Most proxies work only with TCP — good for websites, scraping, account management, and other HTTP-based tasks.

But real-time traffic often runs on UDP:
▫️ Online gaming
▫️ Video calls
▫️ Streaming
▫️ DNS lookups
▫️ VoIP calls

𝗧𝗖𝗣 is reliable, but slower: packets are checked, ordered, and resent if lost.

𝗨𝗗𝗣 is faster and lighter: no extra waiting, no handshake — perfect for real-time apps where latency matters.

The problem: routing UDP through a proxy usually required a VPN, which can add encryption overhead and increase latency.

𝗦𝗢𝗖𝗞𝗦𝟓 + 𝗨𝗗𝗣 = allows fast UDP packet forwarding through a proxy without turning the whole connection into a VPN tunnel.
What it unlocks:

▫️ Gaming through a proxy with lower latency
▫️ VoIP calls routed through another country
▫️ Streaming with residential IPs instead of VPN servers
▫️ DNS resolving through proxy

UDP support is now available in Floppydata beta.

We recommend testing it first with US proxies 🇺🇸

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗮𝘁 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗽𝘆𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 ⚡

Over the past weeks, we’ve shipped several updates to make proxy management easier, faster, and more flexible — from automated balance refills to API access, IP resets, and UDP support.

1️⃣ 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗼𝗽-𝘂𝗽

▫️ Your balance can now refill itself automatically.
▫️ Set a minimum GB threshold, choose the top-up amount, link your card, and get notified after every refill.
▫️ No more manual checks or sudden traffic interruptions.

2️⃣ 𝗔𝗣𝗜 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱

▫️ You can now work with Floppydata API without leaving the dashboard.
▫️We added code snippets in 5 languages, pre-filled API keys, a full list of GET endpoints, and the ability to hit “Run” and see the live response instantly.

3️⃣ 𝗜𝗣 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱

▫️ Need a new IP? Now you can reset it whenever you need.
▫️Use the Reset button next to your proxy credentials, or change IP by session_id — paste the session_id, copy the generated link, and send the request.

4️⃣ 𝗨𝗗𝗣 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗮

▫️UDP support is now available for real-time traffic: gaming, streaming, VoIP, DNS, and other low-latency use cases.
▫️To enable it, go to Get proxy credentials, choose Residential or Mobile, select SOCKS5, and turn on the UDP toggle.
▫️The system will automatically add the udp-1 parameter to your proxy string.
▫️UDP is available for SOCKS5 on Residential and Mobile proxies.

This feature is currently in beta, so we’d really love you to test it in your own setups and share your feedback with us 🫂

More updates are coming.

𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲. 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗲𝘀.

You know that moment when you buy proxies and realize you picked the wrong type? Yeah, we fixed that.

The problem we solved:
One of the biggest headaches? Choosing the wrong traffic type at purchase. You'd buy Residential thinking it's what you need, only to discover Mobile would've been better. Or vice versa.
The new way (actually simple):

◻️ One purchase — all traffic types available
◻️ Pick any type later — Residential, Mobile, or Datacenter when generating credentials
◻️ Switch on the fly — change types instantly based on what actually works
◻️ One balance — no juggling, no confusion
◻️ Test everything — find the right fit without financial risk

Translation: Buy once, figure out what you actually need, stop throwing money away on guesses.

𝗩𝗣𝗡𝘀 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗻𝘆𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲?

Governments are blocking websites and social media faster than ever. VPN services are easily detected and banned. So what should you use instead?

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗩𝗣𝗡𝘀 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝗹:

▫️VPN server IPs are publicly known
▫️Shared by thousands of users simultaneously
▫️Trigger endless CAPTCHAs
▫️Risk account bans

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔:

▫️Proxies — dedicated IPs with high trust scores
▫️Antidetect browsers — mask your device fingerprint

🔷70M+ real IPs from 195+ countries
🔷Starting at $1/GB — cheaper than any VPN

𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸: Russia blocked 197 VPN services by October 2024. With proxies, you just switch countries and keep working.

𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮? 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘅𝗶𝗲𝘀 + 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗻/𝟏𝗕𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘀𝗲𝗿 = 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 + 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗲 $𝟑,𝟎𝟎𝟎+ 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀

Same Netflix costs $0.90 in Pakistan but $26.99 in Switzerland. Same content. 30x price difference.

We analyzed 15 popular services:

Price Gaps:
▫️YouTube Premium: $1.25 vs $23.48 (95%)
▫️Netflix: $0.90 vs $26.99 (96%)
▫️Spotify: $1.18 vs $20.46 (94%)
▫️Adobe Creative Cloud: $30.32 vs $101.54 (70%)
▫️PlayStation Plus: $0.46 vs $19.00 (97%)

Why?

Companies use "purchasing power parity" (PPP). A $15 subscription is affordable in the US but serious money in Nigeria.

But is it fair to pay more just because of where you live?

Potential Savings:

Switching all 15 services to cheapest regions:
• Regular cost: $4,044/year
• With regional pricing: $946/year
• Savings: $3,098/year

Full breakdown:
• All price comparisons
• Who this matters for
• Ethics of global pricing

𝗡𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 🚨

We removed subscriptions from 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗽𝘆𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮.. We know managing subscriptions was painful — tracking renewal dates, canceling, pausing. So we got rid of them completely.

What this means:

◻️ No more auto-renewals — buy traffic once, use it, buy more when you need it

Two traffic types now:

1. Expiring rotating traffic (30 days, 33% discount)
◻️ each purchase extends all your traffic by +30 days
◻️ 3-day grace period if access expires

2. Non-expiring rotating traffic (no expiration)
◻️ use whenever you want
◻️ perfect for irregular usage

Standard packages: 15GB, 20GB, 50GB, 100GB, 200GB
Faster to choose, easier to plan.

Your existing subscription?
Active subscriptions continue working as before. You just can't create new ones.

*Rotating traffic only. Static proxies unchanged

𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝘂𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘅𝘆 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺!

We’ve completely reworked the delivery logic — proxy pools are no longer needed. The good news: everything is now much simpler and more flexible.

Everything now runs through the Proxy Generator:
◻️ no need to set up proxy pools
◻️ no need to switch between configs
◻️ everything is managed in one place

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲: 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘅𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴

◻️ country, city, proxy type, session, rotation — all set via the username
◻️ no need to go into the interface or recreate anything
◻️ faster testing and scaling

To make the transition smooth, we’ve added:

▫️ sub-users with custom names and separate credentials → perfect for teams or project separation
▫️ traffic usage per user → clear visibility on who uses what
▫️ dashboard stats with user-level filters → easier monitoring

Result: fewer steps, more flexibility, and full control from the proxy string ✔️

𝗪𝗲’𝘃𝗲 𝘂𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗪𝗲𝗯 𝗨𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿 🚀

The main changes:

▫️ You can now create/select your API key directly in the interface, and it’s automatically added to the code snippet
▫️ We added request history and usage stats, so you can see URLs, statuses, and response times in one place
Just open Get code and grab a ready-to-use request.

You can:
▫️ quickly test a page with Scrape
▫️ or copy the code and run it in your terminal / backend

Other updates:
▫️cleaner and simpler interface
▫️ presets for popular websites (Amazon, AliExpress, etc.)
▫️ code moved into a dedicated Get code button

Result: less manual work, faster start, and better visibility into your requests 👌
