Proxy Purchase FAQs

We've organized common Q&A about purchasing and using residential proxies, rotating proxies, and fixed IP proxies by topic.

General

What is IPKite?

IPKite offers rotating residential proxies (174 countries, per GB), plus static residential (ISP), datacenter, and mobile (4G/5G) proxies - all purchasable from one account.

What proxy products can I purchase?

Purchase rotating residential proxies (per GB), static residential (ISP) proxies (by IP count and period), datacenter proxies (by IP count and period), rotating mobile proxies (per GB), and dedicated mobile proxies (by port and period). All products are paid from the same balance.

Which protocols are supported?

Supports HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5. Residential proxies use port 7000 for HTTP/HTTPS connections and port 7100 for SOCKS5 connections.

Which countries can customers use?

IPKite serves customers worldwide. Create an account token, top up your balance, and purchase proxies identically from any country.

Is there a limit on simultaneous connections?

Residential proxies have no concurrent connection limits. Run multiple scripts/tools simultaneously with the same credentials.

What can it be used for?

Use for legitimate tasks like web scraping, price comparison, ad verification, search ranking checks, localization reviews, and account management. Not for illegal activities, spam, fraud, attacks, or unauthorized access.

In what currency are prices displayed?

All prices and balances are shown in USD. Top-ups use USD amounts, with exact payment amounts adjusted for your chosen method.

Residential proxy

How much does residential proxy cost?

Starting at $1.10/GB. Price decreases with volume: $4.41 (1GB), $7.50 (2GB), $33.00 (10GB), $165.00 (50GB), $330.00 (100GB). Enter any amount between 1-10,000GB.

Is there an expiration date for purchased traffic?

Purchased traffic can be used indefinitely until fully consumed. Remaining GB can be checked anytime via your account or the developer API.

How to select country and city?

Add country code and city name to your username. Example: user-cc-us-city-newyork-sess-a1b2c3-ttl-30 assigns a US New York address. 174 countries and major cities available.

How are rotating and sticky sessions different?

Rotating sessions assign a new IP with each request, while sticky sessions maintain the same IP for a set time. Sticky sessions are set by adding sess (session name) and ttl (minutes) to the username, ranging from 1 to 1,440 minutes.

How to reuse the same IP?

Using the same sess value maintains the same IP for the ttl duration. Change the sess value to get a new IP.

How is traffic calculated?

Proxy data (sent and received) is calculated together. By setting not to receive images or videos, you can collect more pages with the same GB.

Can I purchase additional traffic?

You can purchase additional GB anytime. The added GB will be added to your remaining traffic, and your connection details will remain the same.

Fixed IP & Mobile Proxies

How Much Do ISP Proxies Cost?

Fixed Residential (ISP) proxies cost $1.08 per IP per day, $1.62 for 30 days, $3.06 for 60 days, and $4.32 for 90 days. Available in 41 countries.

Each port has a unique IP rotation link. Open this link or call via API to get a new mobile IP on the same port.

Where can I view Fixed IP connection details?

Post-purchase, the member screen displays IP, port, username, password, country, and expiration date. The same information is available via the developer API's proxy list.

Payment/Top-Up

How Do I Pay for Proxies?

First top up your balance, then use it to purchase products. Your balance works across all products.

What payment methods are available?

12 methods available: USDT (TRC20, BEP20, ERC20, Solana), USDC (BEP20, ERC20, Solana), BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL, LTC.

What are the minimum and maximum top-up amounts?

Minimum top-up is $30, maximum is $10,000 per transaction. For customers accessing from low-income or lower-middle-income countries (World Bank classification), the minimum top-up is reduced to $20.

How do I receive a top-up bonus?

Bonuses are automatically added to your balance based on the top-up amount. $100 +20%, $200 +25%, $300 +30%, $500 +35%, $1,000 +40%, $3,000 +45%, $5,000 +50%.

How quickly are top-ups processed?

Sending exact amount via specified network will auto-refresh after blockchain confirmation. Top-up page remains valid for 60 minutes.

How do I get a refund?

Unused products or unprocessed payments are refunded to your balance. Top-up funds remain in your balance for other purchases. Used traffic is billed as consumed services.

What happens if sent to another network?

Send only to the network shown on the top-up screen. Using the exact network, address, and amount displayed ensures the fastest processing.

Account & Security

How do I create an account?

Receiving an account token completes registration. The token follows the IPK-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX format and is used for login.

How to Store Account Tokens?

Store your token securely, like in a password manager. The token is your account key, and only those with it can access your balance and proxies.

What data does IPKite store?

We only store token fingerprints, balance, purchase and top-up history, sign-up IP for fraud prevention, and language settings cookies. The original token is stored as a fingerprint.

Where can I view my purchase and top-up history?

On the member screen, you can view purchase and top-up history in chronological order. Purchase history is also available via the developer API.

How do I use Customer Support?

You can leave inquiries at the customer service center on the member screen. The customer service center opens after the first top-up is reflected and helps with purchase and connection issues along with account records.

How Are Purchase Numbers Displayed?

Each purchase comes with a long, unique purchase code. When contacting support, include this code for quicker assistance.

Developer API

What can you do with the Developer API?

Use the REST API to check your balance, purchase history, and proxy list. Automate operational tasks like traffic monitoring or balance alerts.

Where can I issue an API key?

Issue API keys from the account screen. Keys start with ipk_live_ and are displayed only once, so save them securely.

What is the API base URL and authentication method?

The base URL is https://ipkite.com/api/v1. Include your API key in the Authorization: Bearer header for all requests.

Is there a limit on API calls?

Up to 120 API calls per minute. Proxy connections have no concurrent limits.

What should I do if I lose my API key?

Issue a new API key from the account screen. After issuing, send requests with the new key.

What response appears when authentication fails?

If the key is missing or incorrect, you'll receive HTTP 401 with {"ok":false,"error":"unauthorized"}. Double-check the header format and key.
