Proxy types
Blazing SEO proxies are high anonymity proxies, using HTTP, HTTPS or SOCKS protocols. The following
Semi-dedicated proxies
Semi-dedicated proxies are shared between 3 users. They may be affected by the bad neighbor effect, but the prices are significantly lower. These shared proxies are not recommended for social media accounts.
Dedicated proxies
The proxies from the Dedicated proxies packages use dedicated IP addresses, virgin IPs, multiple subnets, and they are elite proxies assigned only to one user. They are suitable for creating and managing social media accounts (e.g., Instagram proxies, Facebook proxies, Twitter proxies).
Rotating proxies
Rotating proxies offer access to a single IP address and multiple ports. Upon connecting to one of the ports, your traffic is automatically routed to a Blazing proxy IP.
Sneaker proxies
The sneaker proxies are private proxies optimized for coping sneakers from sneaker sites like Adidas, Nike, Supreme, Champs Sports, Yeezy, Footlocker, Eastbay.
Important! There is a zero refund policy for the sneaker proxies and they are not guaranteed to work.
Shopify proxies
The Shopify proxies are physically located in Chicago (USA) to provide excellent ping times to Shopify sites and offer a wide range of subnets to guarantee diversity.

Proxy client
Blazing SEO proxies can be used in various ways,
Manual configuration
The manual proxy configuration of any browser or proxy-enabled application is easy to perform, and it is a good option when you don’t need to complete tasks that require automation.
All popular web browsers can route your Internet traffic through HTTP/HTTPS or SOCKS proxies. Here is a step-by-step tutorial on how to set up SOCKS on Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari (similarly, HTTP proxies can be used). Additionally, HTTP proxies can be set up on iOS and Android devices.
Proxy browser extensions
For faster management of the proxy settings, you may want to install a proxy browser extension or addon. The one that I recommend is FoxyProxy that works for Firefox, as well as for Chrome.
Proxy software or proxy bots
BlazingSEO proxies are excellent as SEO proxies for creating social media accounts, scraping websites, buying online. Many such tasks need automation, and manual proxy configuration is simply not an option. Here are several proxy software applications and proxy bots that can be used with BlazingSEO proxies:
- Rotating proxy software: Elite Proxy Switcher, Proxifier.
- SEO software: ScrapeBox, GSA Search Engine Ranker.
- Sneaker bots: AIO Bot, Nike Bot, Another Nike Bot, SneakerHead-Bot, Heated Sneaks Bots, Easy Cop Ultimate.
IP source
The BlazingSEO proxies use data center IPs. Unlike residential IP addresses, data center IPs are more likely to be detected, blocked or banned by websites and firewalls.
back to menu ↑IP rotation
Rotating proxies (aka backconnect proxies) are available and you may select the IP rotation interval for individual servers. Also, you may rotate the regular, non-rotating Blazing SEO proxies using certain proxy applications or browser extensions as explained here.
back to menu ↑IP replacement
IP replacement is available every 30 days upon request, and one free Blazing SEO proxy replacement, per proxy, per month.
back to menu ↑Authentication
You may choose the authentication method: either IP based or user/pass authentication for most of the proxy packages. Rotating proxies and SOCKS proxies always use IP authentication.
back to menu ↑Bandwidth
Blazing SEO offers unlimited bandwidth and unlimited threads. No restrictions!
back to menu ↑Speed & Performance
For testing the speed of the proxies provided by Blazing SEO, I have used two proxy packages: USA Rotating Proxies and USA Dedicated Proxies.
You may see below the proxy speed test results. The provided speed was good and the speed loss was acceptable even when accessing long distanced proxy servers (e.g., Los Angeles).
Note: The speed test was performed in Europe, on a Windows machine using the Firefox browser.
P2P / Torrent policy
Torrenting is allowed using the Blazing SEO proxies.
back to menu ↑Usage restrictions
Hacking, spamming and all other illegal activities.
back to menu ↑Trial period
Blazing SEO LLC is one of the few proxy providers that offer a free trial. The proxy trial is available for 2 days, but you need to verify your email address and your PayPal account.

The Blazing SEO pricing model depends on location, proxy type and the number of pruchased proxies:
- Semi-dedicated proxies from $0.5/month.
- Dedicated proxies from $2/month.
- Rotating proxies from $2.20/month.
- Sneaker proxies from $1.5/month.
