MarsProxies

What Is MarsProxies?

You’re trying to browse, scrape, automate, or manage accounts without getting rate-limited, geo-blocked, or tied to a single IP that burns out in an hour. That’s the job MarsProxies is built for: giving you proxy endpoints (HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5) you can plug into a browser, app, or script so traffic appears to come from other IP addresses and locations.

MarsProxies sits in the “proxy provider + proxy management tooling” lane, not the classic consumer VPN lane. The product set is organized around proxy types (residential is the most prominently documented on their site), and the company also ships companion tools like browser extensions and mobile apps aimed at quick switching and easier setup. Their Android app routes device traffic through HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5 proxies using Android’s VpnService API (so it can apply beyond just Wi‑Fi proxy settings).

Distinctive bits you actually feel day-to-day: (1) traffic-based residential pricing with “non-expiring traffic,” meaning you’re buying GB that don’t time out on a monthly clock; (2) sticky sessions configurable up to multi-day durations (documented as 1 second to 7 days for residential sticky sessions); and (3) a focus on usability features (extensions, proxy checker, mobile apps) rather than enterprise-only controls.

MarsProxies Features and Performance

MarsProxies supports the core proxy protocols you’d expect for this category—HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5—across its proxy products, and the residential product page explicitly calls out HTTP/HTTPS & SOCKS5 support. (marsproxies.com) That’s important because it determines what kinds of clients you can use (browser-level HTTP(S) proxy settings vs. system-level / application-level SOCKS5 support in many automation stacks).

On residential proxies specifically, MarsProxies emphasizes two operating modes: rotating sessions and sticky sessions. Sticky sessions are documented as configurable from 1 second up to 7 days, which is a legitimate differentiator for workflows like account management, long-running scrapers, or anything that breaks when your IP changes mid-session. (marsproxies.com)

Location coverage is a selling point, and your database specs match what MarsProxies markets: the residential page lists 190+ locations and claims over 1M IPs in that footprint. (marsproxies.com) (Note: third-party directories and reviews sometimes quote much larger pool sizes; because those figures vary widely depending on the source and date, this review sticks to what MarsProxies itself publishes on its residential page plus your verified database counts.)

On performance, MarsProxies makes a quantified claim for residential: an average 98.4% success rate. (marsproxies.com) Treat that as their internal metric, not an independent benchmark. Independent review platforms reflect generally positive satisfaction but don’t provide standardized lab-grade throughput numbers. For example, G2 shows a small review sample with a high average rating, but it’s still just user feedback, not a controlled performance test. (g2.com) Trustpilot feedback is mixed in the way proxies always are: many users praise stability/support, while some complain about proxy quality or uptime on specific products (notably mobile proxies in at least one recent complaint). (trustpilot.com)

Security architecture in proxy services is mostly about: what’s logged, how access is controlled, and whether traffic content is inspected. MarsProxies highlights “dual authentication” for residential use cases (typically meaning user/pass and/or IP allowlisting, though the page doesn’t fully define the mechanism) and also documents operational security controls like two-factor authentication (2FA) for account protection in its Privacy Policy. (marsproxies.com)

Finally, the “DNS & Private Browsing” angle: MarsProxies publishes mobile apps positioned as proxy managers for iOS and Android, with “one-tap” switching and the ability to route device traffic through a proxy. The Android listing explicitly states it uses Android’s VpnService to direct traffic through a proxy, which can matter if you need proxying on mobile data (where system proxy settings often don’t apply). This is not the same thing as a privacy-focused DNS service (like DoH/DoT resolver products), but it can impact what DNS is used depending on the app’s routing and the proxy type—MarsProxies doesn’t publish a clear, verifiable “DNS product” spec on the pages reviewed here, so we’re not going to over-claim it.

Pricing and Plans

MarsProxies pricing varies by product type. The clearest, source-verifiable structure is on residential proxies, which are sold by bandwidth (GB) with tiered per‑GB rates.

On the residential pricing table, the smallest purchase shown is 1 GB at $4.99/GB (with volume discounts as you buy more GB). The page also explicitly states that residential traffic is non-expiring (“Access never-expiring traffic that remains available indefinitely”). (marsproxies.com) That’s a real difference versus “monthly GB” plans where unused bandwidth disappears at renewal.

Payment options listed on the residential page include credit cards, Alipay, PayPal, and various cryptocurrencies (described as available for “monthly or pay-as-you-go plans”). (marsproxies.com) The residential page also states there is no free trial, and suggests buying the minimum amount of traffic to test. (marsproxies.com)

Refund policy is where a lot of proxy buyers get surprised. MarsProxies’ Terms of Service say subscription fees and fees for continuous services are non-cancelable and non-refundable, with a narrow exception: if the service is inactive/defective during the first 24 hours due to reasons beyond the client’s actions and MarsProxies can’t fix it within that same 24-hour period, a full refund for the faulty service may apply—assuming you notify them promptly. That’s not a standard “7-day money-back guarantee,” and it’s important to read it as written.

Because MarsProxies sells multiple proxy categories (residential, ISP, datacenter, mobile are referenced across independent review listings and MarsProxies’ own navigation), expect different pricing units across lines: residential tends to be GB-based, while dedicated/ISP/datacenter are often priced per IP per time period in this industry. However, exact prices for the non-residential categories weren’t consistently verifiable from the sources opened here, so this review won’t pin down numbers for those plans.

Privacy and Security Assessment

Jurisdiction: Your verified database lists Republic of Panama, and MarsProxies’ own site identifies the company (Comet Tech Inc.) as incorporated in Panama with an address in Panama City. Panama is commonly chosen by privacy-focused services because it’s outside the US/UK/EU “Five Eyes / Fourteen Eyes” intelligence-sharing framing; that said, jurisdiction is only one variable. What matters just as much is what the provider logs, and how they respond to legal demands.

Logging / traffic collection claims: MarsProxies’ Privacy Policy contains an “Important Clarification” stating it does not collect or store proxy traffic (no browsing histories of visited websites/content/data transmitted through proxy connections) while acknowledging it may collect technical logs for account activity within its system (including IP addresses, session metadata, device/browser info, and interaction data in the dashboard), retained for limited periods for security and operations. That’s a fairly standard stance for proxy providers: “no content logs,” but “some service metadata.”

There is a potential inconsistency worth calling out: an HTTPS proxies page states they operate a “zero-logs policy,” but also says “Only request count and target domain names are visible to us.” Domain-level visibility is, by definition, a form of metadata logging/observability, and it doesn’t perfectly align with a simplistic “zero logs” slogan. The Privacy Policy is the more formal, detailed document; if you’re evaluating privacy risk, treat the Privacy Policy language as the baseline and assume at least some technical metadata exists.

Security controls: The Privacy Policy explicitly mentions 2FA for account protection plus monitoring/logging of key system activities and other security measures. That’s good hygiene, but it’s not the same thing as an external security audit.

Independent audits / open-source: No independently verifiable third-party “no-logs audit” or open-source client posture was found in the sourced pages here. The mobile apps and extensions exist, but their source availability and auditing status weren’t confirmed in these sources, so we won’t claim they’re open source or audited.

Known incidents: No documented public security breach or major incident was confirmed in the sourced material reviewed for this write-up. User-review complaints do exist (quality issues, support frustration, pricing/value disputes), but those are not equivalent to a confirmed security incident. (trustpilot.com)

Strengths and Limitations

Strengths

• Non-expiring residential traffic is clearly documented and reduces “use it or lose it” pressure. (marsproxies.com)
• Sticky sessions up to 7 days are explicitly supported on residential, which is useful for session-dependent workflows. (marsproxies.com)
• HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5 support is stated on the residential page and reflected across their tooling claims. (marsproxies.com)
• Mobile routing option (Android app via VpnService) gives a path to device-wide proxying without root.
• Clear no-free-trial disclosure (you’re told up front to test with minimal traffic). (marsproxies.com)

Limitations / trade-offs

• Refund posture is strict. The Terms describe subscriptions/continuous services as non-refundable, with a narrow 24-hour defect exception.
• “Zero logs” messaging is muddy. Marketing language can conflict with more nuanced policy language about technical logs and domain visibility.
• Performance is target-dependent. Reviews show both happy users and harsh complaints; you should expect to test on your actual target sites. (trustpilot.com)

Who Should Use MarsProxies?

Good fit if you are:

1. A scraper/SEO operator on a budget who wants residential rotation plus the option for long sticky sessions, and prefers buying bandwidth that doesn’t expire. (marsproxies.com)
2. A small team doing account management or geo-checking that benefits from city-level targeting and quick switching workflows (extensions/mobile apps), without needing enterprise procurement. (marsproxies.com)
3. A mobile user who needs proxy routing beyond Wi‑Fi proxy settings and is okay using an app that implements routing via Android’s VpnService.

Not a great fit if you are:

1. A buyer who expects a traditional money-back guarantee. MarsProxies’ refund exception is narrow and time-boxed.
2. A high-assurance privacy purist who requires a published independent audit and crystal-clear, consistent “no logs” commitments across all documentation.
3. An uptime-intolerant mobile-proxy user who can’t afford product variability; user reviews include at least some serious complaints about mobile proxy reliability/value. (trustpilot.com)
