How South Africa proxies work
Every request egresses through an exit node physically located in South Africa, so the target site sees a local residential, ISP, mobile, or datacenter IP. No SDK required — configure Helodata's gateway as an HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5 proxy and authenticate with user/pass or an IP allowlist. See integration examples for LangChain, Scrapy, Playwright, and the rest.
