4chan Proxies

How does 4chan proxy work?

When connecting to 4chan via a proxy, all your traffic is routed to the proxy server first and then it sends requests to the forum from its IP to 4chan. It “sees” the proxy address and not your real address. This makes tracking and monitoring a lot harder for them. Unlike VPNs, proxies typically won’t encrypt all of your traffic, but they certainly can filter requests and speed up your downloads in a significant way. The most common protocols used for 4chan proxies are HTTP(S) and SOCKS5. The proxy even lets you reconfigure the connection dynamically and seamlessly as you change the IP to bypass regional restrictions and blockages.

Benefits of 4chan proxies

• Both network scalability and anonymity. Floppydata and similar proxy providers claim to have “millions of IP addresses around the world.” With “hundreds of thousands of unique IP addresses,” Floppydata is able to provide a high degree of anonymity that does not easily reveal user and account identity. This makes identifying and tracking users highly resistant to attempted blocks and tracking.  
• Excellent performance. Floppydata users comment on the “high connection speed and minimal delays,” which is a result of the provider having high-quality proxy servers that minimize latency and maximize uptime. Because of this feature users do not need to wait for a server response when mass data collection on 4chan.  
• Variety and balance in proxy options. With the large range of services offered by Floppydata and similar providers, users can optimally tailor the mobile, residential, datacenter, and ISP proxies to the specifics of their tasks, easily switching between proxy types with no restrictions. This balance and variety gives users the ability to highly enhance their work when needed.
• Security and Privacy. Proxies obfuscate data revealing your identity on the Internet. ‘Masking the Real Location’ makes it more difficult to analyze and restrict individuals in external systems. You gain more privacy than in a direct connection.  

Who are they useful for?

• Anonymous users. Anyone who wishes to retain their identity during 4chan surfing can do so using a proxy. It will bypass censorship to defend unmonitored engagement in controversial dialogues.  
• OSINT specialists and researchers. Open data lone wolves examining 4chan data need to maintain invisibility from trackers of ‘cybersecurity specialists and OSINT who use the service to access and analyze data anonymously.’ Proxies secure data collection with minimized risk of exposure and disclosure.  
• Developers and QA engineers. Developers testing 4chan content downloading applications can simulate a range of geodata and IPs. They use a proxy to see how the service responds to requests from certain countries. This is handy for debugging GEO-related mobile applications.
• Proxies assist marketers, community owners, advertisers, arbitrators, and forum moderators in content promotion and management. Proxies simplify multi-account management, streamline campaign scaling, and allow concurrent support of several accounts on 4chan.  
• Community managers, forum moderators, and administrators frequently utilize proxies for resource management, user activity surveillance, and circumventing provider locks. Apart from managing user activity, moderators also protect themselves against DDoS attacks and gain unobstructed control of the resource, eliminating the likelihood of triggering antispam measures.

Why Floppydata

Using Floppydata for 4chan provides several benefits as the service surveys and quickly limits access to ‘dirty’ public IP addresses. Proxies allow for ‘clean’ resident and mobile IP addresses which means posts and threads can be created and pass through unnecessary blocking. The board users encounter constant captchas and unnecessary checks.  

4chan proxies are now easier, predictable, and more convenient to use. Floppydata provides stability, security, and the ability to control debates, moderate, and launch threads while managing multi-user accounts.
