NinjaProxy is an example of the kind of service that we take great interest in for reviewing purposes because we’re always on the lookout for good proxy service providers. A big part is due to the fact that online marketers have come to rely on such services to scrape data.
While there are many options out there, it’s difficult for the average user to find the best of the lot. Hence, we put great effort into reviewing these proxy services so you can make an informed decision.
In this review, we’ll get to the bottom of whether you should invest in NinjaProxy for your proxy needs.

History of NinjaProxy
From what we could gather based on our quick search, NinjaProxy was founded in 2007 by Matt Toreo. It is headquartered in New York and delivers “high-quality proxy services” to businesses of all sizes.
What Does NinjaProxy Offer?
Currently, you can choose between five proxy solutions, each focused on a particular type of use case. For example, its Shared proxy service plan is ideal for browsing the web anonymously. It’s the most affordable plan with moderate speed and is perfect if you’re not too concerned about speed or higher anonymity.
Take a step ahead and you’ll find the Private proxy plan that goes even further by giving you a static IP address that’s accessible only to you. Because no one else can use it, the proxy is better suited for use cases like search engine optimization (SEO). You will not get results based on someone else’s browsing history.
If you want better anonymity, its Premium plan will suit you. It guarantees that the proxy server’s resources will be exclusive and you get fresh new IP addresses.
Next up is the Residential proxy plan. And as you’d guess, it uses IP addresses reserved for home Internet users. The IP address gives you true anonymity online because bot protection is much less likely to block requests coming from home Internet users than someone using data center proxies.
Lastly, you can get mobile proxies sourced from 4G and 5G networks. NinjaProxy currently offers only proxies in the United States. These are the most expensive proxies in the list and most suited for specific use cases like emulating the experience of mobile Internet users.
Here’s a quick rundown of the pricing structure:
Shared proxies: $0.9/proxy
Private proxies: $1.72/proxy
Premium proxies: $2.09/proxy
Residential proxies: $7.75/proxy
4G proxies: $135/proxy
5G proxies: $135/proxy
Set Up NinjaProxy – Easy Guide
Pick any proxy plan then head to your user dashboard to retrieve the proxy details. Once in the dashboard, you’ll see important information such as the IP address and port number of the proxy server, whitelisted IP addresses, and the username and password you need for authentication.
Secondly, you’ll need a proxy tool like a web browser extension, or a third-party software that integrates proxy servers.
Refer to the software proxy integration guide for more accurate steps. Generally, you need the server’s IP address and port number, your username and password for authentication, and select the type of connection (HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS).
NinjaProxy’s Global Coverage
Coverage is an important factor you need to look into when deciding for a proxy service. If your needs are specific, check the provider’s global coverage to determine its eligibility for you.
Operating for more than a decade, NinjaProxy has extended its network to 50+ geolocations globally. The list includes countries like the United States, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Singapore, Brazil, France, Austria, Spain, and a lot more.
You can try reaching out to them and requesting a country that you don’t see in the list and they might add it.
24/7 Customer Support
If you’re a business, uptime is crucial for the smooth running of your business. But in the event there’s a technical problem, the proxy provider must be available round the clock and responsive to your queries.
NinjaProxy delivers on that front. You get 24/7 support via live chat and support. While the live customer support might take a few minutes to connect, businesses typically get special treatment and can get the matter resolved without delay.
Money-Back Guarantee Protection
Buying with confidence matters when it’s a new service you might not even have heard of before. One of the first things you must look for is the provider’s return policy. The top proxy service providers offer money-back guarantee, and in NinjaProxy’s case, it’s three days from the date of purchase.
We definitely would have liked to see a longer return window but it’s comforting on some level that you can ask for a refund if the service’s quality doesn’t live up to your expectations.
Final Words
We set up NinjaProxy using a proxy browser extension for its Premium proxy server based in the US. Our testing yielded positive results, allowing us to enjoy about 70% of the actual connection speed, which isn’t bad considering the proxy overhead. For people who are closer to the proxy server, you might see better results.
Lastly, there’s not a lot to dislike about NinjaProxy. There are definitely some improvements like support for SOCKS proxy and a better refund policy that we’d appreciate. But overall, NinjaProxy is a fast and reliable proxy service that fits every purpose.
