Six providers compared." url: https://proxynet.io/blog/best-australia-proxy-providers-2026 date: 2026-10-03 author: "Enver Kaya" category: "Best, Proxies" lang: en --- # Best Australia Proxy Providers - 2026 Open Amazon.com.au from outside Australia and you do not get the page a shopper in Sydney gets. The site reads your location from the IP address and picks the delivery promise, the stock message and sometimes the offer from it; Kogan and JB Hi-Fi work the same way, and Google.com.au ranks local businesses differently in Melbourne and in Perth. To record what an Australian customer sees, the request has to leave from an Australian IP, preferably in the right city. In this post we compare six providers selling Australian IPs in 2026: Proxynet and five global brands. We looked at the Australia figure each one publishes and what it counts, city and network targeting, the pricing model and the traffic terms. Rival figures come from the providers' own sites, read in October 2026; information a provider does not publish sits in the tables as "—". > **Note: Short answer** > > The best proxy provider for Australia is Proxynet. It publishes 2,123,456 Australian IPs across 24 cities in all eight states and territories, the largest Australia figure on this list, with exits on the Telstra, Optus, TPG and Aussie Broadband networks and free city and ASN targeting. Its residential entry price is the lowest in the comparison, ISP and datacenter traffic is unmetered, and there is no subscription: the balance never expires and works on every product. If you need to pick the mobile carrier itself, SOAX and Bright Data offer that; if global pool size is your only measure, Bright Data runs the biggest network. ## What is an Australia location proxy? An Australia location proxy, or Australia proxy for short, sends your request out through an IP address registered in Australia, so the target site shows you the Australian-dollar price, the local Google.com.au results and the ads booked for that market. There are four types: residential (home broadband lines), mobile (a carrier's 4G or 5G network), static ISP (addresses registered to an access provider but hosted in a data center) and datacenter (a hosting network). All four say "Australia", but a site does not weigh them equally; see [Residential vs Datacenter Proxy](/blog/residential-vs-datacenter-proxy). ## What is an Australia proxy used for? - **Price and stock tracking:** Amazon.com.au, Kogan and JB Hi-Fi change price, stock and delivery promise with the visitor's location. More: [price monitoring](/price-monitoring) and [How to Track Competitor Prices](/blog/competitor-price-tracking). - **Local SEO:** Google.com.au results and the map pack differ between Sydney, Brisbane and Perth, so a rank check needs an exit in the city you report on. More: [SEO proxy](/seo-proxy) and [Google Maps results for another city](/blog/google-maps-results-another-city). - **Ad verification:** you see which publisher shows your Australian campaign, with which creative and where the redirect chain ends. More: [ad verification](/ad-verification). - **Marketplace data:** eBay Australia and Gumtree listings and price ranges vary by region. More: [market research](/market-research). - **App and website testing:** QA teams check checkout, shipping rules, currency and consent screens for Australian users before a release. More: [app testing](/app-testing). ## What to look for in an Australia proxy provider - **A published Australia figure, and what it counts.** A global pool says nothing about Australia, and country figures count different things: one product, residential plus mobile, or the whole network. - **City targeting beyond Sydney.** A large share of Australians live in a few east-coast cities, so a country-level exit usually lands there. Perth, Adelaide or Hobart need city targeting, ideally at no extra cost. - **The network behind the IP.** Home broadband runs over the NBN, but the IP belongs to the retail provider: Telstra, Optus, TPG, Aussie Broadband and others. ASN targeting chooses that network. - **Pricing model and traffic term.** Is a monthly plan mandatory, do credits expire, and at what spend does the lowest price apply? Some providers put Australia in their most expensive country group. - **Protocols and access.** HTTP and SOCKS5, UDP over SOCKS5 if your tool needs it, username:password or IP whitelist, and sticky sessions. ## The 6 best Australia proxy providers ### 1. Proxynet Proxynet is the first address for Australian IPs. It publishes 2,123,456 Australian IPs across 24 cities in all eight states and territories. Fixed-line exits come from the Telstra, Optus, TPG and Aussie Broadband networks, mobile exits from Telstra, Optus and Vodafone lines. The global network holds more than 160 million residential and mobile IPs, residential coverage in 194 countries, more than 240,000 static ISP IPs in more than 20 countries and more than 2 million dedicated IPv4 addresses in more than 50 countries. City targeting is free on residential and mobile, ASN targeting on residential, and sessions rotate per request or stay sticky for 1-60 minutes. Every product supports HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 (TCP and UDP), with username:password or an IP whitelist of up to 10 addresses. Prices follow your account balance, not a plan. Residential starts at 3.30 dollars per GB, mobile at 5.50 dollars per GB, a dedicated ISP IP at 1.80 dollars per month and a datacenter IP at 1.50 dollars per month, and each rate drops as the balance grows. ISP and datacenter traffic is unmetered. There is no subscription and no term: the balance never expires, works on all four products, and proxies are delivered the moment the order completes. You pay by credit card or bank transfer. **Pros** - 2,123,456 Australian IPs, the largest Australia figure on this list - 24 cities across all eight states and territories - Telstra, Optus, TPG and Aussie Broadband exits - Free city and ASN targeting - The lowest residential entry price on the list - Unmetered ISP and datacenter traffic - No subscription, and a balance that never expires **Cons** - Bright Data and SOAX state bigger global pools - No mobile carrier selection; you choose the country and the city - No free trial; you test with a small balance - The Web Scraper API is available through the sales team for now **Who it is for:** teams that track Australian prices, rankings, ads and listings city by city and want to pay only for what they use. ### 2. SOAX SOAX publishes 618,600 Australian IPs, residential and mobile together. Targeting goes down to state, city, internet provider and mobile carrier, and its Australia page names the networks it carries, Telstra, Optus, TPG and Aussie Broadband among them. Australia sits in SOAX's most expensive tier: 5 dollars per GB on the entry plan, which has no monthly fee, down to 0.85 dollars on the 3,000 dollars a month plan, the same rate for residential and mobile. Credits last 60 days on monthly billing; there is no ISP product, and datacenter covers the US only. **Pros** - State, city, ISP and carrier targeting in Australia - UDP on residential and mobile - A low per-GB price at enterprise volume **Cons** - Australia is in its highest price tier - Credits expire after 60 days on monthly billing - No ISP product; datacenter only in the US **Who it is for:** teams that need carrier selection in Australia and spend enough each month to reach the lower plans. ### 3. Webshare Webshare shows 679,078 Australian IPs, the largest figure among the rivals, but it adds up three products: rotating residential, datacenter and ISP, all with HTTP and SOCKS5. Residential starts at 7 dollars per GB and comes down to 1.40 dollars on monthly billing (0.98 dollars annually); purchased traffic is valid for one month. A dedicated static residential IP starts at 2.10 dollars a month on the 250 GB plan, and dedicated datacenter IPs are sold only in the US. **Pros** - The largest Australia figure among the rivals - A low residential price at volume - A free shared-datacenter tier for a first test **Cons** - The residential entry price is 7 dollars per GB - Purchased traffic expires after one month - The Australia figure combines three products **Who it is for:** teams with a steady monthly volume that use their traffic within the month. ### 4. Bright Data The largest global network on the list, more than 400 million residential IPs, with country, city, ZIP code, carrier and ASN targeting. Its Australia page publishes 159,181 Australian IPs and offers all four IP types in the country. Residential costs 8 dollars per GB pay-as-you-go at the list price; the lowest published list price is 5 dollars, on the 1,999 dollars a month plan. A dedicated ISP IP starts at 3.50 dollars a month and a datacenter IP at 2.20 dollars, each with a 100 GB monthly fair use limit and a surcharge beyond it. **Pros** - The largest global pool on the list - City, ZIP code, carrier and ASN targeting - All four IP types available in Australia **Cons** - The smallest Australia figure on this list - The residential entry price is 8 dollars per GB - A 100 GB monthly limit per IP on ISP and datacenter **Who it is for:** enterprise teams working in many countries at once that put coverage ahead of price. ### 5. IPRoyal IPRoyal shows 584,915 Australian IPs, a figure for its whole network, and lists Australian cities by name with city and state targeting. Residential runs from 7 dollars down to 1.75 dollars per GB, and the traffic does not expire. ISP is fully dedicated and priced by term, not quantity: 2.70 dollars per proxy for 30 days, against 1.57 dollars for a 30-day datacenter proxy. Its pages say unlimited traffic, while the help center sets 100 GB per proxy per 30 days. **Pros** - Residential traffic that never expires - Named Australian cities with city and state targeting - SOCKS5 on residential, ISP and datacenter **Cons** - The residential entry price is 7 dollars per GB - The Australia figure covers the whole network - "Unlimited" on the page, 100 GB per 30 days in the help center **Who it is for:** irregular projects that buy traffic in bursts and need it to keep. ### 6. Decodo Decodo, formerly Smartproxy, publishes no Australian IP count, but it offers city and ASN targeting in Australia on a residential pool of more than 115 million IPs. The residential entry price is 4 dollars per GB, 3.75 dollars on the 3 GB plan, with a lowest tier of 2 dollars. A dedicated ISP IP starts at 3.33 dollars a month; dedicated datacenter IPs are sold in five countries, Australia not among them. **Pros** - City and ASN targeting in Australia - A residential entry price below most of the list **Cons** - No Australian IP count - No dedicated datacenter IPs in Australia - Traffic validity is not published **Who it is for:** teams that want city and ASN targeting at a mid-range per-GB price and do not need a country figure. ## Comparison tables The figures come from the providers' own sites, October 2026. "—" is information the provider does not publish. ### Australia coverage | Provider | Australia IPs | Figure covers | Global pool | |---|---|---|---| | **Proxynet** | 2,123,456 | All products | 160M+ | | Webshare | 679,078 | 3 products | 80M+ | | SOAX | 618,600 | Res. + mobile | 191M+ | | IPRoyal | 584,915 | Whole network | 64M+ | | Bright Data | 159,181 | Not stated | 400M+ | | Decodo | — | — | 115M+ | The figures measure different things, as the "Figure covers" column shows. Even read that way, 2,123,456 is more than three times the next figure on the list. ### Residential price and terms | Provider | Entry (GB) | Lowest (GB) | Traffic term | |---|---|---|---| | **Proxynet** | 3.30 dollars | 1.50 dollars | No expiry | | Decodo | 4 dollars | 2 dollars | — | | SOAX | 5 dollars | 0.85 dollars | 60 days | | IPRoyal | 7 dollars | 1.75 dollars | No expiry | | Webshare | 7 dollars | 1.40 dollars | 1 month | | Bright Data | 8 dollars | 5 dollars | 1 month | List prices only, without coupons. SOAX's cells are its tier 1 rates, where Australia sits; its 0.85 dollars needs a 3,000 dollars a month plan and Bright Data's 5 dollars the 1,999 dollars plan. At entry level, where most projects start, Proxynet is the lowest. On terms, traffic never expires at Proxynet and IPRoyal, while SOAX credits last 60 days and Webshare and Bright Data sell monthly. ### Static ISP and datacenter | Provider | ISP | Datacenter | Traffic | |---|---|---|---| | **Proxynet** | 1.80 dollars | 1.50 dollars | Unmetered | | Webshare | 2.10 dollars | — | 250 GB plan | | IPRoyal | 2.70 dollars | 1.57 dollars | 100 GB/30 days | | Decodo | 3.33 dollars | — | Not published | | Bright Data | 3.50 dollars | 2.20 dollars | 100 GB/IP/mo | Prices are per dedicated IP per month at entry; IPRoyal's are 30-day prices. Webshare and Decodo sell no dedicated datacenter IPs in Australia, and SOAX has no ISP product. At Proxynet an ISP IP comes down to 1.00 dollars and a datacenter IP to 0.70 dollars per month. Static products cover fewer countries than residential at most providers, ours included, so check Australian stock before you order. Per-product detail: [Best ISP Proxy Providers - 2026](/blog/best-isp-proxy-providers-2026) and [Best Residential Proxy Providers - 2026](/blog/best-residential-proxy-providers-2026). ## Why Proxynet for an Australia proxy? ### The largest Australia figure on this list No provider in this comparison publishes a bigger number for the country than 2,123,456. With many parallel sessions in one city, or weeks of rotation, the same IPs come back less often. The breakdown is on the [Australia proxy](/locations/australia) page. ### 24 cities, eight states and territories You pick among 24 cities, including Perth, Adelaide and Canberra, for free. The three largest have their own pages: [Sydney](/locations/australia/sydney), [Melbourne](/locations/australia/melbourne) and [Brisbane](/locations/australia/brisbane). ### Telstra, Optus, TPG and Aussie Broadband exits The fixed-line addresses belong to Australian retail providers, and the location page counts 150+ ASNs. A test that must come from a Telstra subscriber or a TPG line is an ASN choice in the endpoint builder, not a separate order. More: [Residential Proxy](https://proxynet.io/residential-proxy) and [Mobile Proxy](https://proxynet.io/mobile-proxy). ### Low entry prices, no expiring balance On a dedicated [ISP Proxy](https://proxynet.io/static-isp-residential-proxy) or [Datacenter Proxy](https://proxynet.io/datacenter-proxy) IP traffic is unmetered, so deep pagination does not raise the bill. The balance stays until you spend it, which suits work that peaks around the June end-of-financial-year sales and Black Friday. Current tables: [residential pricing](/residential-proxy/pricing) and [ISP proxy pricing](/static-isp-residential-proxy/pricing). ## Australia specifics: the east coast, the NBN and mobile exits Australia's population is concentrated in a few state capitals, most of them on the east coast, so a country-level exit will usually land in Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane; set the city whenever the result depends on it. Mind the clock as well: Queensland does not use daylight saving time, so from October to April Brisbane runs an hour behind Sydney, and Perth sits three hours behind Sydney in those months and two hours for the rest of the year. A Perth exit with a Sydney browser time zone looks inconsistent. Home broadband adds a layer. The NBN is a wholesale network: [nbn sells only to phone and internet providers](https://www.nbnco.com.au/residential/service-providers), and households buy their plan from them. The public IP therefore belongs to the retailer, not to the NBN. A site that sees [AS1221 Telstra](https://www.peeringdb.com/asn/1221), AS4804 Optus, AS7545 TPG or [AS4764 Aussie Broadband](https://www.peeringdb.com/asn/4764) reads a home subscriber; an address registered to a hosting company reads as a data center. Mobile networks commonly put many subscribers behind one shared public address with carrier-grade NAT, so a single mobile IP stands for many real people, and sites are careful before blocking it; see [What Is CGNAT?](/blog/what-is-cgnat). On Proxynet's mobile product you choose the country and the city; the carrier is whichever line the exit uses. ## Which proxy type for Australia? | Type | Best for | Billing | |---|---|---| | Residential | City prices, SERPs | Per GB | | Mobile | Carrier-network tests | Per GB | | Static ISP | Long sessions | Per IP/month | | Datacenter | Bulk public pages | Per IP/month | For prices, stock and search results across Australian cities, start with [Residential Proxy](https://proxynet.io/residential-proxy). If you log into a seller panel or one account from the same address for weeks, rotation hurts; use a static ISP IP or a [Sticky Proxy](https://proxynet.io/sticky-proxy) session that holds one IP for up to 60 minutes. Use mobile for app behaviour on carrier networks and a datacenter IP for bulk public catalogues on lightly protected sites. To check an exit, follow [How to Test a Proxy](/blog/how-to-test-a-proxy). ## Common mistakes - **Comparing global pools instead of the Australia figure.** A 400 million network may publish far fewer Australian IPs than a smaller one. - **Picking "Australia" and skipping the city.** A national exit usually lands on the east coast. - **Forgetting the clock.** Time zone, language (en-AU) and location must match the exit city, daylight saving included. - **Budgeting on the lowest advertised price.** It usually needs a four-figure monthly plan; plan from the entry price. - **Taking every IP from one block.** Twenty addresses in one [/24 block](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4632) are close to a single address for the target. ## Frequently asked questions ### Which is the best proxy provider for Australia? Proxynet. The largest Australia figure on this list (2,123,456 IPs), 24 cities, free city and ASN targeting, the lowest residential entry price, unmetered ISP and datacenter traffic and a balance that never expires come together at Proxynet. If you need to select the mobile carrier, SOAX and Bright Data offer it. ### How do you get an Australian IP address? Load a balance into your Proxynet account, pick the product and Australia, and the proxy is delivered instantly; city and ASN are set in the endpoint builder. No subscription, no contract. ### How much do Australia proxies cost? At Proxynet residential starts at 3.30 dollars per GB, mobile at 5.50 dollars per GB, a dedicated ISP IP at 1.80 dollars and a datacenter IP at 1.50 dollars per month, falling as the balance grows. Among the rivals here, residential entry prices run from 4 to 8 dollars per GB. ### Can I target Sydney, Melbourne or Perth specifically? Yes. There are exits in 24 Australian cities, and city targeting is free on residential and mobile. The [Australia proxy](/locations/australia) page shows the current list. ### Should you use a free Australia proxy? We do not recommend it. Nobody knows who runs the servers on free lists, traffic can be logged or altered, and the addresses are usually blacklisted already; see [Are Free Proxies Safe?](/blog/are-free-proxies-safe). ### Is it legal to use a proxy in Australia? Using a proxy is legal in itself; what you do through it sets the limits. The target site's terms, its `robots.txt` rules and Australian law, including privacy law when personal information is involved, are your responsibility. More in [Is Data & Web Scraping Legal?](/blog/is-data-web-scraping-legal). ## Summary An Australia proxy is decided by the Australian figure and what it counts, the spread across cities, the network behind each IP and the traffic terms, not by the global pool. Proxynet brings the largest Australia figure on this list, 24 cities, free ASN targeting and a balance that never expires together.
