Test Thordata Residential Proxies Free: Get Up to 500MB for Your First Project

New users can test Thordata Residential Proxies with up to 500MB of trial traffic, then save an extra 10% on an eligible order with coupon code thor020.

Choosing a proxy provider is easier when you can test the actual network before committing to a paid plan. Thordata gives eligible new users up to 500MB of free Residential Proxy trial traffic, so you can check location accuracy, connection stability, session behavior, and compatibility with your workflow.

When the pilot is complete, use coupon code thor020 at checkout to receive an additional 10% discount on an eligible order. Start with a small, authorized test, measure the results, and scale only when the proxy performance fits your requirements.

What You Can Test with 500MB

A 500MB trial is designed for a focused proof of concept rather than an unlimited production workload. It is enough to test a representative sample of your project before choosing a traffic plan.

  • Location accuracy: Check whether requests appear from the country, city, state, or ASN you selected.
  • Connection quality: Measure response time, successful requests, timeouts, and connection resets.
  • Session behavior: Compare rotating sessions for broad collection with sticky sessions for multi-step workflows.
  • Tool compatibility: Connect the proxy to Python, cURL, Playwright, Selenium, or your existing scraper.
  • Target compatibility: Test the public pages and regions that matter to your business.

Use synthetic or non-sensitive requests during the trial. Do not send passwords, API keys, payment details, personal information, or confidential business data through a newly configured endpoint.

Why Use Residential Proxies?

Residential proxies route requests through IP addresses associated with residential internet service providers. For permitted public-web workflows, this can provide a more realistic regional network path than a single data-center IP.

Common business use cases include:

  • Web scraping and public data collection
  • Local SEO and SERP monitoring
  • E-commerce price and availability monitoring
  • Ad verification and campaign quality checks
  • Market research across multiple countries
  • Website and localization testing
  • Authorized browser automation

Residential proxies do not make restricted activity permissible and do not guarantee that every request will succeed. Your team remains responsible for authorization, applicable law, target-site terms, and responsible request rates.

How to Start the Free Residential Proxy Test

  1. Create a Thordata account. Register on the official website and open the proxy dashboard.
  2. Choose Residential Proxies. Select the Residential Proxy trial or the available new-user offer in your account.
  3. Configure a small test. Select one or two target locations and a limited set of permitted URLs.
  4. Choose a session mode. Use rotating sessions for broad sampling or a sticky session when the workflow needs continuity.
  5. Run your benchmark. Record success rate, response time, location, HTTP status, and useful records returned.
  6. Review the results. Compare the trial performance with your existing setup and estimate the traffic required for production.
  7. Apply the coupon when ordering. Enter thor020 at checkout to receive an extra 10% off an eligible order.

Start your Residential Proxy free trial and use the official setup documentation if you need help configuring authentication, locations, or sessions.

What to Measure During the Pilot

MetricWhat to checkWhy it matters
Success ratePercentage of requests returning the expected page or recordShows whether the route is useful for the target
Response timeConnection time and time to first byteHelps estimate job duration and concurrency needs
LocationObserved IP, country, city, and ASNConfirms that localized results are trustworthy
Session stabilityWhether the IP remains consistent when requiredImportant for browser and multi-request workflows
Useful outputValid records after filtering errors and duplicatesConnects proxy spend to the actual business result

Rotating or Sticky: Which Should You Test?

Rotating Residential Proxies are a good starting point for broad collection, search-result monitoring, catalog discovery, and multi-location sampling. The IP can change between requests or according to the session settings.

Sticky Residential Sessions are better when several requests should follow the same network identity. They can be useful for browser automation, repeated page checks, and workflows where continuity matters more than maximum IP diversity.

Test both modes if your project includes more than one workflow. The correct choice depends on the target behavior, not on a universal “best” setting.

How to Use the 10% Coupon

After your trial, choose the Residential Proxy plan that matches your expected traffic. At checkout, enter thor020 in the coupon or promotion field and confirm that the discount is shown before payment.

Promotion eligibility, available plans, and pricing can change. If the code is not accepted, check that you are signed in to the correct account, that the order meets the promotion requirements, and that the offer is still active. The final price and eligibility shown at checkout control the transaction.

Who Should Use This Trial?

The 500MB offer is a practical fit for:

  • Developers testing a new proxy integration
  • SEO teams validating local search visibility
  • E-commerce teams piloting price monitoring
  • Agencies comparing regional data collection workflows
  • QA teams testing localized pages and checkout flows
  • Data teams estimating production bandwidth before procurement

For high-volume jobs, use the trial to measure your real bandwidth consumption first. A small benchmark makes it easier to select a plan and avoid paying for unused traffic.

Start with a Small Test, Then Scale with Confidence

A free trial is most useful when it answers specific operational questions. Test the locations you need, use a realistic but limited workload, measure successful data rather than raw requests, and document the results. If the network fits your project, apply thor020 at checkout for an extra 10% discount on an eligible order.
