Bright Data

What it is for

Bright Data is a hosted proxy-zone desk: you open Access Details for a zone, and the public Cloud start we fetched is Datacenter from $0.9/IP (Unlocker / SERP Free tier from $1/1k). Use it when the job is a zone you start at a public $, not when you need a $20 chat seat.

What makes it unique: the cover is Bright Data’s official datacenter_proxy zone (brd.superproxy.io port 33335, Custom PAYG, curl to geo.brdtest.com, IP Allowlist 1, Your proxy list Download / View / Copy) from the docs still — not a pricing card. The Access Details themselves are ops of the zone.

Key features

• Zone overview — host / port / username and the package on one zone (cover still; docs). One desk. Cover brd.superproxy.io / 33335 sit here. Download / View / Copy sit here as CTAs, not a sixth desk.
• Configuration — the next tab on the same zone (cover tabs). A form, not the Access Details card.
• Playground — a request you run against the zone (cover tabs; cover curl is a snippet on the zone). A run, not the host cell.
• Geotargeting — country pickers next to the zone (geotargeting still Albania / Argentina / +$0.183/GB). A target, not Access Details.
• IP allowlist — the IPs the zone accepts (cover IP Allowlist 1). A list, not the host/port card.

Active / Documentation on the cover are CTAs (not desks). Residential / Datacenter / Unlocker tiles are the meter. $0.9/IP and $2.5/GB are the extra meter, not a desk we fold into the zone. Code Examples is install.

Who it's for

Best fit: scraping teams who will start on a printed public tile (Unlocker Free tier from $1/1k, or Datacenter from $0.9/IP) while they open a first zone, then Residential at $2.5/GB when they need peer IPs.
