Shifter launches free web proxy using residential IPs in 54 countries

Shifter announced the launch of Shifter Web Proxy, described as a free web proxy that routes traffic through residential IPs in 54 countries. According to the company, it requires no signup, shows no ads and needs nothing installed; users select a country to view sites as local visitors would. Shifter said most free proxies rely on datacenter IPs, citing its test of 17 in which CroxyProxy, ProxySite, Proxyium, KProxy and Hidester all did, leading to captchas and blocks. Shifter claims its residential IPs make sites see a normal local visitor.
