## What ProxyHat is

ProxyHat provides proxy infrastructure that routes your traffic through real IP addresses so requests appear to come from genuine users in a chosen location. It is used by developers and data teams for legitimate public-data collection — web scraping, search-rank (SERP) tracking, ad verification, competitor price monitoring, brand monitoring, and localization/QA testing.

## Key facts

- Network: 50M+ ethically-sourced residential and mobile IPs. Residential pool in 195+ countries, mobile pool in 150+ countries, 6,500+ cities.
- Proxy types: rotating residential and rotating mobile (4G/5G) proxies billed per GB, plus dedicated static IPs (static residential "ISP" proxies and dedicated mobile proxies) billed per IP per rental term. ProxyHat does not sell datacenter proxies yet (they are planned; /proxy/datacenter describes the coming product).
- Pricing model: pay-as-you-go per GB, from $2.30/GB on the largest pack ($5 for 1 GB); smaller packs cost more per GB. Mobile and residential traffic cost the same. No monthly subscription, no minimum commitment. Purchased traffic never expires.
- Payment methods: cryptocurrency (BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, LTC, SOL, BNB) and, for customers in Russia/CIS, SBP. Card payments are currently not available; PayPal is not supported.
- IP quality: an AI-powered IP-reputation filter scores and rejects flagged or low-trust IPs in real time.
- Sessions: rotating (a new IP per request) or sticky (the same IP for 60 seconds up to 24 hours).
- Protocols: HTTP/HTTPS and SOCKS5. Authentication: username + password.
- Targeting: country, region, city (a city must be given together with its region), and ISP. ZIP-code targeting is not supported.

## Proxy types

- Residential proxies (rotating pool): 50M+ IPs from real households via consumer ISPs in 195+ countries and 6,500+ cities. Highest trust for hard targets; rotating or sticky (up to 24 h); HTTP and SOCKS5; country, region and city targeting; pay-as-you-go per GB. Best for web scraping, SERP tracking, ad verification, and price monitoring on protected sites.
- Mobile proxies (rotating pool): real 4G/5G carrier IPs in 150+ countries, same per-GB pricing and username syntax as residential. Highest trust scores for social platforms, app testing, and the hardest targets.
- ISP (static residential) proxies: dedicated, static home-ISP IP addresses in 66+ countries. The same IP for as long as you renew (sticky by default), a flat price per IP — traffic isn't billed per GB — HTTP and SOCKS5, provisioned within ~1 minute. Priced per IP per rental term, not per GB; current prices and terms per country are in the dashboard. Best for account management, long-lived logins, and stable scraping/verification.
- Dedicated mobile proxies: a real 4G/5G device dedicated to one customer, in around 20 countries (the catalogue changes weekly), rental terms from 1 to 30 days, mostly unlimited traffic (some plans are capped), HTTP and SOCKS5.

Note: the 50M+ / 195-country figure is the rotating RESIDENTIAL pool. Static ISP IPs and dedicated mobile proxies are separate per-term products with their own, smaller country lists.
