Since the 911s5 proxy shut down and ran away, all cross-border workers and studios have been looking for an alternative to the 911s5 proxy. The following are the currently popular proxy software with client on the market.
⦁ Yilu Proxy: https://yilu.us/
⦁ PiaProxy: https://www.PiaProxy.com/
At present, both Yilu Proxy and PiaProxy claim to be the perfect alternative to 911s5, and both use 911s5 proxy as a promotional gimmick. Here I would like to give you a comparison between Yilu Proxy and PiaProxy and analyze them in all respects to get who is the real 911s5 alternative.

1. Interface
A. Yilu Proxy:
From the interface, the Yilu Proxy is a bit like an advanced product of 911s5 proxy, instead of an imitator of 911s5. The Yilu Proxy inherits the family residential IP plus port forwarding mode of the 911s5 proxy and supports the country, state, and city IP targeting. Its UE layout is somewhat similar to 911s5, but the functions of UA are still different.
At the same time, you can one-click extract IP information with HTTP and Socks5, or by scanning a mobile QR code. The Yilu Proxy also supports the simplified Chinese interface and in-client registration and top-up. It uses a highly anonymous global acceleration transfer server, which means that Chinese users can download and use it with no need third-party for auxiliary acceleration. The above improvements are user-friendly and convenient.

B. PiaProxy:
Also from the interface, PiaProxy is indeed more like a replica of 911s5, and the layout of UE and the functions of UA are almost identical to 911s5.
The PiaProxy inherits the family residential IP plus port forwarding mode of the 911s5 proxy and supports the country, state, city, and ZIP targeting. It supports traditional Chinese interface and in-client registration. At the same time, more package modes and payment channels have been added.
But PiaProxy has a fatal drawback, that is, it cannot be used directly in mainland China. You need to enable an additional global mode third-party auxiliary software acceleration on the local machine, such as VPN. That is to say, users in mainland China must first make the local network an external network environment before they can use it.

2. Operating Platform

Yilu Proxy can only be used in windows systems, while PiaProxy can be used in two systems: windows and macOS.

3. Download Speed in Chinese Environment.

⦁ What is worth noting here is that in the Chinese environment, the YiLu Proxy software downloads quickly and without obstacles.

⦁ In the Chinese environment, the PiaProxy software download was unsuccessful several times, and it did not work even after changing multiple browsers. Finally, I set the computer environment to an overseas network environment in order to complete the download of PiaProxy software.

4. Price and Payment.

A. Yilu Proxy: It has a relatively high price, and only supports Alipay and USDT TRC2.0.. there are two types of package price: static proxy by piece and dynamic proxy by traffic.

(1) Shared Static IPs: $0.1 per IP for 24 hours online. Unlimited traffic, bandwidth, and requests.

(2) Dedicated Static IPs: $5 per IP for 30 days online. Unlimited traffic, bandwidth, and requests.

(3) Dynamic IPs: The cost of traffic is diversified by the amount you charge.

⦁ Alipay

Recharge 100RMB and you can get 110: dynamic residential IP(country) 80/G, dynamic residential IP(city) 99/G, and dynamic server IP 7/G.

Recharge 500RMB and you can get 575: dynamic residential IP(country) 70/G, dynamic residential IP(city) 90/G, and dynamic server IP 6.5/G.

Recharge 1000RMB and you can get 1200: dynamic residential IP(country) 60/G, dynamic residential IP(city) 85/G, and dynamic server IP 6/G.

⦁ USDT TRC2.0

Recharge 100USDT, the recorded amount is 700RMB: dynamic residential IP(country) 60/G, dynamic residential IP(city) 85/G, dynamic server IP 6/G.

Recharge 500USDT, the recorded amount is 3500RMB: dynamic residential IP(country) 50/G, dynamic residential IP(city) 80/G, dynamic server IP 5.5/G.

Recharge 1000USDT, the recorded amount is 7000RMB: dynamic residential IP(country) 35/G, dynamic residential IP(city) 75/G, dynamic server IP 5/G.

B. PiaProxy:
It supports many payment methods, in addition to Alipay and USDT TRC2.0, it also supports overseas credit cards, UnionPay, BTC, ETH, and Apple/Google Pay, etc. There are more payment options for users.

There are four types of package prices:
(1) Popular Plan: $0.05-$0.3 per IP. Similar to 911s5 proxy, it has unlimited traffic and its time validity is out of control.
(2) Enterprise Plan: $0.1-$0.58 per IP. It has unlimited traffic and its time validity is between 6-12 hours.
(3) Static Plan: $0.5-$3 per IP. It has unlimited traffic and its time validity is 24 hours.
(4) Unlimited Plan: $199 per day. It has unlimited traffic and IPs.

5. Configuration Mode
Similar to 911s5 proxy, both PiaProxy and Yilu Proxy use the configuration mode of proxy IP plus port forwarding.
While the Yilu Proxy has one more configuration mode:
HTTP and socks proxy info one-click extraction. It means it can be used when the client is turn off. Just copy each proxy info(IP:port:username:password) and configure it into third-party software, such as antidetect browser, shadowrocket, and v2rayNG. While port forwarding must connect the proxy software client and third-party software on the same computer or in the same local area network.
The Yilu Proxy also supports cell phone QR code extraction. The proxy IP information can be entered quickly through the scanning function of the third-party software, such as shadowrocket and v2rayNG.

6.Types of Proxy
A. Yilu Proxy:
(1) Shared Static IPs: Static IPs from the data center. Shared means the same IP may be used by multiple people at the same time.
(2) Dedicated Static IPs: Static IPs from the data center. The IP is only used by one person at the same time, which is different from the shared one.
(3) Rotating Residential IPs: Home ISP broadband IPs. So the dynamic residential IP address of Yilu Proxy is the same as the IP address of the home user. It supports country or city targeting.
(4) Rotating Server IPs: Server IPs from the data center. Compared with rotating residential IPs and static IPs, it has a poorer quality. And it only supports country targeting.
⦁ Dynamic refers to the temporary assignment of an IP address every time you surf the Internet. The IP address is rotated and not fixed, which is also characteristic of residential IP.
⦁ In general, rotating residential IP is the highest quality, and shared static IP is the lowest quality. Rotating Residential IP>Dedicated Static IP>Rotating Server IP>Share Static IP

B. PiaProxy:
Like 911s5 proxy, they have four plans for static residential IPs that have no difference in quality but in time validity.
(1) Popular Plan: Ranging from several hours to several days, the time validity depends on luck.
(2) Enterprise Plan: The time validity is 6-12 hours.
(3) Static Plan: The time validity is fixed for 24 hours.
(4) Unlimited Plan: IPs are unlimited to use in 24 hours.

7. Proxy Protocol

A. Yilu Proxy: Both dynamic IP and static IP support Socks5, while dynamic IP supports Socks5 and HTTP.

B. PiaProxy: Only supports Socks5. In general, the Socks5 proxy protocol is better than HTTP in terms of both network speed and IP anonymity, and HTTP has the advantage of better compatibility.

8. IP Quality

It is difficult to define whether the IP quality is good or not of the two proxies. Because it is affected by many factors: such as the login environment, the login platform, the operation of the business practices, and the registration or login account information. In my experience, dynamic residential IP is relatively better than other types of IP. In most cases, users log in to the website with a home residential proxy, and dynamic residential IP is the home broadband IP. Static residential IP addresses are fixed and are generally suitable for corporate use. So, at this point, I think the dynamic residential IP of Yilu Proxy is relatively closer to most application scenarios.

9. Work with the Third-Party Software.

Both two proxies can work with all third-party software in the market. Devices of iOS and Android can configure and integrate with an emulator, antidetect browser, shadowrocket, and v2rayNG. Due to the dynamic IP of Yilu Proxy can realize one-click extraction and mobile QR code extraction, its configuration with third-party software will be more convenient and flexible.

10. API

Both two proxies support API.

11. Customer Service
Either Yilu Proxy or PiaProxy supports 24-hour customer service and email customer service in both English and Chinese, whose replies are timely and professional. And the tutorials are also detailed and easy to understand.

Conclusion
