Why use proxies for load testing?
Proxies allow you to emulate authentic user traffic, giving you an accurate understanding of how your server might react to traffic spikes without triggering CAPTCHAs or IP blocks.
What you can do:
- Bypass rate-limiters and WAFs (Web Application Firewalls) that stop synthetic traffic
- Test how load balancing performs under realistic large-scale traffic conditions
- Identify bottlenecks that only surface with geographically diverse requests
- Test API endpoint performance from regions where your actual users are located
How to run a successful load test with our proxies
- Set your baseline. Run a quick test on your local network before adding proxies to benchmark response times and throughput.
- Connect to your existing toolstack. Our proxies work with JMeter, K6, Locust, Gatling, and other popular load testing tools. Just point your tool to our rotating gateway address, and you're set.
- Test CDN and edge logic by region. Route load through specific locales to verify your CDN serves localized content correctly when traffic spikes.
- Ramp up your test scope. We offer unlimited concurrent connections, so you can scale from tens to thousands of emulated users without bottlenecks.
- Compare against your baseline. Trace latency jumps, error frequency, and response times back to what's actually breaking in your stack and apply fixes.

Use our proxies for all your testing needs
Our residential proxies work across different testing scenarios:
- Load testing. Check how your system performs under peak traffic conditions.
- Stress testing. Push your system beyond its limits to find breaking points and develop recovery behavior.
- Performance testing. Measure overall speed, scalability, and reliability across different conditions.
- Resilience testing. Test how your system handles regional outages, CDN failovers, and uneven traffic distribution.
High-impact scenarios for load testing with proxies

Frequently asked questions
Do Decodo proxies work with JMeter, K6, Locust, and other tools?
Yes, Decodo works with JMeter, K6, Locust, and other tools. In fact, it works with any integration that supports HTTP(S) or SOCKS5.
What’s the difference between a load balancer and a proxy?
A load balancer controls where incoming traffic goes, distributing requests across backend servers so no single machine gets overwhelmed. Proxies change where your traffic comes from, routing requests through different IP addresses to simulate real users across different locations.
Can I simulate a DDoS-style traffic pattern?
Yes, you can simulate a DDoS attack on your own systems for testing purposes. Make sure you follow your organization’s and legal guidelines before doing the test.
