RapidShare Proxy

When using RapidShare, several frustrating things can happen. They include:

IP tracing IP blocking Traffic limitations Slow upload/download speeds

Using proxies can solve all the problems mentioned above. How? Well, to understand that, let us first understand what proxies are.

A proxy server acts as a point of connectivity between users and the internet. In typical internet connections, you communicate directly with the website you’re visiting, disclosing your IP address. On the other hand, proxy servers hide your IP address and replace it with their own, which they use to communicate with websites on your behalf.

Now we can address the how. Firstly, your IP cannot be traced when you employ a proxy because the proxy server’s IP address will mask it. This means you will be using the website anonymously.

Secondly, proxies will help you get past IP blocking. It doesn’t matter why your IP address cannot access the site. A reliable proxy provider can give you access to endless IP addresses in different locations worldwide, allowing you to use the website even though you are blocked. This is possible because your IP address does not really interact with the website.

Thirdly, you can get past traffic limitations by using proxies. This means that instead of using just one IP address to upload large files, you can use a hundred or a thousand of them to upload fractions of the file. For instance, if you have a file that is 30 GB in size and you want to upload it using RapidShare, things might get a tad complicated.

Why? Well, for starters, the maximum file size is 1 GB, and uploading 30 GB may take forever. With proxies, you can use 30 IPs, and each can upload 1 GB. This way, you will upload your file without any size restrictions, and there won’t be any traffic limitations.

Now that you understand why you need a proxy, let us discuss which proxies are best for RapidShare.

Residential proxies are ISP-affiliated, which means their IPs trace back to genuine desktop and mobile devices from real internet users. This makes them more reliable, and hence the best option for RapidShare.

You may also choose to go with datacenter proxies. These come with unlimited bandwidth and higher speeds compared to residential proxies. They are also significantly more affordable, but it is worth keeping in mind that they are virtually generated in cloud servers.

When it comes to file sharing, residential is often the better option. More importantly. Whichever option you decide to go with, always make sure you get your proxies from a provider that puts your online privacy first.
