Why use Shifter residential proxies?
A Network That Is Operating Today
Google disrupted IPIDEA on 28 January 2026, removing around nine million devices from the network and seizing dozens of domains. More than a dozen brands resold the same pool, so buyers of several different products lost service at once. The immediate need is a provider that is running, not a marginally cheaper one.
LunaProxy Was a Reseller, Not a Network
LunaProxy sold access to IPIDEA's pool rather than running its own. Reporting named PyProxy, PIA S5 Proxy, 922Proxy, ABC Proxy, Cherry Proxy, IP2World, TabProxy, 360Proxy and ASocks alongside it. If you switched between any of those chasing better performance, you were buying the same network under different names.
Performance You Can Check Before Committing
After a disruption of this kind, being able to verify a provider's numbers matters more than a discount.
Migrate Without Rewriting Your Integration
Shifter uses standard username and password authentication over HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5. For most teams a migration is a change of gateway host and credentials, with country and city targeting set through the same style of gateway parameters.
Support Through the Move
24/7 support on every plan including the entry tier, so an unplanned migration is not stuck waiting in a queue.
Simple, transparent pricing
Fixed monthly plans with included bandwidth. No hidden fees. Scale as your usage grows.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about switching from LunaProxy to Shifter.
LunaProxy is no longer in business. It was one of more than a dozen brands reselling the IPIDEA residential proxy network, which Google disrupted on 28 January 2026 by removing around nine million compromised devices and seizing dozens of domains.
Reporting named PyProxy, LunaProxy, PIA S5 Proxy, 922Proxy, ABC Proxy, Cherry Proxy, IP2World, TabProxy, 360Proxy and ASocks among brands running on the same infrastructure. If you were using any of those, you were affected by the same action.
Usually within an hour. Authentication is standard credentials over HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5, so for most teams it is a change of endpoint and credentials, and existing geo-targeting logic normally maps straight across.
Ask for measured evidence, not just a headline pool size. Advertised totals count every address a network has ever seen, over years and across every country, so they say little about what is reachable where you need it right now. Run your own test: send concurrent requests through the gateway to an IP echo endpoint, opening a fresh connection each time, and count the distinct addresses returned in the country you care about. We publish that method and our own results at /benchmarks.
