Proxy buying guide

All four IP123 proxy products provide a fixed exit during the rental period. Start with the service you need to reach, whether you will use a browser or a program, and any location or network requirements.

Choose by what you need to do

Find the closest match below. Residential and datacenter describe where an IP comes from; IPv6 describes the exit address type; AI describes the main use. They are not quality tiers, and a product name alone does not guarantee access to your target service.

1. 01

   Static residential proxies →

   Keep the same residential network exit over time

   Choose this when

   You manage stores or social media accounts and the target platform requires a residential network.

   Before buying

   Check that your location is available and review the platform's location and account rules.

2. 02

   Static datacenter proxies →

   Use a fixed exit from a server network

   Choose this when

   You run ongoing collection, monitoring, or testing jobs and the target accepts datacenter IPs.

   Before buying

   Test your actual target, then choose IP quantity and bandwidth for the workload.

3. 03

   Static IPv6 proxies →

   Datacenter origin with a fixed IPv6 exit

   Choose this when

   You need to reach an IPv6 service or test an app's IPv6 path.

   Before buying

   Check that the target domain and related APIs support IPv6. Your client still uses IPv4-formatted connection details from the dashboard.

4. 04

   AI proxies →

   Connect mainly to AI apps or model APIs

   Choose this when

   An AI app, model API, or agent workflow needs a network environment closer to a real user.

   Before buying

   Uses real residential IPs for AI services that are more sensitive to network origin. Model subscriptions and API keys are separate.

If more than one row fits, such as a model API with a strict location requirement, check the target's most restrictive condition first and test with a small purchase.

About proxy IP quality

Network origin affects how a proxy IP performs. A simple way to think about the options is:

• Residential proxies: Come from home broadband networks and look more like normal users, making them a common choice for social media, ecommerce, and account workloads that are sensitive to network origin.
• Datacenter proxies: Come from IDC or cloud provider networks and usually offer advantages in speed, concurrency, and cost, but a target may identify them as server networks.
• AI proxies: Use real residential IPs for a network environment closer to a real user, designed for AI apps, model APIs, and agent workflows that are sensitive to network origin.
• IPv6 proxies: Come from datacenter networks and provide fixed IPv6 exits. IPv6 is an address protocol, not a quality rating; suitability depends mainly on whether the target website and APIs support IPv6 exits.

Actual results also depend on the target's rules and your workload, so choose based on the use case.

Four checks before you buy

1. Name the exact target. List the websites, apps, or APIs and the location you need. A platform's website and API may have different restrictions.
2. Check how you will connect. Match your browser or program's HTTP or SOCKS5 support to the product's ports. For an IPv6 product, make sure the target supports IPv6 exits.
3. Choose the size of your purchase. Estimate how many fixed exits you need, the rental period, and bandwidth. Check the website and dashboard for current pricing and availability.
4. Test before buying more. Check the exit IP in the app you will actually use, then test the target service before increasing quantity.
