requirements
- 02
Require fixed egress and strict network controls
- 03
Have existing routing infrastructure you want to keep
