What is a proxy?
A proxy is a server that sits between your device and the target website and forwards traffic on your behalf. When you connect through a proxy, the target site sees the proxy's IP address instead of your real one. That lets you hide your IP, exit from a different country or city, and spread a large number of requests instead of stacking them on a single IP. Proxies are used for many legitimate purposes such as data scraping, SEO tracking, social media management, e-commerce, ad verification and gaming.
A proxy service is a server that sits between your device and the target site and forwards traffic through its own IP. Proxynet offers five proxy types: ISP, Datacenter, Residential, Mobile and Gaming. Compare the differences in the table below.
How a request travels through a proxy, the proxy types and what a proxy does not do are covered in detail inWhat Is a Proxy Server and How Does It Work?.
Proxy services compared
Five IP sources on one network. Some hold a single static address for the length of your plan, others rotate or stick per session and bill by the gigabyte — the columns below show where each one sits before you read its full page.
| Property | ISP Proxy | Datacenter Proxy | Residential Proxy | Mobile Proxy | Gaming Proxy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| IP source | A residential ISP circuit, assigned to you | A corporate datacenter IP | A real home device | A mobile carrier SIM | A static IP dedicated to the game |
| Session model | Static | Static | Rotating or sticky | Rotating or sticky | Static |
| Billing unit | Per IP, monthly | Per IP, monthly | Per GB | Per GB | Per IP, monthly |
| Traffic | Uncapped | Uncapped | Metered by the gigabyte | Metered by the gigabyte | Uncapped |
| Typical use | Account management, work that needs a fixed session | High-volume bulk requests, the lowest unit cost | Collection on bot-protected targets, a natural user footprint | Social media and app account management, carrier trust | One static IP per in-game character, low latency |
| Where it falls short | High-volume anonymous collection | Strictly bot-protected targets | Work that needs a fixed session and a whitelist | Large-scale bulk requests | General use outside of games |

- Mobile carrier NAT
- More than 20 million IPs in 140+ countries
- Free country, city, state targeting
- Rotating / sticky sessions
- High trust score

Gaming Proxy
Low-latency game routing. Gaming proxies keep ping low with dedicated game routing and dedicated exits. Multi-connect, unlimited traffic, and a hardened TIER 3+ backbone keep you online in games without drops.
Connect to your game faster and without drops on Tier 3+ infrastructure.
- Unlimited, uncapped connections
- Low latency (ms)
- Multi-connect
- Hardened infrastructure
- 400 Gbps DDoS-protected network
- From $1.00 – $2.00/ monthly IP
Proxy pages by protocol and use
The products above share one infrastructure. The pages below look at them by protocol, session model, location and use case.
IPv6 Proxy
Cheaper per IP for targets that publish an AAAA record, with a dedicated /64 subnet for each IP.
HTTPS Proxy
The protocol browsers and HTTP clients speak natively; domain names are resolved on the proxy side.
SOCKS5 Proxy
An application-agnostic protocol that carries TCP and UDP, for software that does not speak HTTP.
Rotating Proxy
A new IP on every request, from the Residential and Mobile pools, for high-volume collection.
Sticky Proxy
Holds an IP from the rotating pool for the length of a session, for flows that need a login.
Static Proxy
An IP that is yours alone and stays the same for the whole rental, on ISP and Datacenter.
Locations
Country and city exits in 194 countries; each country page lists its carriers and IP coverage.
Solutions
Which proxy type fits scraping, SEO, e-commerce, social media and other work.
How to choose a proxy type in four steps
Four questions decide which of the five proxy types fits your project.
Define your use case
Choose ISP, Datacenter, Residential, Mobile or Gaming Proxy based on your workload — scraping, social media, e-commerce or gaming.
Check the target site's protection
Strict bot protection favors Residential or Mobile IPs; less-protected, high-volume work runs better on ISP or Datacenter IPs.
Decide static or rotating
Static IPs suit logins and account management that need a fixed session; rotating or sticky sessions suit high-volume bulk requests.
Plan your budget
The unit price drops with the balance you top up in the panel — enter the quantity and term you need to see the cost upfront.
Free proxy lists: why they don't hold up
The free proxy lists and proxy sites that circulate online may be enough to open a page; they are not enough to carry a job.
Nobody knows who sees your traffic
Most addresses on these lists are misconfigured or compromised open proxies. Whoever runs the server can read and alter every unencrypted request; sending a session where you type a password through it means handing that password to a stranger.
Hundreds of people share each IP
The moment an address lands on a list, hundreds of people start using it at once. Target sites blacklisted those addresses long ago; the CAPTCHA and the block are waiting before you connect.
The list updates, the addresses still fail
Open proxies shut down or slow to a crawl without notice, which is why the search for an up-to-date list never ends. Building a job on a connection means it has to be there tomorrow too.
What changes with a paid proxy?
The address is assigned to you or comes from a monitored pool, it is protected by a username and password, and when something breaks you know who to talk to. We cover the risks of free proxies and web proxy sites in a separate article.

One of the best customer support teams you will see
I was using a proxy from another company and could not get support. I was already registered on proxynet.io before buying; when a customer-service email arrived on Saturday I decided to try. So far I can say their fast replies and problem-solving approach really impressed me.Read on Trustpilot

Technical support is fast, ISP proxies work
Technical support is fast. I was very happy with the ISP proxies; you could make prices a bit more affordable, mobile is unfortunately expensive, but ISP speeds and subnet quality are solid.Read on Trustpilot

Frequently Asked Questions.
Everything you need to know about proxy services.
Not sure which proxy type fits your project? Our 24/7 support team is ready to help.
A proxy is a server that sits between your device and the target website and forwards traffic on your behalf. When you connect through a proxy, the target site sees the proxy's IP address instead of your real one. That lets you hide your IP, exit from a different country or city, and spread a large number of requests instead of stacking them on a single IP. Proxies are used for many legitimate purposes such as data scraping, SEO tracking, social media management, e-commerce, ad verification and gaming.
Choose ISP Proxies for long sessions that need a fixed IP and unlimited traffic; Datacenter Proxies for high-volume crawling and automation; Residential Proxies for real home IPs on targets with strict bot protection; 4G/5G Mobile Proxies for apps and mobile-first targets; and Gaming Proxies for low ping and stable connections. If you are unsure, our 24/7 live support will match the right type to your use case.
Residential Proxies exit from real user devices and home modems, are billed per GB and usually rotate. ISP Proxies are static IPs assigned by an internet service provider and hosted on a datacenter backbone; they stay dedicated to you for the term you buy, carry no traffic limit and offer much lower latency. Both appear as home users to target sites.
Every proxy type supports HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5. You can switch the protocol from the customer panel with one click and use the same proxy as both HTTPS and SOCKS5. For authentication you can choose username and password or an IP whitelist.
Delivery is instant. As soon as you pick the proxy type, location and quantity in the customer panel and complete payment, your proxies are provisioned automatically and appear in your panel. There is no waiting for support to set anything up; you can export the proxy list from the panel or through the API.
Residential and Mobile Proxies offer free country, city, state and ASN targeting across 194 countries. ISP and Datacenter Proxies are available in dozens of countries including the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Türkiye. See the Locations page for per-country details.
There is no mandatory subscription. You top up a balance in the panel; ISP, Datacenter and Gaming Proxies are billed per IP per month, while Residential and Mobile Proxies are billed per GB. The unit price drops with your balance tier, and any remaining balance can be used for renewals, extra proxies or a different proxy type. Each product's pricing page lists current unit prices and includes a cost calculator.
Proxies are used for legitimate workloads such as data scraping and web crawling, SEO and SERP tracking, market research and price monitoring, social media account management, e-commerce, ad verification, app testing, brand protection and gaming. The Solutions page explains which proxy type fits each use case.
