I think WEBSHARE.IO must be removed from GSA SER
I was using webshare.io for some time with GSA SER. One day they contacted me asking for the purposes I am using their service.
I clearly answered - for GSA. The answer - thanks, everything is OK. Two weeks later I extended my subscription for another month and a couple of days later proxies stopped working.
No email message, nothing - on their dashboard - account suspended.
After contacting support I got an answer that one of their proxies I used was blacklisted in spam databases, so they banned my account without any refund.
Webshare sent me a link to complain - it seems one of their IP was reported by someone for spam.
But it is the nature of any automated SEO tool.
Let's look at what offers webshare.io exactly:
- https://www.webshare.io/l/gsa-proxy-server
- https://www.webshare.io/l/rankerx-proxy-server
They asked me to provide government ID verification to "maybe" unban the account.
But I don't share my government issued documents left and right to unknown companies/individuals over the internet.
So in conclusion webshare.io will ban your account and keep your money for a single IP report to any spam database.
About the service in general:
Almost all freshly bought IPs already are blacklisted and banned, the success ratio of SEO tools is very low due to this.

There is plan builder - you can choose with limits, or not.
I only use webshare for GSA with 250 shared proxies and a 5000G data limit. Today I got their dreaded compliance email.
Thanksfully, I've been actively testing GSA Proxy Server since any proxy provider is a point of failure. I'm glad I did.
Kind of strange, since webshare is well known for tons of ScrapeBox users and I have no idea what would trigger this sort of email from the stuff I'm doing. Anyways, this sort of behaviour from a service provider of proxies warrants a down vote from me.
This is what I did and was reinstated in a few hours
