Trade-Offs Breakdown

Verified Pros & Cons: SquidProxies vs LunaProxy

SquidProxies

Rank #null

✓ Verified Strengths (Pros)

Established operational pedigree: active in the proxy hosting industry since 2010 with proven server reliability
Affordable entry thresholds with $15/month starting packages for both residential (10 GB) and dedicated datacenter (10 IPs)
Completely unmetered bandwidth on all dedicated datacenter plans with high-speed 1 Gbps server connections
Seven-day money-back guarantee for qualifying first-time customers and transparent public status monitoring

✕ Documented Limitations (Cons)

No standalone pay-as-you-go residential bandwidth: residential data is locked into monthly subscriptions and expires at cycle end
Does not provide Static ISP (residential ASN) or mobile cellular proxy networks
Protocol transport limited to HTTP and HTTPS over TCP: SOCKS5 and UDP protocols are not natively supported
Pricing discrepancies between modern storefront landing pages ($15/10 IPs) and legacy WHMCS billing portals ($24/10 IPs)

LunaProxy

Rank #null

✓ Verified Strengths (Pros)

Historically provided high-affordability residential bandwidth starting below $1.00/GB on volume packages
Previously featured a dedicated desktop proxy client and browser extension for session and IP management
Offered diverse historical product types including Rotating Residential, Unlimited Residential, Static ISP, and Datacenter
Historical documentation supported wide protocol compatibility spanning HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5

✕ Documented Limitations (Cons)

CRITICAL: Disrupted by Google Threat Intelligence on January 28, 2026 as part of the IPIDEA proxy network ecosystem
Google investigation identified proxy supply chain reliance on deceptive SDKs turning consumer devices into unwitting exit nodes
Commercial service is completely defunct; original domain (lunaproxy.com) is inaccessible and no longer resolves
Similarly named domains (e.g. luna-proxy.com) lack verified common ownership or operational continuity with the original service

Selection Verdict

How to Choose Between SquidProxies and LunaProxy

Selecting between SquidProxies and LunaProxy depends on the proxy network types, billing model, and session duration required by your workflow:

When to Choose SquidProxies
