Proxy FAQs: Products, setup, payments, API guide

We sell rotating residential proxies (30GB, 50GB, 100GB and Unlimited), 4G/5G mobile proxies (20GB, 50GB, 100GB) and static IP plans: Starter (private datacenter), Scraper (shared datacenter), Social and Growth (ISP), Dedicated and Business (dedicated ISP), and IPv6 1K and 5K. Every plan is monthly or annual.

Datacenter proxies are ideal for tasks prioritizing speed and IP count, like large-scale crawling, ranking checks, and testing. ISP proxies are better for shopping sites or social media accounts requiring residential-like fixed IPs.

ISP proxies are static residential proxies. The IPs are registered to residential ISP ranges but hosted in datacenters, appearing as home users while offering fast speeds and unchanging IPs throughout your subscription.

Shared plans limit IPs to max 3 users with managed bandwidth/concurrency for fair speeds. Use dedicated plans for exclusive IP needs.

Each plan has fixed IP counts: Starter and Social (100), Dedicated (50), Growth and Business (250), Scraper (5,000). Rotating residential plans offer 30GB, 50GB, 100GB. Larger plans reduce cost per IP.

Datacenter IPs cover multiple countries (US, UK, Germany, Japan, Singapore, etc.), while ISP IPs include US, UK, Germany, France, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, etc. Shared datacenter plans also offer mixed-country pools. See the locations page for full lists.

All our proxies currently use IPv4. Since most websites and tools operate on IPv4, you can use them without compatibility concerns.

Purchased IPs remain the same throughout your plan period. You can use the same IP for long-term tasks or bind accounts to specific IPs.

No. All proxies support both SOCKS5 and HTTP (including HTTPS CONNECT). Each proxy line has separate HTTP and SOCKS5 ports. Simply use the port matching your tool.

Socks5Proxy SOCKS5 relays TCP connections: ready for web, APIs, browser automation, databases, and SSH.

There are two authentication methods: username/password and IP authorization. For IP authorization, you can register up to 10 IPv4 addresses of your server in the dashboard, allowing connections from these addresses without a password.

ip:port:user:pass, user:pass@ip:port, ip:port (for IP authorization), socks5://user:pass@ip:port, http://user:pass@ip:port, available in CSV format. Download as .txt or .csv files or via API.

Yes. Python requests uses proxies, Node.js uses proxy agents, and cURL uses -x. See our guides for language-specific examples.

Yes. Launch browsers with proxy server addresses and auth credentials. IP authorization simplifies setups where passwords are cumbersome.

First, check the remaining duration of your plan, ports (distinguish between HTTP and SOCKS5 ports), username, and password. If using IP authorization, also check if the server’s IP is registered in the dashboard.

There are 25 methods: USDT (TRC20, BEP20, ERC20, Solana, Polygon, Arbitrum, TON), USDC (BEP20, ERC20, Solana, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base), BTC, ETH (Ethereum, Arbitrum or Base), BNB, POL, SOL, LTC, TRX, DOGE, TON, XRP. When you click the payment button, a secure PayGate checkout window opens on the site, and you can select the amount, coin, and network to see the address and exact quantity to send.

The payment limit is a minimum of $40 and a maximum of $5,000 (per transaction).

Unique transaction amounts help distinguish multiple applications. Send exact specified amounts for automatic matching.

The payment window and deposit address are valid for 60 minutes. If time passes, you can open a new payment window and send the newly instructed amount.

Credit is a service amount used to purchase plans, so it cannot be withdrawn to your wallet. We recommend paying for what you need.

The 12-month plan gives you an extra 30% off the already discounted bulk rate. For long-term projects, the annual plan is the most cost-effective.

Signup generates an SPX- account token. Copy it or save as .txt: this single token serves as your login credential.

The server only stores token hashes, so we can't show your token again. If logged in, you can generate a new token in your account settings. Always store tokens securely.

You can create up to 3 accounts per IP. For managing multiple tasks, purchasing multiple plans under one account is also convenient.

Create an API key in the dashboard and include Authorization: Bearer in request headers. Base URL: https://socks5proxy.io/api/v1. Endpoints: credit (/account), plans (/plans), proxy lists (/proxies), and downloads (/proxies/download).

Yes. API keys are shown only once upon creation. Create new keys in the dashboard as needed; old keys are immediately invalidated.

Yes. Use /proxies/download with format and protocol (http/socks5) to get text lists. /proxies filters by country/protocol for JSON output.

Failed or unissued plans receive full refunds to your credit, which can immediately fund other purchases.

All refunds are credited to account credit for service use, not withdrawal.

You can inquire through the 1:1 support on the dashboard. It's available for accounts with at least one payment processed, and your account and plan information are linked for quick verification.

Your plan is issued once the blockchain confirmations are complete (BSC 15, ETH 12, BTC 2, LTC 6, SOL finalized). Check that you sent the exact amount, to every decimal place, to the address shown. If it still isn't issued, contact us from the Help Center in your dashboard.

You can view all payment, purchase, refund history, and post-transaction credits on the dashboard's records screen.

Use for all legitimate tasks: web crawling, price monitoring, search ranking checks, managing e-commerce/social media accounts, ad verification, market research, and testing apps/websites across countries.

Spamming, attacking other systems, fraud, distributing illegal content, and infringing others’ rights are prohibited. Such activities may result in account suspension.

We only store the hash of the account token, the hash key of the sign-up IP, device type, language, first visit path, credit, and order history. We do not collect names or contact information.

HTTPS maintains end-to-end encryption between your program and destination. Proxy servers only relay connections without viewing content.
