Description
Bright Data Proxy is a powerful platform that provides secure and anonymous access to Internet resources. Combined with an anti-detection browser, it opens up new opportunities for users in Internet marketing, research and analysis, and cybersecurity.
The Bright Data platform has a broad and diverse network of proxy servers used by both large Fortune 500 companies and small businesses to efficiently collect publicly available data. Its arsenal includes over 72 million real residential IP addresses, 1.6 million IP addresses from data centers, 7 million mobile IP addresses, and over 600,000 IP addresses from ISPs. This broad spectrum enables fast and stable connections with extensive geographic coverage and high quality of service.
Bright Data Proxy also offers the following features:

- Optimize and reduce internet traffic.
- Bypass captcha and adapt to changes in site markup.

Registration and test period
After registering on Bright Data’s website, you will receive a $10 credit and your account will automatically go “Playground mode” for the first 3 days, allowing you to instantly try out Bright Data’s various solutions without adding a payment method. “Playground mode” is intended for small-scale testing and research, not for large-scale testing or production use. Product usage is limited to parameters such as speed, throughput, and requests per second until you confirm your account and begin a 30-day trial period. At the end of the 30-day trial period, your free credits will expire (if not already used) and you will need to top up your account to continue using the Bright Data platform.
To remove the restrictions, you simply need to add a valid payment method to your account. At the time of writing the review, Bright Data supported the following payment methods: Bank Cards, PayPal, Alipay, Payoneer.
How to set up and use Bright Data proxy
If you signed up as above and got $10 in account balance (the screenshot shows $12 because Bright Data has frequent promotions and they gave me another $2), you need to create your first proxy.
As you understand, I’m studying Bright Data web-interface at the same time I’m writing a review and testing proxies. So, I have previously studied several manuals including official ones on how to configure and integrate proxies into anti-detection browsers. And I’m confused!!! 9 steps to set up a proxy is overkill! Let’s simplify and trust ourselves. So:
- Tab Proxies & Scraping press the Add button and choose from 7 proxy options. I chose ISP, that is, I will be given residential IPs from local Internet providers of the selected country.
- Go to the properties of the received proxy and press the “Download” button (see screenshot). A text file will be downloaded.
- For integration with the Dolphin {anty} browser, copy the contents of the file and paste it into the proxy creation text field in the browser. And that’s it! No need to edit anything, just copy and paste!
Bright Data Proxy integration with Dolphin Anty allows you to not only adapt to constantly changing check algorithms and blocking, but also stay ahead of them.
Web Scraping (Scraping Browser)
Web scraping is the automated process of extracting data from websites using specialized programs known as parsers. This technology collects information by converting it into easy-to-analyze formats such as tables or databases. Web scraping is widely used for a variety of purposes, including price monitoring, competitor analysis, research data collection, and website content improvement. It is important to note that some websites may protect themselves from web scraping using various blocking methods, making the use of proxies and other tools necessary for successful data collection.
Bright Data offers an auto-scaling browser infrastructure for data scraping. It allows you to run Puppeteer, Selenium, and Playwright scripts in hosted browsers with offline unblocking and auto-scaling features and 72,000,000 residential IP addresses.
Conclusion
Currently, Bright Data continues to be one of the best web scraping solutions available. If you are looking for a way to optimize your data collection and increase the efficiency of your online operations, Bright Data is a great choice to achieve your goals. With a wide range of proxy servers, support for over 50 languages, and flexible payment options, Bright Data Proxy becomes an ideal choice for large corporations and small businesses alike. Integration with anti-detection browsers not only allows you to adapt to ever-changing inspection and blocking algorithms, but also to efficiently collect data for online marketing and research.
