proxy

A way to route browser traffic through authenticated proxy servers, which provide a different internet address for the request. It supports residential, datacenter, and mobile proxy types with Puppeteer.

In plain words
What is it for?
Using a different country or network address, reducing IP-based rate limiting, and accessing sites that block or restrict the current IP.
Why use it?
It can address IP-based blocking, rate limits, and location restrictions. It does not solve browser fingerprinting, JavaScript challenges, or CAPTCHAs by itself.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

proxy scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 294 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Proxy integration

Proxies are anti-blocking Layer 7 — escalate to them when IP-based blocking is the problem (403/429 on your datacenter IP, rate limits hit fast, geo-blocked content). They don't help with browser fingerprinting or JavaScript challenges — combine with stealth mode (scrape anti-blocking) and CAPTCHA solvers (2captcha, capmonster) as needed.

When to use a proxy

Symptom Likely cause Fix
403 on first request IP reputation (datacenter flagged) Residential proxy
429 after 5-20 requests Rate limit per IP Rotating residential, one IP per request
"Not available in your country" Geo-block Country-specific exit node
Instant Turnstile / JS challenge Fingerprinting, NOT IP Don't use proxy — use stealth + solver
CAPTCHA appears Behavior detection Solver, not proxy (see 2captcha)

Residential proxies cost money — don't reach for them before trying headed stealth mode and cookie persistence.

Proxy types

Type Cost Trust level Use case
Datacenter $0.50-$2/GB Low (easy to flag) Low-protection sites, high throughput
Residential $4-$10/GB High (real ISP IPs) Protected sites, default choice
Mobile (4G/5G) $10-$20/GB Highest (shared carrier IPs) Extreme protection, Instagram, TikTok
ISP / Static residential $1-$3/IP/mo High, sticky Authenticated sessions

Provider comparison (2026)

Provider Starting price Network Strengths
Smartproxy $4.50/GB Large Best small-scale value, no minimum, simple API
Bright Data $5.88/GB 150M+ IPs Largest network, ZIP-code targeting, enterprise compliance
Oxylabs $6.98/GB 175M+ IPs Fastest (~0.4s response), 99.82% success rate, $300 minimum
IPRoyal $1.75/GB Smaller Cheapest residential, pay-as-you-go
Decodo (ex-Smartproxy) $3.50/GB Mid Best value for mid-scale

Default recommendation for torch: Smartproxy (no minimum, Puppeteer-friendly) or IPRoyal (cheapest). Pick Bright Data only if you need enterprise features or ZIP-precise geo-targeting.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

proxy is a skill published in the GitHub repository AgentComputerAI/torch (5 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 83 tokens to every session and 2,566 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
