Own your egress — not a reseller

Proxy & scrape the web from IPs you actually own.

bytetourist routes every request through your own multi-cloud edge fleet — 10 routing strategies, residential / datacenter / mobile IPs, TLS-fingerprint spoofing and per-node circuit breaking. No reselling, no 30% bandwidth tax.

The platform

An entire proxy network, not a single rotating IP

Everything a scraping or data team needs at the egress layer — and you own all of it.

Egress you own

Your own fleet, autoscaled across 8+ clouds (AWS, Fly, Hetzner, E2B and India-first providers). You own the IPs — no reseller markup, no per-GB tax.

10 routing strategies

round_robin, freshest_ip, ip_rotation, lowest_latency, session_affinity, cost_aware and more — chosen per request, not per account.

Residential · datacenter · mobile

Pick the IP class per call, or escalate from datacenter to residential to mobile when a target gets strict.

Anti-bot, built in

Browser-grade TLS / JA3 fingerprints via tls-client, with a headless-Chrome fallback (go-rod) for the hard targets.

Per-node circuit breaking

Unhealthy edges trip out automatically; requests fall back to a healthy node in the same region with zero retries on your side.

Multi-tenant by design

Orgs, API keys, plan quotas and per-request usage metered to ClickHouse — wired for usage-based billing.

Routing

Pick how each request finds its IP

Ten selection strategies, set per request via a single header or username param.

round_robinEven rotation across the eligible fleet — the sensible default.
freshest_ipThe least-recently-used IP for this (org, host) — maximum variability.
ip_rotationDeterministic rotation scoped per (org, target host).
lowest_latencyPick the node with the best measured p50 to tame tail latency.
least_connectionsSend to the least-busy node — natural load levelling.
session_affinityPin a session id to one IP for multi-step flows.
ip_hashStable node per client IP — sticky without session state.
weighted_round_robinBias rotation by node weight / capacity.
cost_awarePrefer cheaper egress when the latency budget allows.
randomUniform random pick — the cheapest possible selection.
How it works

Authenticate → match → egress → observe

A direct gRPC stream from core to edge — no broker on the hot path.

Authenticate

Send your API key as the proxy username. Encode targeting right in the username or via X-Proxy-* headers.

Match

Core filters the live fleet by region / country / ip_type, then selects one node using your chosen strategy.

Egress

The edge node makes the real outbound call from its own IP and streams the response straight back to you.

Observe

Every request is metered to ClickHouse while the scaler grows, recycles and heals the fleet automatically.

Why bytetourist

The layer everyone else rents

Scraping APIs and unblockers buy their bandwidth. bytetourist owns it.

bytetourist — the layer you own

  • Owned multi-cloud egress — no per-GB reseller markup
  • Routing intelligence: 10 strategies, per-(org, host) rotation
  • TLS / JA3 fingerprinting at the transport layer
  • Autoscaling, self-healing fleet across 8+ providers
  • Multi-tenant orgs, quotas & usage metering built in

Renting proxies / scraping APIs

  • Bandwidth bought at ~30% of revenue as COGS
  • One “rotating proxy” knob — take it or leave it
  • Anti-bot locked inside a cloud-only black box
  • You scale nothing — and you pay for that
  • Tenancy & billing are your problem

Ship your first request in two minutes.

Point your client at the proxy, send your key, and pick a country. That’s it.
