JapanProxies is not a shopping or package-forwarding service: it sells IP proxies, so your software connects through a residential internet connection in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan or Hong Kong. We do not buy goods or ship parcels. Services that buy from Japanese stores for you are also called "Japan proxy services", but they are a different business. ### Can I target Tokyo, Osaka or Seoul? JapanProxies offers country and city targeting on every plan: add a city to the username, such as `-city-tokyo`, `-city-osaka` or `-city-seoul`, with ASN targeting at no extra cost. City availability varies: you get an IP in that city when the pool has one online there, so test your city with 1 GB first. ### Which crypto can I pay with from Japan or Korea? BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, from a $25 top-up. Buyers in Japan can use BTC, ETH or USDC from a registered exchange. Korean exchanges apply transfer rules to payments sent abroad. See [paying with crypto from East Asia](https://japanproxies.com/pay-with-crypto/). ### Do you sell static residential or ISP proxies? JapanProxies does not sell static residential or ISP proxies: it sells rotating residential traffic with optional sticky sessions (up to 30 minutes). A sticky session keeps one IP for a while, but it is not a static IP reserved for you. If you need one fixed IP for months, a static ISP product from another provider fits better. ### Is there a free trial? No free trial — test with the 1 GB plan, paid from the minimum top-up; the rest stays on your balance, never expires and is not paid back, except where the law requires it. The 1 GB plan costs $2.62 and works in all four countries. ## JapanProxies: key facts | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | What it is | Rotating residential proxies with IPs in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong, billed per GB | | KYC / ID verification | None: no ID, no selfie, no documents to sign up, top up or buy | | Residential price | $2.62 for 1 GB, $6.60 for 10 GB, $0.50/GB from 100 GB to 1 TB | | Traffic expiry | Prepaid residential traffic never expires: unused GB stay on your account until you use them | | Payment | Crypto only: BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC (USDT on TRC-20 or ERC-20, USDC on ERC-20) | | Payment model | Top up from $25, then buy any plan from your balance.

We give teams outside East Asia a way to see local pages as local people see them. A marketing agency in Europe can check a client's rankings on Yahoo! JAPAN; a brand in the United States can read its public prices on Coupang; a developer in Singapore can test the Taiwanese version of an app. The service is simple on purpose: one gateway, a country code in the username, sticky sessions when you need one IP for a while, traffic billed per GB that never expires, and payment in crypto without identity documents. ## Why focus on Japan and East Asia? Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong have their own search engines, marketplaces, languages and payment habits. General proxy sites list them as four flags among two hundred. We prefer to document them properly: which sites matter, what changes with a local IP, what each site's rules allow, and how local buyers can pay. The pages are in English first, written in plain sentences. Japanese and Korean versions may follow, then Traditional Chinese for Taiwan. ## What does JapanProxies not do? - We do not offer city or provider targeting in East Asia yet, and we say so on every country page. - We do not sell static residential or ISP proxies. - We do not run our own network of devices: residential bandwidth comes from established partner networks, described on the [sourcing page](https://japanproxies.com/sourcing/). - We do not publish pool sizes, speeds or success rates that we have not measured. - The service must not be used from mainland China, North Korea or countries under comprehensive sanctions. - We do not allow fraud, spam, attacks or unauthorized access; see the [acceptable use policy](https://japanproxies.com/acceptable-use/). ## How can I check that JapanProxies is legitimate? - **The operator is named:** ProxyGoat LLC, a Delaware LLC, on this page, at checkout, on receipts and in the [terms](https://japanproxies.com/terms/). - **The rules are public:** [acceptable use policy](https://japanproxies.com/acceptable-use/), [privacy policy](https://japanproxies.com/privacy/), [refund policy](https://japanproxies.com/refunds/). - **Sensitive targets are blocked:** Banking, government and payment-portal sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587. - **Abuse has an address:** abuse@japanproxies.com.

They are part of the [terms of service](https://japanproxies.com/terms/). **Quick answer — What can JapanProxies be used for?** **JapanProxies** residential IPs in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong may be used for lawful work that respects the sites you visit: search result checks, ad verification, public price checks, localization testing and privacy. Fraud, spam, attacks, unauthorized access and collecting personal data without a legal basis are forbidden. Banking, government and payment-portal sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587 are blocked for everyone. No KYC does not mean no rules. ## 1. Who this policy applies to This policy applies to every account, sub-user and connection on JapanProxies, operated by ProxyGoat LLC. You are responsible for all traffic sent with your credentials, including by people or programs you let use them. ## 2. Allowed uses You may use JapanProxies for lawful purposes such as: - checking search results, ads and local listings as people in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan or Hong Kong see them; - verifying your own or your clients' advertising campaigns and landing pages, and protecting your brand; - checking public prices, stock and delivery information on shopping and price-comparison sites, within their terms; - testing the localization of your own websites, apps and services; - research on publicly available information, at a pace the site can bear; - protecting your own privacy while browsing. ## 3. Forbidden uses You must not use JapanProxies to: 1. commit or prepare fraud, including payment fraud, identity theft, phishing and scams; 2. send spam or unsolicited messages by any channel; 3. attack, disrupt or overload any system, including denial-of-service attacks and vulnerability scanning without the owner's written permission; 4. access any account, system or data without authorization, use credentials that are not yours, or test stolen credentials; 5. sign in to services on behalf of other people, or create or operate identities on a platform in breach of its rules; 6. collect personal information without a legal basis under the law that applies, including APPI in Japan, PIPA in South Korea, the PDPA in Taiwan and the PDPO in Hong Kong; 7. automatically buy tickets, limited stock or reservations, or abuse promotions, bonuses, referrals or reviews; 8. generate fake clicks, impressions, views or other traffic for advertising or ranking; 9. distribute malware, illegal content or content that infringes intellectual property; 10. reach content or services that the law of your location prohibits, or help others do so; 11. get around a block, ban or access decision that a site has made on purpose, or this policy's own blocks; 12. pretend to be located in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan or Hong Kong to obtain work, contracts or payments, for example as a remote employee, freelancer or contractor, or hide a worker's real location from an employer or client; 13. resell access to JapanProxies without our written agreement. ## 4. Blocked targets These targets are blocked at the gateway for every customer, on every product: Banking, government and payment-portal sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587. You must not try to get around these blocks. We may add categories to protect our partner networks, customers or third parties. ## 5. Excluded places The service must not be used from **mainland China**, **North Korea**, or countries and regions under comprehensive sanctions, nor for the benefit of sanctioned persons. JapanProxies sells exit IPs in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong only. We may refuse or close accounts and payments linked to these places or persons. ## 6. Respect for sites and their rules Follow the terms of the sites you visit, honour robots.txt, keep a reasonable pace, and use official APIs where a site offers them. A residential IP does not give you a right that a site has not given. If a site restricts access for a region or for automated tools, that decision applies to you. ## 7. Enforcement We review abuse reports and unusual traffic. Abuse reports are reviewed by a person, and confirmed abuse leads to suspension. Depending on the case, we may warn you, limit traffic, suspend or close the account, and, where the law requires it, answer orders from authorities with the limited data we hold (see the [privacy policy](https://japanproxies.com/privacy/)). Accounts closed for abuse receive no refund. ## 8. Reporting abuse Report abuse from a JapanProxies IP to [abuse@japanproxies.com](mailto:abuse@japanproxies.com) with the IP address, the date and time with the time zone, the target, and log lines if you have them. The [contact page](https://japanproxies.com/contact/) explains what helps us act quickly. ## 9. Changes We may update this policy. The date at the top shows the current version; important changes are listed in the [changelog](https://japanproxies.com/changelog/). --- JapanProxies: JapanProxies is a residential proxy provider for Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong: rotating residential IPs billed per GB, with traffic that never expires, paid in crypto with no KYC — no ID, no selfie, no documents. --- # A Bright Data alternative for Japan and East Asia > A Bright Data alternative for Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese and Hong Kong residential IPs with no ID upload: $2.62 for 1 GB, paid in crypto. Checked Oct 2026. - URL: https://japanproxies.com/alternatives/bright-data-japan/ - Last updated: 2026-10-14 - Publisher: JapanProxies (https://japanproxies.com) Since July 2026, new Bright Data Residential zones need company KYC. If you need Japanese or other East Asian residential IPs without sending company documents, here is what changes when you switch, and what does not. **Quick answer — What is a Bright Data alternative for Japanese residential IPs without KYC?** **JapanProxies** is a Bright Data alternative for residential IPs in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong for buyers who prefer not to upload identity or company documents. Bright Data's Residential network requires company KYC for zones created after July 7, 2026. JapanProxies asks for no ID, no selfie and no documents, takes payment in crypto, and charges $2.62 for 1 GB and $0.50/GB from 100 GB, as of October 2026. ## Bright Data and JapanProxies side by side | | JapanProxies | Bright Data | | --- | --- | --- | | Identity checks for residential IPs | None — no ID, no selfie, no documents | Company KYC for Residential zones created after July 7, 2026 | | Payment | BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC | Cards, PayPal, Payoneer, Alipay, Google Pay and wire on its archived pricing page (24 Sep 2026); crypto not listed | | Residential price | $2.62 for 1 GB; $0.50/GB from 100 GB | List price $8/GB pay-as-you-go on 24 Sep 2026 (pricing page not readable on 13 Oct) | | Japan targeting | Country (`jp`) and city; ASN at no extra cost | Country, city and more | | Countries documented here | Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong | Worldwide network | | Traffic expiry | Never | Depends on plan | | Other products | Residential in JP, KR, TW and HK; dedicated 4G/5G ports in JP and KR | Residential, ISP, datacenter, mobile, unblocking and scraping products | *Prices checked on October 13, 2026.* Bright Data facts from its documentation (checked 5 October 2026) and an archived copy of its residential pricing page dated 24 September 2026. ## What changed at Bright Data in July 2026? Bright Data's documentation says that Residential zones created after July 7, 2026 are available to verified companies, through a KYC review. Accounts that use a personal email address cannot be approved for those zones. Bright Data's other products, such as ISP and datacenter proxies, are not covered by that rule. For freelancers, small agencies and individual developers who check Japanese or Korean sites, that means new Residential zones now go through a company KYC review. ## When is JapanProxies the better choice? - **You prefer not to send identity or company documents.** JapanProxies asks for no ID, no selfie and no documents. - **You pay in crypto.** BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, from a $25 top-up. - **Your work is in Japan, Korea, Taiwan or Hong Kong**, and country-level IPs are enough: search checks, ad checks, public price checks and localization tests. - **You buy small volumes.** 1 GB costs $2.62 and unused traffic never expires. ## When should I stay with Bright Data? - **You need ZIP or mobile-carrier targeting in Japan.** JapanProxies targets countries, cities and ASNs, not ZIP codes or carriers. - **You need other products**: unblocking tools, scraping APIs, datasets, ISP or datacenter proxies. - **Your company requires a vendor that has completed its own compliance review of you**, with contracts and invoices to match. We would rather you choose the right tool than switch for the wrong reason. ## How do I move a Japan setup from Bright Data to JapanProxies? 1. Buy a plan and copy your JapanProxies username and password. 2. Replace the host and port with `gw.japanproxies.com:7777` (or 7778 for SOCKS5). 3. Replace the country setting with `-country-jp` (or `kr`, `tw`, `hk`) in the username. 4. Replace session settings with `-session-ID-ttl-MINUTES` (the time you set (ttl, in minutes), up to 30 minutes; the IP can change earlier, for example if the residential device goes offline). 5. Replace city settings with `-city-NAME`, such as `-city-tokyo`; city availability varies. The [setup guide](https://japanproxies.com/guides/setup/) has examples in curl, Python, Node.js and Playwright. ## JapanProxies residential plans | Plan | Quantity | Price | Price per unit | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Test | 1 GB | $2.62 | $2.62/GB | | Standard | 10 GB | $6.60 | $0.66/GB | | Team | 50 GB | $26 | $0.52/GB | | Agency | 100 GB | $50 | $0.50/GB | In every plan: Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong · Rotating and sticky sessions · HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 · Traffic never expires **Before you pay** - Minimum top-up $25.

Typical network confirmation time: BTC ≈ 20 min · USDT TRC-20 ≈ 1 min · USDT ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · USDC ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · ETH ≈ 5 min · SOL ≈ 1 min · LTC ≈ 15 min ## Bright Data alternative questions ### Does Bright Data require KYC for all products? No. Its documentation ties company KYC to Residential zones created after July 7, 2026. Its ISP, datacenter and some other products are not covered by that rule. Check Bright Data's own documentation for your case. ### Is JapanProxies cheaper than Bright Data? At list prices, yes: Bright Data listed $8/GB pay-as-you-go in September 2026, with promotions at times; JapanProxies charges $2.62 for 1 GB and $0.50/GB from 100 GB. Bright Data offers more targeting and products, so compare what you actually need. ### Can I keep the same code? Mostly. Change the host, port, username and password; replace the country and session parameters with the JapanProxies format. City parameters become `-city-NAME`. ### Do I need a company to use JapanProxies? No. Individuals and companies can buy with an account number and crypto. Every customer follows our [acceptable use policy](https://japanproxies.com/acceptable-use/). ## Sources 1.

JapanProxies charges $2.62 for 1 GB and $0.50/GB from 100 GB; Oxylabs listed $6.00/GB on its smallest monthly plan on 13 October 2026. ## Oxylabs and JapanProxies side by side | | JapanProxies | Oxylabs | | --- | --- | --- | | Identity checks | None | KYC questionnaire for every customer | | Crypto payment | Yes: BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC | No | | Smallest purchase | $25 minimum top-up (1 GB plan $2.62; the rest stays on your balance) | $30 per month for 5 GB | | Price per GB | $2.62/GB at 1 GB; $0.66/GB at 10 GB; $0.50/GB from 100 GB | $6.00 up to 5 GB; $5.00 up to 20 GB; $4.00 up to 125 GB; $2.50 from 1 TB | | Traffic expiry | Never | Monthly subscription | | Japan targeting | Country and city; ASN at no extra cost | Country and cities | | Japan benchmark (AIMultiple) | Not tested | About 91% success, 19 s response (June 2026) | | Korea benchmark (AIMultiple) | Not tested | Fastest of the providers tested (September 2026) | *Prices checked on October 13, 2026.* ## Why do people look for an Oxylabs alternative in Japan? Three differences matter most for small checks in East Asia: - **KYC.** Oxylabs' KYC page says the requirement "applies to all customers" and that "every customer has to answer a KYC questionnaire to get access to our solutions". - **Payment.** Oxylabs' pricing page lists cards, wire transfers and PayPal among its payment methods, and says "We do not accept Bitcoins" (read 14 October 2026). - **Entry cost.** The smallest residential plan is $30 per month for 5 GB, and Oxylabs' self-service agreement lets you use purchased traffic for the remainder of the subscription period. For occasional checks of Japanese or Korean sites, those three points can matter more than benchmark results. ## When should I stay with Oxylabs? - **You need city targeting backed by benchmark data.** Oxylabs' Japanese city targeting was covered in 2026 reviews; JapanProxies offers city targeting too, but city availability varies and we publish no benchmark. - **You want measured performance.** Oxylabs was in AIMultiple's Japan and Korea benchmarks; JapanProxies was not, and we publish no success-rate figures. - **Your company prefers a vendor with a KYC process**, contracts and card or invoice billing. If none of these apply, a smaller, crypto-paid plan may fit better. ## How do I switch a Japanese or Korean setup? 1. Buy a JapanProxies plan and copy the username and password. 2. Point your client at `gw.japanproxies.com:7777` for HTTP/HTTPS, or port 7778 for SOCKS5. 3. Put the country in the username: `-country-jp`, `-country-kr`, `-country-tw` or `-country-hk`. 4. For a sticky session, add `-session-ID-ttl-MINUTES` (the time you set (ttl, in minutes), up to 30 minutes; the IP can change earlier, for example if the residential device goes offline). 5. Replace city parameters with `-city-NAME`, such as `-city-osaka`; city availability varies. Test with 1 GB on your own targets before you move a whole project. ## JapanProxies residential plans | Plan | Quantity | Price | Price per unit | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Test | 1 GB | $2.62 | $2.62/GB | | Standard | 10 GB | $6.60 | $0.66/GB | | Team | 50 GB | $26 | $0.52/GB | | Agency | 100 GB | $50 | $0.50/GB | In every plan: Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong · Rotating and sticky sessions · HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 · Traffic never expires **Before you pay** - Minimum top-up $25. Top up once in crypto, then buy any plan from your balance. - Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, but it is not paid back, except where the law requires it. - Credited once your payment is checked on the blockchain. Typical network confirmation time: BTC ≈ 20 min · USDT TRC-20 ≈ 1 min · USDT ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · USDC ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · ETH ≈ 5 min · SOL ≈ 1 min · LTC ≈ 15 min ## Oxylabs alternative questions ### Does Oxylabs require KYC? Yes. Its KYC and safety page says the requirement applies to all customers: every customer has to answer a KYC questionnaire to get access to its solutions (read on 13 October 2026). ### Does Oxylabs accept crypto? Oxylabs does not accept crypto: its pricing page says "We do not accept Bitcoins" (read 14 October 2026). JapanProxies accepts only crypto: BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC. ### Is Oxylabs better than JapanProxies? For published benchmark results, Oxylabs offers more. For buying Japanese or Korean residential IPs without KYC, in crypto, from $2.62, JapanProxies fits better. Choose on the features you need. ### Will my Oxylabs code work with JapanProxies? Yes, after you change the host, port, credentials and username parameters. Standard HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 clients work with both. ## Sources 1.

Traffic does not expire at JapanProxies, DataImpulse, Geonode and IPRoyal; Decodo, Webshare and Oxylabs sell monthly plans. JapanProxies, Decodo, DataImpulse and IPRoyal accept crypto; Webshare and Oxylabs do not; Geonode does not state it. Every tier is in the [full Japan price comparison](https://japanproxies.com/compare/japan-residential-proxy-prices/). ## Which Japan proxy should I choose? The right choice depends on what you need most: - **You pay in crypto and do not want to send ID:** JapanProxies. DataImpulse also takes crypto at a flat $1.00/GB from 50 GB; both say traffic does not expire. - **You need ZIP-level targeting in Japan:** Decodo. JapanProxies offers country and city targeting (city availability varies) and ASN targeting, not ZIP. - **You buy large volumes:** compare Shifter's country-only pool (from $0.48/GB on 13 October 2026) and Geonode, which matches our $0.50/GB at 1 TB and lists lower rates above it. Other providers list lower per-GB rates at several volumes; we do not claim to be the cheapest. - **You are a company with a compliance process:** Oxylabs and Bright Data publish benchmarks and controls, after KYC. ## What do the benchmarks say about Japan? AIMultiple's Japan benchmark, updated in June 2026, sent one request every 10 minutes per provider to targets that include amazon.co.jp, Rakuten, Yahoo! JAPAN Shopping, Mercari and Yahoo! JAPAN Search, from the EU West region. It found that Apify, Decodo and Oxylabs performed similarly on success rate, and that Webshare and DataImpulse showed lower success rates. JapanProxies was not in that test, and we publish no success-rate figures of our own: test your own targets with 1 GB first. ## Questions about Japan proxy providers ### Which Japan residential proxy accepts crypto with no KYC? JapanProxies accepts BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC and asks for no ID, selfie or documents. Decodo, DataImpulse and IPRoyal also accept crypto, but their KYC rules differ: IPRoyal uses identity verification for unrestricted access. Oxylabs takes no crypto and asks every customer to answer a KYC questionnaire. ### Which provider offers Tokyo or Osaka targeting? JapanProxies includes city targeting on every plan (`-city-tokyo`, `-city-osaka`; city availability varies). Decodo (ZIP-level, per AIMultiple) and Oxylabs (several Japanese cities, per Proxyway) also offer location targeting inside Japan. ### Is the cheapest Japan proxy the best? A low per-GB rate is only one part of the cost: a high minimum, monthly expiry or weak results on your targets can make it the dearer choice. Our comparison is a dated sample of 8 providers, read on 13 October 2026; other providers sell for less at some volumes, and prices change often. Test your own targets first. ### Why is JapanProxies ranked first? JapanProxies ranks first on this page's single criterion, Japanese residential IPs paid in crypto without KYC, and, as the publisher, says so in the methodology. Every competitor fact on the page is sourced and dated 13 October 2026. ### Are any of these providers linked to the IPIDEA or NetNut networks? None of the seven other providers on this page is among the brands Google named in its January 2026 IPIDEA action, and NetNut, disrupted in July 2026, is not listed. Not being named does not prove a clean supply chain: Google did not name the brands that resell NetNut's network. For JapanProxies's own supply, our upstream provider confirms that device owners opt in and can opt out, and that its supply does not come from seized or disrupted networks such as NetNut or IPIDEA; see [where our IPs come from](https://japanproxies.com/sourcing/). ## Sources 1.

AIMultiple's Korea benchmark, updated on 25 September 2026, sent requests through each provider's residential proxies to 11 domains that people in Korea use, mixing Korean platforms with global ones: naver.com, daum.net, danawa.com, musinsa.com, namu.wiki, aliexpress.com, google.com, facebook.com, instagram.com, twitter.com and x.com. It tracked success rate and response time daily. Its findings: Webshare, NodeMaven and Oxylabs were close on success rate, Oxylabs was the fastest, and Apify trailed on speed. It also noted that day-to-day swings were often larger than the gaps between providers, so test your own targets before you choose. JapanProxies was not part of this benchmark. ## Which Korea proxy should I choose? - **You pay in crypto and do not want to send ID:** JapanProxies, or NodeMaven if you want a provider with Korean benchmark data and accept monthly plans. - **You want the most consistent results on Korean sites:** Webshare or Oxylabs, per AIMultiple's test; Oxylabs requires KYC. - **You buy at volume:** compare DataImpulse's flat $1.00/GB with our $0.50/GB rate from 100 GB. - **You need city targeting in Seoul or Busan:** JapanProxies includes it on every plan (`-city-seoul`, `-city-busan`; city availability varies); test your city first. ## Questions about Korea proxy providers ### Which Korea residential proxy accepts USDT without ID verification? JapanProxies accepts USDT on TRC-20 or ERC-20, plus BTC, ETH, USDC, SOL and LTC, with no ID, selfie or documents. NodeMaven and Decodo also accept crypto; check their own KYC terms. Korean exchanges apply transfer rules to payments sent abroad: see [paying with crypto from East Asia](https://japanproxies.com/pay-with-crypto/). ### Do I need a Korean IP to check Naver? For the view a searcher in Korea gets, yes: ads, shopping results and local content are built for South Korea. See our [Naver check guide](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/naver-search/). ### Which provider was fastest in Korea? Oxylabs, in AIMultiple's benchmark of 25 September 2026. Webshare had the most consistent success rate, and NodeMaven was close to both. ### Why is JapanProxies ranked first if it was not benchmarked? JapanProxies ranks first on this page's single criterion, Korean residential IPs paid in crypto without KYC, and, as the publisher, says so. We state in the methodology that JapanProxies was not in AIMultiple's benchmark and we claim no benchmark result. ## Sources 1.

To keep comparisons honest, the limits of this version are stated on every page concerned: - no state or ZIP code targeting (country and city targeting are included, with ASN targeting at no extra cost; city availability varies); - no static residential or ISP proxies; - English only for now; Japanese and Korean versions may be added first. When one of these changes, it will be listed here with its date. ## What will be announced here? Price changes, new or removed plans, new countries or targeting options (such as state or ZIP targeting, if and when it becomes available), new languages (Japanese and Korean first), and changes to our policies. Each entry has its date. ## Changelog questions ### Do price changes affect plans I already bought? No. A price change applies to new purchases only. Traffic you already bought keeps its size and never expires; a dedicated port keeps the days you paid for. ### How will I know about a change to the terms or policies? Each policy page shows the date of its current version at the top, and important changes are listed here with their date. If your account has an email address, we may also write to you about changes that affect your plans. ### Why are competitor prices dated? Because providers change their prices often. Every comparison on this site shows the day the prices were read, so you can judge how fresh they are. --- JapanProxies: JapanProxies is a residential proxy provider for Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong: rotating residential IPs billed per GB, with traffic that never expires, paid in crypto with no KYC — no ID, no selfie, no documents. --- # Japan residential proxy prices per GB, compared (October 2026) > Japan residential proxy prices per GB at 7 volumes, read on 8 providers' pricing pages on 13 Oct 2026: DataImpulse, Geonode, Decodo, Oxylabs and more. - URL: https://japanproxies.com/compare/japan-residential-proxy-prices/ - Last updated: 2026-10-14 - Publisher: JapanProxies (https://japanproxies.com) List prices per GB at seven volumes, from 1 GB to 1 TB, read on each provider's own pricing page on 13 October 2026. The same prices apply to [South Korea](https://japanproxies.com/residential-proxies/south-korea/), [Taiwan](https://japanproxies.com/residential-proxies/taiwan/) and [Hong Kong](https://japanproxies.com/residential-proxies/hong-kong/) unless noted. **Quick answer — How much does a Japan residential proxy cost per GB in 2026?** On 13 October 2026, in our dated sample of 8 providers, rates ran from $0.79 to $5.51 per GB at 10 GB and from $0.50 to $2.50 per GB at 1 TB; the three that sell exactly 1 GB (Webshare, Decodo, IPRoyal) listed $3.50 (sale) to $7.35 for it, and Shifter listed a country-only pool from $0.48/GB. Other providers sell for less at some volumes, and we do not claim to be the cheapest. **JapanProxies** charges $0.50/GB from 100 GB to 1 TB, paid in crypto with no KYC. ## Price per GB at each volume Each cell is the provider's rate band covering that volume, or the published plan nearest to it (noted); "No published tier" means no price is listed near that volume. Coupon codes are left out; sale prices shown on the pricing page are kept and marked "sale". A dash means the provider sells no plan of that size. | Provider | 1 GB | 5 GB | 10 GB | 50 GB | 100 GB | 500 GB | 1 TB | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | JapanProxies | $2.62/GB | $0.99/GB | $0.66/GB | $0.52/GB | $0.50/GB | $0.50/GB | $0.50/GB | | DataImpulse | — | $1.00 (intro pack, new customers) | $1.00 (from $50) | $1.00 | $1.00 | $1.00 | $0.80 | | Geonode (monthly) | — | — | $0.79 | $0.69 | $0.65 | $0.55 | $0.50 | | Geonode (pay-as-you-go) | — | — | $0.88 | $0.77 | $0.72 | $0.61 | $0.57 | | Databay Flex | — | — | — | $0.55 (31 days) | $0.55 (31 days) | $0.55 (31 days) | $0.55 (31 days) | | Shifter (Full Geo, monthly) | — | — | — | $1.00 (sale, list $3.50) | $1.00 (sale, list $3.00) | $0.75 (400 GB plan; sale, list $2.00) | — | | Webshare (monthly) | $3.50 (sale) | $3.50 (1 GB plan, sale) | $2.75 (sale) | $2.45 (sale) | $2.25 (sale) | $1.75 (sale) | $1.50 (sale) | | Decodo | $4.00 (pay-as-you-go) | $3.75 (3 GB plan) | $3.50 | $3.00 | $2.75 | $2.50 (250 GB plan) | $2.00 | | Oxylabs (monthly) | — | $6.00 | $5.00 (20 GB plan) | $4.00 (125 GB plan) | $4.00 (125 GB plan) | — | $2.50 | | IPRoyal | $7.35 | $6.25 (2 GB plan) | $5.51 | No published tier | No published tier | No published tier | No published tier | *Prices checked on October 13, 2026.* All prices in USD per GB, read on 13 October 2026. Bright Data's pricing page could not be read that day and is left out of the grid. SOAX prices countries by tier ($2.00 to $5.00 per GB on its Sandbox plan) and its pricing page did not say which tier Japan is in, so it is left out too. ## What does the table show? - **Single GB.** Four providers sell exactly 1 GB: Webshare ($3.50 sale price), Decodo ($4.00 pay-as-you-go), IPRoyal ($7.35) and JapanProxies ($2.62). Others start at 5 GB (DataImpulse's one-time intro pack), 10 GB (Geonode) or 50 GB (Shifter). - **Mid volumes.** At 10 to 100 GB, DataImpulse stays flat at $1.00 per GB, Geonode falls from $0.79 to $0.65 on monthly plans, and the large brands sit between $2.25 and $5.51. - **Large volumes.** Databay Flex lists $0.55 per GB from a 25 GB minimum, valid 31 days, with country targeting only. At 1 TB, Geonode lists $0.50 on a monthly plan, and lower rates above 1 TB. - **Japan is not a premium country for most.** All eight providers in the grid charge Japan the same rate as other countries. SOAX, left out of the grid, uses country tiers. ## Where does JapanProxies sit in this table? JapanProxies charges $2.62 for 1 GB, $4.95 for 5 GB, $6.60 for 10 GB and $0.50/GB from 100 GB to 1 TB. Traffic never expires, and the same plan covers Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong. We do not claim to be the cheapest at any volume. What we add is payment in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC with no KYC, a $25 minimum top-up and pages written for East Asian checks. Our comparison is a dated sample of 8 providers, read on 13 October 2026; other providers sell for less at some volumes, and prices change often. ## What else changes the real price? A per-GB price is only part of the cost. Before you compare, check: - **Expiry.** Monthly plans (Decodo, Oxylabs, Webshare, Shifter) reset each billing period; DataImpulse, Geonode and IPRoyal say traffic does not expire; Databay Flex lasts 31 days. - **Minimum spend.** From $3.50 (Webshare) to $50 (DataImpulse after its intro pack, Shifter). - **Targeting.** City targeting in Japan is sold by several providers, including Oxylabs and JapanProxies (city availability varies), and Decodo adds ZIP; Databay Flex targets countries only. - **KYC and payment.** Oxylabs asks every customer to answer a KYC questionnaire and does not accept crypto. Details for each provider are in the [East Asia proxy index](https://japanproxies.com/data/east-asia-proxy-price-index-2026/). ## Price comparison questions ### How much does a Japan residential proxy cost per GB? On 13 October 2026, the three providers in our sample that sell a single GB listed $3.50 (sale) to $7.35 for it, and rates at 1 TB ran from $0.50 to $2.50 per GB; DataImpulse listed a flat $1.00/GB ($0.80 at 1 TB) and Databay Flex $0.55/GB from a 25 GB minimum, valid 31 days. Our comparison is a dated sample of 8 providers, read on 13 October 2026; other providers sell for less at some volumes, and prices change often. We do not claim to be the cheapest at any volume. ### Why do some providers sell no 1 GB plan? Low-cost providers often set a minimum spend: 10 GB at Geonode, $50 at DataImpulse after its intro pack, 50 GB at Shifter. A 1 GB plan costs more per GB but lets you test a target before you commit. ### Are Japanese IPs more expensive than US IPs? Not at most providers in this table, which charge the same rate for every country. SOAX is an exception: it groups countries into price tiers. Check the country list of any provider that uses tiers. ### How often is this comparison updated? Prices were read on 13 October 2026, as shown at the top of the table. Prices change often, so check the provider's page before you buy. ### Why are some providers missing? We include providers that 2026 Japan proxy guides cite and whose pricing page we could read on the day. Bright Data's page could not be read on 13 October 2026, and SOAX does not say which price tier Japan is in. ### Do these prices apply to Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong? Yes, for every provider in this grid: each sells one residential price list for all countries. JapanProxies also charges the same price in Japan, [South Korea](https://japanproxies.com/residential-proxies/south-korea/), [Taiwan](https://japanproxies.com/residential-proxies/taiwan/) and [Hong Kong](https://japanproxies.com/residential-proxies/hong-kong/). SOAX, outside the grid, prices countries by tier. ## Pricing pages read on 13 October 2026 1. [Residential proxies pricing](https://dataimpulse.com/residential-proxies/) — DataImpulse (2026-10-13) 2.

Of the 10 providers whose prices we could read on 13 October 2026, 9 charge East Asian IPs at the same rate as other countries; SOAX is the exception, with country price tiers. The bigger differences are elsewhere: entry prices from $3.50 to $50, traffic that expires monthly or never, crypto accepted or not, and identity checks from none stated to KYC for every customer. **JapanProxies**, which takes crypto with no KYC, compiled this index; reuse it with a link. ## The index in four numbers - **9 of 10** providers with readable prices charge Japan like any other country - **$3.50–$50** smallest paid purchase for Japanese IPs - **6 of 11** other providers accept crypto, per their own pages - **9 of 11** other providers list city targeting somewhere (Japanese city coverage not checked) ## Conditions by provider (13 October 2026) Read on each provider's own pricing, KYC or help pages unless the cell names another source. "Not stated" means we found no statement on the pages we read. *"Not checked" means the point was outside what we verified for this index. Bright Data's KYC rule was read on its documentation on 5 October 2026. City targeting is listed from each provider's own page or a 2026 review; we did not check which Japanese cities each one covers.* | Provider | Smallest paid purchase | Traffic expiry | Crypto | Identity checks | City targeting | Japan priced like other countries | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | JapanProxies | $25 minimum top-up (1 GB plan $2.62; the rest stays on the balance, not refundable) | Never | Yes: BTC, ETH, USDC, USDT, SOL, LTC | None | Yes, country and city (availability varies); ASN at no extra cost | Yes | | DataImpulse | $5 (5 GB intro, once), then $50 | Never | Yes (crypto wallet) | Not stated on pricing page | Yes, extra cost (own page) | Yes | | Geonode | $5 (3-day paid trial, read 14 Oct 2026), then $7.92 (10 GB, monthly) | Does not expire | Not stated | Not stated | Not checked | Yes | | Databay Flex | $13.75 (25 GB minimum) | 31 days | Not stated | Not stated | No (country only) | Yes ($0.55/GB flat) | | Shifter | $50 (50 GB, Full Geo, monthly; sale price, list $175) | Monthly | Yes: BTC, ETH, SOL, TRON, LTC and more | Not stated | Yes, Full Geo pool (own page) | Yes | | Webshare | $3.50 (1 GB, monthly, sale price) | Monthly | No | For certain targets | Yes (own page) | Yes | | Decodo | $4.00 (1 GB, pay-as-you-go) | Monthly plans | Yes | Not stated | Yes; ZIP level in Japan (AIMultiple) | Yes | | Oxylabs | $30 (5 GB, monthly) | Monthly | No | KYC questionnaire for every customer | Yes; Japanese cities (Proxyway) | Yes | | IPRoyal | $7.35 (1 GB) | Never | Yes | Identity verification for unrestricted access | Yes (own page) | Yes | | NodeMaven | $3.50 (750 MB paid trial, read 14 Oct 2026), then $8.50 (2 GB, monthly) | Rolls over | Yes: BTC, ETH, USDT, SOL and more | No statement on pricing page | Yes (own page) | Yes | | SOAX | Free Sandbox plan; $2.00–$5.00 per GB by country tier | 60-day credits | After KYC | KYC to pay in crypto | Yes, city and ASN (Proxyway) | No: country tiers | | Bright Data | Pricing page not read on 13 Oct 2026 | — | Not listed | Company KYC for Residential (zones after 7 Jul 2026) | Yes, city and ZIP (archived pricing page, 24 Sep 2026) | Not checked | *Prices checked on October 13, 2026.* ## Finding 1: Japan is not a premium market for most providers Nine of the 10 providers whose prices we could read sell one residential pool at one price, whatever the country, so Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese and Hong Kong IPs cost the same as US or European ones. SOAX is the exception: it "groups countries into three geo tiers based on the cost of serving each market", charging $2.00 to $5.00 per GB on its Sandbox plan, and its pricing page did not say which tier Japan belongs to on 13 October 2026. ## Finding 2: low rates usually come in larger blocks The smallest paid purchase ranges from $3.50 (Webshare's 1 GB monthly plan, at a sale price) to $50 (Shifter's 50 GB plan, and DataImpulse after its one-time intro pack). Low per-GB rates usually come in larger blocks: Geonode from 10 GB ($7.92), Databay Flex from 25 GB ($13.75), Shifter from 50 GB ($50). At JapanProxies the minimum cash outlay is the $25 top-up (1 GB costs $2.62; the rest stays on the balance, never expires and is not refundable): more than Webshare, Decodo, IPRoyal, Geonode, NodeMaven or Databay, less than Oxylabs, Shifter or DataImpulse after its intro pack. ## Finding 3: six of the 11 providers let traffic expire Four providers say traffic does not expire or rolls over: DataImpulse, Geonode, IPRoyal and NodeMaven, as at JapanProxies. Four sell monthly plans that reset each billing period (Webshare, Decodo, Oxylabs, Shifter), Databay Flex traffic lasts 31 days, and SOAX credits last 60 days on monthly plans. For occasional checks, expiry can double the real cost per GB used. ## Finding 4: crypto and identity checks split the market Six of the 11 other providers accept crypto according to their own pages: DataImpulse, Shifter, Decodo, IPRoyal, NodeMaven and SOAX, which accepts it only after KYC. Webshare and Oxylabs do not accept crypto; Geonode, Databay and Bright Data do not state it on the pages we read. Identity checks vary just as much. Oxylabs writes that "every customer has to answer a KYC questionnaire"; Bright Data requires company KYC for Residential zones created after 7 July 2026; IPRoyal uses identity verification for unrestricted access; Webshare asks for KYC to unblock certain targets. JapanProxies asks for none: no ID, no selfie, no documents. ## Finding 5: where to get city targeting inside Japan Nine of the 11 other providers list city targeting, on their own pages or in 2026 reviews; Shifter lists it on its Full Geo pool. For Japan specifically, reviews confirm Decodo (ZIP level, per AIMultiple), Oxylabs (several Japanese cities, per Proxyway) and SOAX (city and ASN, per Proxyway). JapanProxies offers country and city targeting (city availability varies); Databay Flex targets countries only, and one provider (Geonode) was not checked. We did not check which Japanese cities each provider covers: if your work depends on Tokyo or Osaka, test that city first. ## How this index was built - **Providers**: those cited in 2026 guides to Japanese and Korean proxies (AIMultiple, Proxyway, DataImpulse's Japan guide), plus Geonode, Shifter, Databay and NodeMaven, which publish low per-GB rates or East Asian location pages. NetNut, disrupted in July 2026, and brands named in Google's January 2026 IPIDEA action are excluded. - **Date**: pricing, KYC and help pages read on 13 October 2026; Bright Data's KYC rule on 5 October 2026. - **Rules**: the smallest purchase a new customer can make without a coupon; sale prices shown without an end date are marked. - **Limits**: we did not test speed or success rates. Performance figures elsewhere on this site are quoted from AIMultiple. - **Reuse**: free to quote and reuse with a link to this page. ## Questions about the index ### Which providers sell Japanese residential IPs without KYC and for crypto? JapanProxies asks for no ID and accepts crypto. Among the others, DataImpulse, Shifter, Decodo and NodeMaven accept crypto; the pages we read do not mention KYC either way, so check their terms before you buy. SOAX accepts crypto only after KYC. ### How do I test Japanese IPs on a small budget? Buy a small plan that does not expire, and count the minimum spend. The lowest cash outlays were $3.50: Webshare's 1 GB monthly plan (sale price, 13 October 2026) and NodeMaven's 750 MB paid trial (read 14 October 2026); DataImpulse offered 5 GB for $5 once to new customers. At JapanProxies the minimum top-up is $25, of which 1 GB costs $2.62; the rest stays on your balance, never expires and is not refundable. ### Can I reuse this data? Yes, with a link to this page. Please keep the date: prices and conditions change often. ### Will the index be updated? We plan to re-read the pages and publish a dated update. Each update keeps the reading date next to the figures. ### Where are the prices per GB for each volume? In the [Japan price comparison](https://japanproxies.com/compare/japan-residential-proxy-prices/), which lists the same providers at seven volumes from 1 GB to 1 TB, read on 13 October 2026. ### Does JapanProxies appear in this index? Yes, as the first row, so you can compare it on the same criteria. JapanProxies publishes the index and says so; its own figures come from its price list, not from a third party. ## Pages read for this index 1.

Each answer links to the page with the details. **Quick answer — What is JapanProxies?** **JapanProxies** is a residential proxy provider for Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong: rotating residential IPs billed per GB, with traffic that never expires, paid in crypto with no KYC — no ID, no selfie, no documents. As of October 2026, 1 GB costs $2.62 and plans from 100 GB cost $0.50/GB. It is operated by ProxyGoat LLC, a US company whose team has been in the proxy business since 2019. ## Product ### Which countries does JapanProxies cover? Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong, each with its own page. The service must not be used from mainland China, North Korea or sanctioned countries. ### What is a residential proxy? A proxy that sends your request out through the internet connection of a home. Websites see an IP address from a local internet provider, as for any person browsing at home. See [residential proxies](https://japanproxies.com/residential-proxies/). ### Can I choose a city, such as Tokyo or Seoul? JapanProxies offers city targeting on every plan, in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan: Add a city to the username, such as -city-tokyo, -city-seoul or -city-taipei: you get an IP in that city when the pool has one online there. City availability varies. ASN targeting, such as `-asn-4713` for NTT OCN, is included at no extra cost. ### Can I choose the internet provider, such as NTT or HiNet? JapanProxies does not offer provider selection. The exit IP belongs to the provider of the home behind it. A WHOIS lookup shows which one. ### Do you sell static residential or ISP proxies? JapanProxies does not sell static residential or ISP proxies. Sticky sessions keep one IP for up to 30 minutes, but no IP is reserved for you for months. ### Do you sell dedicated 4G/5G ports? We sell dedicated 4G/5G ports in Japan and South Korea (not in Taiwan or Hong Kong) for $5.93 per day or $89.25 per 30 days, with unlimited data under fair use. They are on the [pricing page](https://japanproxies.com/pricing/). ### Is JapanProxies a shopping or forwarding service? JapanProxies is not a shopping or forwarding service. Services that buy from Japanese stores and ship abroad are also called "Japan proxy services". JapanProxies is a network service: your own software connects through a residential IP in East Asia. ## Prices and payment ### How much does it cost? As of October 2026: $2.62 for 1 GB, $4.95 for 5 GB, $6.60 for 10 GB, $26 for 50 GB, and $0.50/GB from 100 GB to 1 TB, paid from a $25 minimum top-up. All prices on the [pricing page](https://japanproxies.com/pricing/). ### Is JapanProxies the cheapest? JapanProxies does not claim to be the cheapest. Our dated [price comparison](https://japanproxies.com/compare/japan-residential-proxy-prices/) is a sample of 8 providers; other providers sell for less at some volumes, and prices change often. We focus on no KYC, crypto payment, traffic that never expires and East Asian checks. ### Which cryptocurrencies do you accept? BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC: USDT on TRC-20 or ERC-20, USDC on ERC-20. No cards, PayPal, bank transfers, Alipay or WeChat Pay. ### What is the minimum top-up? $25. You can then buy any plan from your balance. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, but it is not paid back, except where the law requires it. ### Does traffic expire? Residential traffic at JapanProxies never expires. Dedicated mobile ports run for the days you bought. ### How long does a crypto payment take? Your balance is credited once the payment is confirmed on the blockchain and matched to your order. Networks need different numbers of confirmations: SOL 1, BTC 2, ETH and ERC-20 tokens 12, USDT on TRC-20 20. See [how payment works](https://japanproxies.com/pay-with-crypto/). ### Can I get a refund? Within 72 hours of purchase, a residential plan is credited back to your balance if you used less than 20% of its traffic and no more than 1 GB; a plan that does not work, and that support cannot fix within 24 hours, is credited back in full. Dedicated ports: within 24 hours of delivery (2 hours for a 1-day port), the port is credited back to your balance in full if it does not work and we cannot fix or replace it, or if it has carried less than 500 MB. A port we cannot deliver within 24 hours is credited back in full. If a port stops working later and support cannot fix it within 24 hours, the lost days are credited back. Top-ups are not paid back, except where the law requires it. See the [refund policy](https://japanproxies.com/refunds/). ## Account and privacy ### Do I need to verify my identity? JapanProxies does not verify identities. No KYC — no ID, no selfie, no documents. Account-number login; email is optional. ### What data do you keep? We do not log the content of your requests, full URLs or page data. To handle abuse reports and billing disputes, we keep connection metadata (time, account, exit IP, target hostname, bytes) for up to 30 days, then delete it. We keep your account number, orders, top-up records and traffic totals while your account is open, and afterwards only as long as accounting rules require. We disclose records to authorities only when the law requires it. Our upstream network provider may keep its own logs under its own policy. Details in the [privacy policy](https://japanproxies.com/privacy/). ### I lost my account number. What can I do? If you added an email address, write to support@japanproxies.com from it. Without an email, a lost account number cannot be recovered, so store it in a password manager. We never ask for your account number by email or chat. ### Is my traffic logged? We do not log the content of your requests, full URLs or page data. To handle abuse reports and billing disputes, we keep connection metadata (time, account, exit IP, target hostname, bytes) for up to 30 days, then delete it. We keep your account number, orders, top-up records and traffic totals while your account is open, and afterwards only as long as accounting rules require. We disclose records to authorities only when the law requires it. Our upstream network provider may keep its own logs under its own policy. The [privacy policy](https://japanproxies.com/privacy/) lists every item. ## Setup and use ### How do I connect? Host `gw.japanproxies.com`, port 7777 for HTTP/HTTPS or 7778 for SOCKS5, username `USERNAME-country-jp` (or `kr`, `tw`, `hk`) and your password. See the [setup guide](https://japanproxies.com/guides/setup/). ### How do sticky sessions work? Add `-session-ID-ttl-MINUTES` to the username. The same session ID keeps the same IP for up to 30 minutes; the IP can change earlier if the residential device goes offline. A new ID usually gives a new IP. ### Why does my Japanese IP show Tokyo, or another country? IP location databases estimate locations, and some place Japanese home IPs at the provider's registered city. Compare two or three databases; see [why a proxy shows the wrong location](https://japanproxies.com/guides/check-proxy-location/). ### What can I use JapanProxies for? Legitimate checks: search results, ad verification, public prices, localization testing and privacy. See the [use cases](https://japanproxies.com/use-cases/) and the [acceptable use policy](https://japanproxies.com/acceptable-use/). ### What is not allowed? Fraud, spam, attacks, unauthorized access, collection of personal data without a legal basis, automated buying of tickets or limited stock, and anything illegal where you or the target are. Blocked for everyone: Banking, government and payment-portal sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587. ### Is it legal to use a residential proxy in Japan or Korea? We found no law in either country that bans proxies as such; the laws apply to what you do through them. See [proxy rules in Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong](https://japanproxies.com/guides/proxy-laws-east-asia/). This is not legal advice. ## Company and support ### Who runs JapanProxies? ProxyGoat LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (USA). The team has been in the proxy business since 2019. See [about us](https://japanproxies.com/about/). ### How long has the team behind JapanProxies been in the proxy business? JapanProxies is operated by ProxyGoat LLC, by a team in the proxy business since 2019. ### How do I contact support? Email support@japanproxies.com. Email replies within 12 hours, 7 days a week. Abuse reports go to abuse@japanproxies.com. ### Do you have Telegram, chat or a phone line? No. JapanProxies works by email only, at the two addresses on the [contact page](https://japanproxies.com/contact/). Treat any other channel that uses our name as unofficial. ### Will the site be available in Japanese and Korean? Japanese and Korean versions may be added first, then Traditional Chinese for Taiwan. The English pages are the reference. --- JapanProxies: JapanProxies is a residential proxy provider for Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong: rotating residential IPs billed per GB, with traffic that never expires, paid in crypto with no KYC — no ID, no selfie, no documents. --- # Glossary: proxies and the East Asian web > Plain definitions of residential proxy and East Asian web terms: sticky session, CONNECT, SOCKS5, APNIC, FLET'S, HiNet, Naver, travel rule, TRC-20 and more. - URL: https://japanproxies.com/glossary/ - Last updated: 2026-10-13 - Publisher: JapanProxies (https://japanproxies.com) Short definitions of the proxy, network, search and payment terms used on this site. **Quick answer — What do the main terms on this site mean?** A **residential proxy** routes your request through a home internet connection, here in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan or Hong Kong. A **sticky session** keeps one IP for a while; **rotation** gives a new IP per request. **JapanProxies** uses a country code in the username (`jp`, `kr`, `tw`, `hk`), sells traffic per GB from $2.62 for 1 GB, and takes crypto with no KYC. The terms below explain the rest. ## Proxy terms **Residential proxy** — A proxy whose exit IP belongs to a home internet connection, assigned by a local internet provider. **Datacenter proxy** — A proxy whose exit IP belongs to a hosting company. Usually faster and cheaper, but not seen as a home visitor. **Static residential (ISP) proxy** — An IP registered to an internet provider and reserved for one customer for a long period. JapanProxies does not sell this product. **Exit IP** — The IP address a website sees when your request arrives through the proxy. **Gateway** — The server you connect to, `gw.japanproxies.com`, which forwards your traffic to an exit IP in the country you chose. **Rotation** — Getting an IP from the pool for each new connection, usually a different one; the default when no session is set. Send one request per connection to change IP on every request. **Sticky session** — Keeping the same exit IP for a set time by reusing a session ID in the username. At JapanProxies: the time you set (ttl, in minutes), up to 30 minutes; the IP can change earlier, for example if the residential device goes offline. **Session ID** — Letters and digits you choose in the username (`-session-a1`). The same ID keeps the same IP while the exit stays online; a new ID usually gives a new one. **TTL** — Time to live: how many minutes a sticky session lasts, set with `-ttl-MINUTES`. **Country targeting** — Choosing the exit country with a two-letter code in the username, such as `jp` for Japan. **City targeting** — Choosing an exit city with `-city-NAME` in the username, such as `-city-osaka`. JapanProxies includes it on every plan; city availability varies. **HTTP CONNECT** — The method an HTTP proxy uses to open a tunnel for HTTPS traffic, so the connection to the site stays encrypted end to end. **SOCKS5** — A proxy protocol that carries any TCP traffic. Use `socks5h` so the hostname is resolved at the exit. **407 error** — Proxy Authentication Required: the proxy rejected the username or password. **Per-GB billing** — Paying for the data that goes through the proxy, not for time or for the number of IPs. **Dedicated 4G/5G port** — One mobile modem with a local carrier SIM reserved for one customer, billed per day, with a new IP on request. ## Networks and IP addresses in East Asia **APNIC** — The regional internet registry for Asia-Pacific, which allocates IP addresses in the region. **JPNIC, KRNIC, TWNIC** — National internet registries of Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, working under APNIC. **WHOIS** — A public lookup that shows which organisation holds an IP address range. **IP geolocation** — An estimate of where an IP address is used, made by database companies from registry, routing and measurement data. **Geofeed (RFC 8805)** — A file in which a network states where its IP ranges are used, so geolocation databases can correct their data. **FLET'S Hikari** — NTT East and NTT West's fibre network in Japan, resold by many internet providers. **HiNet** — Chunghwa Telecom's internet service, Taiwan's largest home broadband provider. **KT, SK Broadband, LG U+** — The three main home broadband operators in South Korea. **HKT, HKBN** — Two of the main home broadband providers in Hong Kong. ## Search and shopping in East Asia **Yahoo! JAPAN** — A major Japanese portal run by LY Corporation. Its search uses Google's search technology, with its own ads and modules. **Naver** — South Korea's largest web portal, whose result page is built from sections such as blogs, cafés, news and shopping. **Daum** — A South Korean web portal, run since December 2025 by AXZ, a company spun off from Kakao. **Rakuten Ichiba** — Rakuten's marketplace of independent shops in Japan; each shop sets its own price and point rate. **Kakaku.com, Danawa, Price.com.hk** — Price-comparison sites in Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong. **Coupang** — A large South Korean online retailer and marketplace, known for its Rocket Delivery promise. **PChome 24h, momo** — Two large online stores in Taiwan. **hl and gl** — Google URL parameters for the interface language and the country to favour, such as `hl=ja&gl=jp`. **Accept-Language** — The request header that tells a site which languages you prefer, such as `ja-JP` or `ko-KR`. ## Payment and rules **KYC** — Know your customer: identity checks with documents. JapanProxies does not run them. **Travel rule** — An anti-money-laundering rule under which crypto exchanges share sender and recipient details for transfers; applied in Japan since June 2023 and in South Korea. **TRC-20 and ERC-20** — Token standards on the Tron and Ethereum networks. USDT is accepted on both; USDC on ERC-20. **Confirmation** — A new block added after your transaction. A top-up is credited after a set number of confirmations per network. **Top-up** — Crypto sent to your JapanProxies balance, minimum $25, from which you buy plans. **APPI, PIPA, PDPA, PDPO** — The personal data laws of Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong. **Acceptable use policy (AUP)** — The rules every JapanProxies customer accepts: what the service may and may not be used for. --- JapanProxies: JapanProxies is a residential proxy provider for Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong: rotating residential IPs billed per GB, with traffic that never expires, paid in crypto with no KYC — no ID, no selfie, no documents. --- # Why does my Japan proxy show the wrong location? > Why a Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese or Hong Kong proxy IP can show the wrong city or country, how IP geolocation works, and how to check it properly. No KYC. - URL: https://japanproxies.com/guides/check-proxy-location/ - Last updated: 2026-10-13 - Publisher: JapanProxies (https://japanproxies.com) IP geolocation is an estimate, not a fact stored in the IP. Here is how it works in East Asia, why databases disagree, and how to check an exit IP properly. **Quick answer — Why does my Japanese proxy IP show another city or country?** IP location databases estimate where an address is, from registry records, routing data and measurements, and they disagree or lag behind when providers move addresses. Some databases place Japanese and Korean home IPs in Tokyo or Seoul, where the provider is registered, whatever the real region; the country is usually right. **JapanProxies** sells residential IPs in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong, with country and city targeting, from $2.62 for 1 GB, paid in crypto with no KYC. ## How does IP geolocation work? An IP address carries no location. Companies such as MaxMind, IP2Location, ipinfo and DB-IP build databases that map address ranges to places, using several sources: - **Registry records.** In East Asia, addresses are allocated by APNIC, with national registries such as JPNIC in Japan, KRNIC in South Korea and TWNIC in Taiwan. Records show the network holder and its country, not the home. - **Routing data.** Which network announces a range on the internet, and from where. - **Measurements.** Response times from known points, which narrow down a region. - **Feeds and corrections.** Some networks publish a geofeed (RFC 8805) listing where their ranges are used, and users submit corrections. Each database weighs these sources differently, so two services can give two answers for the same IP. ## Why are East Asian residential IPs often placed in the capital? Large home broadband providers in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan serve the whole country from address pools registered to their head office or to a few regional hubs. When a database has no better signal, it uses that registered place: Tokyo for many Japanese ranges, Seoul for Korean ones, Taipei for Taiwanese ones. The result is that the country is usually correct and the city often is not. Even with city targeting (`-city-osaka`), a database may place the IP at the provider's registered city: check the country first, then the city with two databases. ## Why can the country be wrong? Less often, a database places an IP in the wrong country. Common causes: - **Recently moved ranges.** A provider started using an address range in another country, and the database has not caught up. - **Networks that operate in several places.** A range registered to a regional company can be placed where the company is registered, not where the home is. - **Old data.** Free databases are updated less often than paid ones. If an IP-check page shows a country other than the one you asked for, check it on two more services before you contact support. ## How do I check an exit IP properly? 1. Use a sticky session, so every check sees the same IP: `USERNAME-country-jp-session-geo1-ttl-10`. 2. Ask two or three services, for example `https://ipinfo.io/json` and the lookup pages of MaxMind or IP2Location. 3. Look at the WHOIS record of the IP on APNIC: the network name tells you which provider it belongs to. 4. Compare the country, not only the city. For search and price checks the country is what matters. 5. If you still believe the country is wrong, email support@japanproxies.com with the IP, the time and the services you used. *curl: compare the country of one exit IP on two services* ```bash P="http://USERNAME-country-jp-session-geo1-ttl-10:PASSWORD@gw.japanproxies.com:7777" curl -s -x "$P" https://ipinfo.io/json curl -s -x "$P" https://api.country.is/ ``` ## What does a website do with my location? Each site uses its own database, or its own signals. Google, for example, shows "based on your IP address" or a similar note in its page footer and uses other signals too. Your own site may use the database built into your CDN. That is why a check through a residential IP should be judged on the page itself: does it show yen prices, Korean results or the Hong Kong version? If your own site places an IP in the wrong country, its database may need an update; see [localization testing](https://japanproxies.com/use-cases/localization-testing/). ## Location questions ### Can I choose Tokyo or Seoul? JapanProxies offers city targeting: add `-city-tokyo` or `-city-seoul` to the username; city availability varies. As this page explains, some databases place Japanese and Korean home IPs in Tokyo or Seoul whatever their real region, so check the city with two databases. ### Which IP location database is the most accurate? None is right every time. Paid databases are usually updated more often than free ones. For a decision, compare two or three and check the WHOIS record. ### Can I ask a database to correct an IP? Yes. MaxMind and other providers accept correction requests on their websites. Network operators can also publish a geofeed (RFC 8805). ### Does a wrong city change search results? It can change local results and maps, not usually the national rankings. For national checks, a country-level IP is enough. ### What if the country is wrong on every service? Email support@japanproxies.com with the IP, the time with its time zone and the country code you used. Change the session ID to get another IP meanwhile. ## Sources 1.

General information, not legal advice. **Quick answer — Is it legal to use a residential proxy in Japan, Korea, Taiwan or Hong Kong?** We found no law in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan or Hong Kong that bans using a proxy as such. The laws that matter apply to what you do through it: personal data laws (APPI in Japan, PIPA in Korea, the PDPA in Taiwan, the PDPO in Hong Kong) and computer misuse laws that forbid entering systems without authority. Site terms also apply. **JapanProxies** sells residential IPs in all four places from $2.62 for 1 GB, paid in crypto with no KYC, for legitimate uses only. This is not legal advice. ## The main laws at a glance *Official English texts are linked in the sources at the bottom of this page.* | Place | Personal data | Computer misuse | Regulator for personal data | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Japan | Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI) | Act on Prohibition of Unauthorized Computer Access (Act No. 128 of 1999) | Personal Information Protection Commission | | South Korea | Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) | Network Act, Article 48 (intrusion into information and communications networks) | Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC) | | Taiwan | Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) | Criminal Code, Chapter 36: offences against computer security (Articles 358–363) | The competent authorities named under the PDPA | | Hong Kong | Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance, Cap. 486 (PDPO) | Crimes Ordinance, Cap. 200, section 161; Telecommunications Ordinance, Cap. 106, section 27A | Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD) | ## What does Japanese law say? - **Personal information.** The APPI governs how businesses handle personal information of people in Japan. It also applies to businesses outside Japan that handle such information in connection with supplying goods or services to people in Japan. Collecting names, contact details or other personal data through a proxy is covered like any other collection. - **Unauthorized access.** The Act on Prohibition of Unauthorized Computer Access forbids entering a computer that has access controls by using another person's ID and password, or by exploiting a security flaw (Article 3), and forbids obtaining someone else's ID for that purpose (Article 4). - **What it means in practice.** Viewing public pages through a Japanese IP is not unauthorized access. Signing in with credentials that are not yours, or getting past a login, is. ## What does South Korean law say? - **Personal information.** PIPA governs the processing of personal information and is enforced by the Personal Information Protection Commission. Collecting personal information of people in Korea needs a legal basis under the Act. - **Network intrusion.** Article 48 of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection (the Network Act) forbids entering an information and communications network without a legitimate right of access, or beyond the access permitted. - **What it means in practice.** Viewing public Naver or Coupang pages signed out usually raises no question under Article 48; large-scale collection can still raise contract, database or unfair-competition claims. Using an account that is not yours, or going beyond the access a service gives you, does. ## What does Taiwanese law say? - **Personal data.** The Personal Data Protection Act governs the collection, processing and use of personal data, by public bodies and by non-government agencies, including companies. - **Computer security offences.** Chapter 36 of the Criminal Code (Articles 358 to 363) covers offences such as entering another person's computer without reason by using their account and password, by cracking protection measures or by exploiting a system flaw, and interfering with computers. - **What it means in practice.** Viewing public PChome or Google Taiwan pages through a Taiwanese IP is ordinary browsing; entering accounts or systems without authority is a criminal matter. ## What does Hong Kong law say? - **Personal data.** The Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486) sets data protection principles for collecting, holding and using personal data, enforced by the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data. - **Computer access.** Section 161 of the Crimes Ordinance (Cap. 200) covers obtaining access to a computer with criminal or dishonest intent, and section 27A of the Telecommunications Ordinance (Cap. 106) covers unauthorized access to a computer by telecommunications. - **Use from mainland China.** The JapanProxies service must not be used from mainland China. Our [acceptable use policy](https://japanproxies.com/acceptable-use/) forbids using the service to reach content or services that the law of the user's location prohibits. ## What about the websites' own rules? Every site has terms of use, and many restrict automated access or the reuse of their content. A proxy changes your IP address; it does not change those terms. Breaking them can lead to blocked access and, in some cases, to legal claims under contract or unfair competition law. Practical rules that keep checks clean: - prefer official APIs and tools where they exist (Google Search Console, Naver Developers, Kakao Developers, Rakuten Web Service, the Coupang Open API); - view public pages, signed out, at a human pace; - respect robots.txt and a site's decision about whom it serves; - collect personal information only with a legal basis, and keep as little as you can. ## What does JapanProxies allow? JapanProxies is for legitimate checks: search results, ad verification, public prices, localization testing and privacy. Our [acceptable use policy](https://japanproxies.com/acceptable-use/) forbids fraud, spam, attacks, unauthorized access, collecting personal data without a legal basis, and reaching services that the user's local law prohibits. These targets are blocked for every customer: Banking, government and payment-portal sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587. Abuse reports are reviewed by a person, and confirmed abuse leads to suspension. ## Legal questions ### Is using a Japanese IP from abroad illegal? We found no Japanese law that makes it illegal in itself. What you do through the IP is what Japanese law, and the site's terms, look at: personal data handling, unauthorized access, fraud and similar acts. ### Is web scraping legal in Japan or Korea? It depends on what you collect and how. Personal data laws, computer misuse laws, copyright and each site's terms all apply. Official APIs avoid most questions. Get legal advice for any large or sensitive project. ### Do I need permission to check my own ads or rankings? Checking how your own pages and ads appear to the public is ordinary use. Follow the platform's terms and prefer its own reporting tools for volume. ### Does JapanProxies give legal advice? No. This page is general information with links to official texts. For your situation, ask a lawyer qualified in the country concerned. ### Can I use JapanProxies from mainland China? The JapanProxies service must not be used from mainland China, North Korea or countries under comprehensive sanctions, under our acceptable use policy. ## Official texts 1.

Copy-paste examples for the tools people use most. **Quick answer — How do I connect to a Japanese residential proxy?** Point your tool at `gw.japanproxies.com` on port 7777 for HTTP and HTTPS, or port 7778 for SOCKS5, with your **JapanProxies** password and the username `USERNAME-country-jp`. Use `kr`, `tw` or `hk` for South Korea, Taiwan or Hong Kong. Add `-session-ID-ttl-30` to keep one IP for 30 minutes. Plans start at $2.62 for 1 GB, paid in crypto with no KYC. ## Connection details | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Host | `gw.japanproxies.com` | | HTTP / HTTPS port | 7777 | | SOCKS5 port | 7778 | | Username format | `USERNAME-country-{cc}-city-{city}-asn-{asn}-session-{id}-ttl-{minutes}` | | Country codes | `jp` Japan · `kr` South Korea · `tw` Taiwan · `hk` Hong Kong | | Session ID | Letters and digits you choose; the same ID keeps the same IP while the exit stays online | | Session length (ttl) | the time you set (ttl, in minutes), up to 30 minutes; the IP can change earlier, for example if the residential device goes offline | | Password | From your dashboard | ## What goes in the username? *USERNAME is the base username shown in your dashboard. City segments are not supported in East Asia yet.* | Username | What you get | | --- | --- | | `USERNAME-country-jp` | A Japanese residential IP; each new connection usually gets a different one | | `USERNAME-country-jp-city-osaka` | A residential IP in Osaka when one is online (city availability varies) | | `USERNAME-country-kr-asn-4766` | A Korean IP on KT's network (ASN 4766), at no extra cost | | `USERNAME-country-kr-session-a1-ttl-30` | One Korean IP for up to 30 minutes, as long as you reuse session `a1` | | `USERNAME-country-tw-session-b7-ttl-30` | One Taiwanese IP for up to 30 minutes; it can change earlier if the device goes offline | | `USERNAME-country-hk-session-c2-ttl-10` | One Hong Kong IP for up to 10 minutes | ## How do I test the connection with curl? Run these commands first. The first two print the exit IP and its country (HTTP, then SOCKS5); the third shows that a sticky session keeps the same IP. If both show the right country, any tool will work. *curl: HTTP and SOCKS5 tests* ```bash # HTTP proxy (also carries HTTPS through CONNECT) curl -x http://USERNAME-country-jp:PASSWORD@gw.japanproxies.com:7777 https://ipinfo.io/json # SOCKS5, with the hostname resolved at the exit curl --socks5-hostname gw.japanproxies.com:7778 -U USERNAME-country-kr:PASSWORD https://ipinfo.io/json # Sticky session: run twice, the IP stays the same curl -x http://USERNAME-country-tw-session-test1-ttl-30:PASSWORD@gw.japanproxies.com:7777 https://ipinfo.io/ip ``` ## How do I use the proxy in Python? With `requests`, pass the same proxy URL for `http` and `https`: the gateway handles HTTPS through CONNECT. If your password contains characters such as `@` or `:`, URL-encode it. For SOCKS5, install `requests[socks]` and use `socks5h://` so DNS is resolved at the exit. *Python (requests): rotating and sticky* ```python from urllib.parse import quote import requests GATEWAY = "gw.japanproxies.com:7777" PASSWORD = quote("PASSWORD", safe="") # encode special characters def proxies(user): url = f"http://{quote(user, safe='')}:{PASSWORD}@{GATEWAY}" return {"http": url, "https": url} # Rotating: each new connection (one per request here) usually gets a new Japanese IP for _ in range(3): print(requests.get("https://ipinfo.io/ip", proxies=proxies("USERNAME-country-jp"), timeout=30).text) # Sticky: the same Korean IP for up to 30 minutes sticky = proxies("USERNAME-country-kr-session-kr42-ttl-30") for _ in range(3): print(requests.get("https://ipinfo.io/ip", proxies=sticky, timeout=30).text) ``` *Python (requests) over SOCKS5 — pip install "requests[socks]"* ```python import requests proxy = "socks5h://USERNAME-country-hk:PASSWORD@gw.japanproxies.com:7778" r = requests.get("https://ipinfo.io/json", proxies={"http": proxy, "https": proxy}, timeout=30) print(r.json()["country"]) # HK ``` ## How do I use the proxy in Node.js? The `undici` package, which powers Node's built-in `fetch`, has a `ProxyAgent` for HTTP proxies. Install it with `npm install undici` and pass the agent as the `dispatcher`. *Node.js (undici): fetch through a Taiwanese IP* ```javascript import { ProxyAgent, fetch } from "undici"; const agent = new ProxyAgent( "http://USERNAME-country-tw-session-tw7-ttl-30:PASSWORD@gw.japanproxies.com:7777" ); const res = await fetch("https://ipinfo.io/json", { dispatcher: agent }); const info = await res.json(); console.log(info.ip, info.country); // TW ``` ## How do I use the proxy in Playwright or Puppeteer? Browsers take the server and the credentials separately. In Playwright, pass them in the `proxy` option of `launch()`; set the `locale` and `timezoneId` of the context to match the country when you test localization. In Puppeteer, pass `--proxy-server` at launch and call `page.authenticate()` before the first request. *Playwright (Python): a Japanese browser context* ```python from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright with sync_playwright() as p: browser = p.chromium.launch(proxy={ "server": "http://gw.japanproxies.com:7777", "username": "USERNAME-country-jp-session-pw1-ttl-30", "password": "PASSWORD", }) context = browser.new_context(locale="ja-JP", timezone_id="Asia/Tokyo") page = context.new_page() page.goto("https://ipinfo.io/json") print(page.inner_text("body")) browser.close() ``` *Puppeteer (Node.js): a Korean page* ```javascript import puppeteer from "puppeteer"; const browser = await puppeteer.launch({ args: ["--proxy-server=http://gw.japanproxies.com:7777"], }); const page = await browser.newPage(); await page.authenticate({ username: "USERNAME-country-kr-session-pp1-ttl-30", password: "PASSWORD", }); await page.setExtraHTTPHeaders({ "Accept-Language": "ko-KR,ko;q=0.9" }); await page.goto("https://ipinfo.io/json"); console.log(await page.evaluate(() => document.body.innerText)); await browser.close(); ``` ## How do I use the proxy in a browser or on a phone? - **Firefox:** Settings → Network Settings → Manual proxy configuration. Enter `gw.japanproxies.com` and port 7777 for HTTP, tick "Also use this proxy for HTTPS", then type your username and password when Firefox asks. - **Chrome and Edge:** they use the system proxy settings; a proxy extension that supports authentication is easier for switching countries. - **iPhone and iPad:** Settings → Wi-Fi → the (i) next to your network → Configure Proxy → Manual, with server, port and authentication. - **Android:** the built-in Wi-Fi proxy setting does not ask for a username and password, so use an app or test tool that supports proxy authentication. Open an IP-check page after you switch, to confirm the country. ## What do common errors mean? - **407 Proxy Authentication Required:** the username or password is wrong, or a special character in the password is not encoded. - **Connection timeout:** a firewall blocks outgoing traffic to port 7777 or 7778, or the home connection behind the IP went offline; retry with a new session ID. - **Wrong country on an IP-check page:** some geolocation databases place IPs wrongly; see [why a proxy shows the wrong location](https://japanproxies.com/guides/check-proxy-location/). - **A site refuses the connection:** check the site's terms. Banking, government and payment portals and SMTP ports are blocked on every plan. Still stuck? Email support@japanproxies.com with the time, the country code, the tool and the exact error. Email replies within 12 hours, 7 days a week. ## Setup questions ### Can I use IP allowlisting instead of a password? You can add up to 10 IPs to an allowlist; connections from those IPs need no password. A username and password work from any network and in every tool. Sub-users get their own credentials and traffic cap, and API keys can be revoked at any time. ### How do I get a new IP? Without a session, each new connection gets an IP from the pool, usually a different one. To get a new IP on every request, send one request per connection (turn off keep-alive): browsers, `requests.Session` and undici keep connections open. With a sticky session, change the session ID: `session-a1` becomes `session-a2`. ### Can I use several countries at once? Yes. Run several connections with different country codes in the username, all paid from the same plan. ### Is there an API? Yes. Account, top-up, order and usage endpoints are documented in the [API reference](https://japanproxies.com/docs/api/), with API keys you can revoke at any time. ### Were these examples tested? The code was checked for syntax and follows each library's documented proxy options. Replace USERNAME and PASSWORD with your own credentials, then run the curl test first. ### Can a teammate or a script have its own credentials? Create a sub-user: it gets its own username, password and traffic cap, drawn from your plan, and you can remove it at any time. API keys can also be revoked at any time. **Ready to connect?** 1 GB for $2.62 covers your first tests in all four countries. No KYC, pay in crypto.

JAPAN, Naver, Coupang, Rakuten, PChome and HKTVmall from local home IPs. No KYC, pay in crypto. - URL: https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/ - Last updated: 2026-10-13 - Publisher: JapanProxies (https://japanproxies.com) One guide per site: what changes when you open it from a local home connection, what does not, what its rules allow, and the exact proxy settings. **Quick answer — How do I see a Japanese or Korean website the way local visitors do?** Open it through a residential IP in the country, signed out, with the local language set, and respect the site's rules on automated access. These 16 guides cover the main search engines, marketplaces and price-comparison sites of Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong. **JapanProxies** provides the local home-broadband IPs, from $2.62 for 1 GB, paid in crypto, with no KYC. ## Guides by country - [Amazon.co.jp](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/amazon-japan/) - [Coupang](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/coupang/) - [Danawa](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/danawa/) - [Daum Search](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/daum-search/) - [Google Hong Kong](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/google-hong-kong/) - [Google Japan](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/google-japan/) - [Google Korea](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/google-korea/) - [Google Taiwan](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/google-taiwan/) - [HKTVmall](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/hktvmall/) - [Kakaku.com](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/kakaku-com/) - [momo shopping](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/momo-shopping/) - [Naver Search](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/naver-search/) - [PChome 24h Shopping](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/pchome-24h/) - [Price.com.hk](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/price-com-hk/) - [Rakuten Ichiba](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/rakuten-ichiba/) - [Yahoo! JAPAN Search](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/yahoo-japan-search/) ## What does each guide contain? Every guide follows the same plan, so you can compare sites quickly: - **What the site is** and who runs it. - **What changes** with a local IP: results, ads, prices, delivery messages, language. - **What does not change**: signed-in personalisation, delivery addresses, the exact neighbourhood. - **What the site's rules say** about automated access, and the official API or tool to use first when one exists. - **Settings**: username with the country code, URL parameters, language header, and a curl example. ## What rules apply to every local check? - Check public pages, signed out. - Keep the pace close to a person's, and stop if a site slows you down. - Use the official route first: Google Search Console, Naver Search Advisor, Rakuten Web Service, Coupang Open API, or your own seller and merchant tools. - Do not collect personal information without a legal basis. - Respect a site's decision about whom it serves. For example, Yahoo! JAPAN stopped offering most services in the EEA and the UK in 2022; a Japanese IP does not change that choice. The full rules are in our [acceptable use policy](https://japanproxies.com/acceptable-use/). ## Local check questions ### Why is a site missing from the list? We add a guide only when we can describe the site's rules and official tools accurately. If you need a site that is not listed, write to support@japanproxies.com. ### Do the guides work without JapanProxies? Yes. The advice on official tools, sessions, language settings and site rules applies with any residential proxy in the country. The settings shown use the JapanProxies username format. ### Can I check these sites for one city? JapanProxies offers city targeting on every plan: Add a city to the username, such as -city-tokyo, -city-seoul or -city-taipei: you get an IP in that city when the pool has one online there. City availability varies. Each guide says which results depend on the city. ### How often are the guides updated? Each guide shows the date it was last checked. Sites change their pages and rules, so verify the current terms before any automated collection. --- JapanProxies: JapanProxies is a residential proxy provider for Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong: rotating residential IPs billed per GB, with traffic that never expires, paid in crypto with no KYC — no ID, no selfie, no documents. --- # No-KYC residential proxies for Japan and East Asia > Japan and East Asia residential proxies with no KYC: no ID, no selfie, no documents.

What that means, what we still keep, and the rules that make it work. **Quick answer — Can I buy Japan residential proxies without KYC?** **JapanProxies** sells residential IPs in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong with no KYC — no ID, no selfie, no documents. You sign in with an account number, email is optional, and you pay in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC from a $25 top-up. 1 GB costs $2.62 (October 2026). Use is governed by our acceptable use policy, and banking, government and payment portals are blocked. ## No KYC at JapanProxies | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Identity checks | None — no ID, no selfie, no documents | | Login | Account-number login; email is optional | | Payment | Crypto only: BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC | | What we keep | We do not log the content of your requests, full URLs or page data. To handle abuse reports and billing disputes, we keep connection metadata (time, account, exit IP, target hostname, bytes) for up to 30 days, then delete it. We keep your account number, orders, top-up records and traffic totals while your account is open, and afterwards only as long as accounting rules require. We disclose records to authorities only when the law requires it.

KYC ("know your customer") is a check of who you are: a passport or ID card, sometimes a selfie, sometimes company documents. JapanProxies does not run that check. You get an account number at sign-up and use it to log in, add an email only if you want receipts by email, and pay in crypto. No KYC is about privacy and speed. A marketing agency checking a client's rankings in Japan, or a developer testing a Korean version of an app, should not need to upload a passport to do it. ## What do you still know about me? We do not log the content of your requests, full URLs or page data. To handle abuse reports and billing disputes, we keep connection metadata (time, account, exit IP, target hostname, bytes) for up to 30 days, then delete it. We keep your account number, orders, top-up records and traffic totals while your account is open, and afterwards only as long as accounting rules require. We disclose records to authorities only when the law requires it. Our upstream network provider may keep its own logs under its own policy. Crypto payments are recorded on public blockchains, and your exchange may know who you are under its own rules. No KYC on our side does not hide your payment from your exchange or from the law. The [privacy policy](https://japanproxies.com/privacy/) lists every item we keep and why; durations are given where they are fixed. ## How do you keep a no-KYC service legitimate? - **Rules.** Our [acceptable use policy](https://japanproxies.com/acceptable-use/) lists what is allowed and what is not: fraud, spam, attacks, unauthorized access and collection of personal data without a legal basis are forbidden. - **Blocks.** Banking, government and payment-portal sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587 are blocked for every customer. - **Abuse reports.** Abuse reports are reviewed by a person, and confirmed abuse leads to suspension. Reports go to abuse@japanproxies.com. - **Excluded places.** The service must not be used from mainland China, North Korea or countries under comprehensive sanctions. ## Which Japan proxy providers ask for identity checks? Oxylabs (every customer), Bright Data (company KYC for Residential zones created after 7 July 2026), SOAX (before crypto payment), IPRoyal (for unrestricted access) and Webshare (for certain targets) ask for identity checks; JapanProxies asks for none. From each provider's own pages, read on 13 October 2026 (Bright Data: its documentation, 5 October 2026). | Provider | Identity checks | Crypto payment | | --- | --- | --- | | JapanProxies | None | Yes | | Oxylabs | KYC questionnaire for every customer | No | | Bright Data | Company KYC for Residential zones created after 7 July 2026 | Not listed | | SOAX | KYC before paying in crypto | After KYC | | IPRoyal | Identity verification for unrestricted access | Yes | | Webshare | KYC to unblock certain targets | No | | DataImpulse | Not stated on pricing page | Yes | *Prices checked on October 13, 2026.* ## No-KYC questions ### Does no KYC mean nobody can know who I am? No KYC does not mean nobody can know who you are. A proxy changes the IP address that websites see. Your payments are on a public blockchain, your exchange knows its customers, and we keep the records listed in the privacy policy. No KYC means we do not collect your identity documents. ### Why don't you ask for ID? Because the service does not need your identity to work: an account, a balance and traffic are enough. Collecting fewer documents also means fewer documents to protect. ### Can a company buy without KYC? Yes. Companies and individuals buy the same way, with an account number and crypto. If your company needs to know the seller, ProxyGoat LLC is named at checkout and on every receipt. ### Can you refuse or close an account? Yes. We suspend or close accounts that break the acceptable use policy, after reviewing the reports. Abuse reports are reviewed by a person, and confirmed abuse leads to suspension. ### Do Korean or Japanese exchanges need my ID to pay you? They apply their own identity and travel-rule checks to your account. That is between you and your exchange; JapanProxies does not receive your documents.

BTC and ETH are available on registered exchanges. USDC has been available since March 2025 through SBI VC Trade, the first exchange registered to handle electronic payment instruments. - **Travel rule.** Since June 2023, Japanese exchanges apply the travel rule. Before a withdrawal, they may ask who receives the crypto and where; some restrict transfers to exchanges in certain countries. Answer accurately: the recipient is ProxyGoat LLC, a US company, for a proxy service. - **Network.** Withdraw to the address and on the network shown on the payment page, from an account in your own name. ## Paying from South Korea - **Accounts.** Korean exchanges work with real-name bank accounts and apply the travel rule. Most ask you to register and verify the destination address before a withdrawal. - **Reporting.** Under a proposed amendment to the foreign exchange rules, planned to apply from 3 December 2026, Korean providers report cross-border virtual asset transfers, including transfers to private wallets, to the Bank of Korea. A payment to JapanProxies is a payment to a US company and may be reported. - **Our rule.** Pay from an account in your own name, follow your exchange's checks and keep your records. Never split a payment to stay under a threshold, and never use someone else's account. If your exchange will not send to us, do not look for a way around its rules. ## Paying from Taiwan - **Exchanges.** Crypto exchanges serving Taiwan must register with the Financial Supervisory Commission for anti-money-laundering purposes. - **New law.** A Virtual Asset Service Act passed its third reading on 30 June 2026. It licenses service providers and does not ban buyers; it was not yet in force in October 2026. - **Route.** Buy USDT, USDC or BTC on an exchange you trust, follow its withdrawal checks and send the exact amount shown at checkout. ## Paying from Hong Kong - **Licensed platforms.** Virtual asset trading platforms in Hong Kong must be licensed by the Securities and Futures Commission, which publishes the list of licensed platforms. Licensed platforms may restrict withdrawals to wallets you have registered as your own. Follow your platform's rules: if it does not allow a payment to us, do not look for a way around them. - **Stablecoins.** The Stablecoins Ordinance, in force since 1 August 2025, licenses stablecoin issuers through the HKMA. We found no rule against paying with USDT or USDC; check what your platform allows. - **Mainland China.** The JapanProxies service must not be used from mainland China, and JapanProxies does not accept Alipay or WeChat Pay. ## Which coin and network should I choose? *Send on the exact network shown on the payment page. Funds sent on another network may not be recoverable.* | Coin and network | Confirmations before credit | Good to know | | --- | --- | --- | | USDT on Tron (TRC-20) | 20 | Low network fees; check that your exchange sends on TRC-20 | | USDT or USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | Higher network fees; USDC is accepted on ERC-20 only | | BTC on Bitcoin | 2 | Widely available in Japan and Korea; slower confirmations | | ETH on Ethereum | 12 | Widely available on Japanese and Korean exchanges | | SOL on Solana | 1 | Fast confirmations, low fees | | LTC on Litecoin | 6 | Low fees | ## Payment questions ### Can I pay in yen or won? JapanProxies does not accept yen or won: it accepts crypto only: BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC. Prices are in US dollars. Buy crypto with yen or won on a local exchange, then send it to the address shown at checkout. ### Is USDT available in Japan? We have not confirmed which Japanese exchanges list USDT. USDC, BTC and ETH are available on registered Japanese exchanges, and JapanProxies accepts all three. ### Will my exchange ask questions about the payment? It may. Under travel-rule and reporting rules, exchanges in Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong can ask who receives a transfer and why. Answer truthfully: ProxyGoat LLC, a US company, for a proxy service. ### Do you need my ID to accept the payment? JapanProxies does not need your ID to accept a payment. No KYC — no ID, no selfie, no documents. Your exchange may apply its own identity rules to your account; we do not. ### What if I send the wrong amount or network? Always send the exact amount on the exact network shown, because funds sent on another network may not be recoverable. If something went wrong, write to support@japanproxies.com with the amount, coin, network and time of the transfer, and support will check it. ### Can I get my crypto back? Crypto top-ups are credited to your balance and are not paid back, except where the law requires it. Plans can be credited back to your balance under the [refund policy](https://japanproxies.com/refunds/). ### Is paying with crypto taxable? In some countries, spending crypto counts as a disposal for tax purposes. Rules differ between Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong; ask a tax adviser. We do not give tax advice. ## Sources 1.

Reselling or sharing access with third parties is not allowed · Proxy (data) access only: no SMS, no calls, and no direct access to the SIM card or the device · Dedicated ports are subject to stock per country and carrier; the checkout lists the carriers in stock. If we cannot deliver your port within 24 hours, its full price goes back to your balance · 4G LTE or 5G, depending on carrier coverage where the modem is installed **Before you pay** - Minimum top-up $25.

Price per GB at four volumes, from the public pricing pages of providers cited by AIMultiple, Proxyway or DataImpulse's Japan guide, plus Geonode and Shifter, which publish low per-GB rates. This table shows 7 of the 8 providers in our [full comparison](https://japanproxies.com/compare/japan-residential-proxy-prices/), read on 13 October 2026; other providers sell for less at some volumes, and prices change often. We do not claim to be the cheapest at any volume. | Provider | 1 GB | 10 GB | 100 GB | 1 TB | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | JapanProxies | $2.62/GB | $0.66/GB | $0.50/GB | $0.50/GB | | DataImpulse | — | — | $1.00 | $0.80 | | Geonode (monthly) | — | $0.79 | $0.65 | $0.50 | | Shifter (sale) | — | — | $1.00 | — | | Webshare (sale) | $3.50 | $2.75 | $2.25 | $1.50 | | Decodo | $4.00 | $3.50 | $2.75 | $2.00 | | Oxylabs | — | $5.00 | $4.00 | $2.50 | | IPRoyal | $7.35 | $5.51 | — | — | *Prices checked on October 13, 2026.* Coupon codes are left out; "sale" marks a sale price shown without an end date. A dash means no published plan at that volume: DataImpulse starts with a 5 GB intro pack for new customers, then a $50 minimum (50 GB); Geonode starts at 10 GB; Shifter starts at 50 GB, has no 1 TB plan and lists $0.75/GB on its 200 and 400 GB plans (sale); Oxylabs starts at $30 a month; IPRoyal publishes no tier between 10 GB and 10 TB. Decodo's 1 GB price is pay-as-you-go. Shifter also lists a cheaper country-only pool from $0.48/GB. Traffic does not expire at JapanProxies, DataImpulse, Geonode and IPRoyal; Shifter, Webshare, Decodo and Oxylabs sell monthly plans. ## Pricing questions ### Is Japan more expensive than Korea, Taiwan or Hong Kong? Japan costs the same as South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong: JapanProxies uses one price list for the four countries: 10 GB costs $6.60 whether you use it in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan or Hong Kong, and you can split one plan between them. Some providers price countries by tier, so check their country list before you compare. ### What is the minimum I have to pay? The minimum top-up is $25. From that balance you can buy 1 GB for $2.62 and keep the rest for later. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, but it is not paid back, except where the law requires it. ### Does unused traffic expire? Unused residential traffic never expires at JapanProxies, so a 50 GB plan bought today can serve checks for months. Dedicated 4G/5G ports are different: they run for the days you paid for. ### Which cryptocurrencies can I pay with? BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC. USDT works on TRC-20 or ERC-20 and USDC on ERC-20. Prices are in US dollars; the payment page converts the amount into the coin you choose. See [paying with crypto from Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong](https://japanproxies.com/pay-with-crypto/). ### Do you charge more for city targeting or sticky sessions? City and ASN targeting and sticky sessions (up to 30 minutes) are included in every plan at no extra cost. City availability varies. ### Can I get a refund? Within 72 hours of purchase, a residential plan is credited back to your balance if you used less than 20% of its traffic and no more than 1 GB; a plan that does not work, and that support cannot fix within 24 hours, is credited back in full. Dedicated ports: within 24 hours of delivery (2 hours for a 1-day port), the port is credited back to your balance in full if it does not work and we cannot fix or replace it, or if it has carried less than 500 MB. A port we cannot deliver within 24 hours is credited back in full. If a port stops working later and support cannot fix it within 24 hours, the lost days are credited back. Top-ups are not paid back, except where the law requires it. Details are in the [refund policy](https://japanproxies.com/refunds/). ### How much traffic do I need? It depends on the pages. A search result page with images often weighs one to three megabytes in a browser, and much less when you fetch only the HTML. For occasional manual checks, 5 GB lasts a long time; for daily tracking across several markets, start with 50 GB. ### Is a dedicated 4G/5G port cheaper than residential traffic? Only for heavy, continuous use from a mobile network. A port costs $5.93 per day or $89.25 per 30 days with unlimited data under fair use, while residential traffic costs $0.50/GB from 100 GB. For most search, ad and price checks, residential traffic is the cheaper choice. ### How is residential traffic counted? Usage counts all data sent and received through the proxy (upload and download, headers included). 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes. Connection attempts that fail before reaching the target are not counted. Prepaid residential traffic never expires: unused GB stay on your account until you use them. ### How do I log in to the proxies? Username and password on every plan, or an IP allowlist (up to 10 IPs). Sub-users with their own credentials and traffic cap. API keys you can revoke at any time. Dedicated ports accept a username and password or an IP allowlist. ## Sources for competitor prices 1.

Payments You pay in crypto to addresses we control. Each transaction is checked on the blockchain before your balance is credited; we receive the amount, coin, network and transaction details, not your name, because we do not ask for it. Crypto transactions are recorded on public blockchains, and your exchange applies its own rules to your account. ## 6. Who else handles data - **Hosting and content delivery**, for the website and the client area. - **Crypto payment processing**, for payment requests and confirmations. - **Partner networks**, which carry proxy traffic and may keep their own technical logs under their own policies; see [sourcing](https://japanproxies.com/sourcing/). - **Authorities**, only when a valid legal order binds us; we can disclose only the limited data listed on this page. We do not sell personal data and do not share it with advertisers or data brokers. ## 7. Where data is processed We are a US company, and our providers may process data in the United States and other countries. Where the law requires a transfer mechanism, such as standard contractual clauses for data from the European Economic Area or the UK, we use one. Proxy traffic leaves the network in the country you choose, which is the service you buy. ## 8. How long we keep data | Data | How long | | --- | --- | | Account number, orders, top-ups, traffic totals | While your account is open, then only as long as accounting rules require | | Email address | Until you remove it or close the account | | Connection metadata (time, account, exit IP, target hostname, bytes) | Up to 30 days, then deleted | | Support and abuse emails | As long as needed to handle the request, or as the law requires | ## 9. Your rights Depending on where you live, you can ask us to give you a copy of your data, correct it, delete it, stop or restrict its use, or object to its use, and, under the GDPR, to receive it in a portable format. These rights exist, in different forms, under the EU and UK GDPR, Japan's Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI), South Korea's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), Taiwan's Personal Data Protection Act and Hong Kong's Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance. Write to [support@japanproxies.com](mailto:support@japanproxies.com) from the email address on your account; if it has none, give the date, product and amount of a recent order. Never send your account number or password. We check that the request comes from the account holder without asking for an ID document, and we answer without undue delay and within the time limit set by the law that applies to you (for example 10 days for access requests under Korea's PIPA, 15 days under Taiwan's PDPA, one month under the GDPR), free of charge. You can also complain to your data protection authority, such as Japan's Personal Information Protection Commission, Korea's PIPC or Hong Kong's Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data. ## 10. Security We protect accounts with an account number that works like a password, encrypt connections to the website and client area. We never ask for your account number by email or chat. ## 11. Children The service is not for people under 18, and we do not knowingly hold data about children. ## 12.

Dedicated ports: within 24 hours of delivery (2 hours for a 1-day port), the port is credited back to your balance in full if it does not work and we cannot fix or replace it, or if it has carried less than 500 MB. A port we cannot deliver within 24 hours is credited back in full. If a port stops working later and support cannot fix it within 24 hours, the lost days are credited back. Top-ups are not paid back, except where the law requires it. A refunded plan goes back to your **JapanProxies** balance, where it stays available for any later plan. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, but it is not paid back, except where the law requires it. You ask by email; no KYC is needed. Refunds are issued by ProxyGoat LLC. ## 1. When is a plan refunded? - **Residential plans:** within 72 hours of purchase, if you used less than 20% of the plan's traffic and no more than 1 GB. A plan that does not work, and that support cannot fix within 24 hours, is credited back in full. - **Dedicated 4G/5G ports:** within 24 hours of delivery (2 hours for a 1-day port), if the port does not work and we cannot fix or replace it, or if it has carried less than 500 MB. A port we cannot deliver within 24 hours is credited back in full. If a port stops working later and support cannot fix it within 24 hours, the lost days are credited back. - **Orders not delivered** after the required payment confirmations. In each case the price is credited back to your balance in US dollars. ## 2. How do I ask for a plan to be credited back? 1. **Write to support** — Email support@japanproxies.com with the subject "Refund request". If your account has an email address, write from it. 2. **Name the order** — Give the date, the product (residential plan or dedicated port) and the plan size. 3. **Say what happened** — One or two sentences are enough, for example "bought by mistake, unused" or "port never delivered". ## 3. Where does the refund go? To your JapanProxies balance, once support approves it. We do not send crypto back to a wallet. Support confirms the amount by email. Email replies within 12 hours, 7 days a week. ## 4. What is not refundable? - Top-ups: they are credited to your balance and are not paid back, except where the law requires it. - Plans outside the cases in section 1, including traffic already used. - Port time already used, outside the cases in section 1. - Accounts closed for abuse under the [acceptable use policy](https://japanproxies.com/acceptable-use/), including their balance. - Network fees of your own transfer. - Funds sent on the wrong network or after a payment request expired, when they cannot be recovered. ## 5. Chargebacks Crypto payments are final once confirmed, so there is no chargeback route. This policy is the way to get a plan credited back. ## 6. Changes We may update this policy.

You pick the place with a two-letter code in the username (`jp`, `kr`, `tw`, `hk`), and each new connection usually gets a new IP unless you set a sticky session (up to 30 minutes). Add a city, such as `-city-tokyo`, when you need one; city availability varies. As of October 2026, 1 GB costs $2.62 and traffic from 100 GB costs $0.50/GB.

JAPAN, Rakuten Ichiba, Amazon.co.jp and Kakaku.com.

Home broadband from HKT, HKBN and others. ## Which cities have their own page? Country and city targeting are on every plan; city availability varies, and the checkout shows what is online. These city pages explain the local providers and what a city IP changes: - **[Tokyo](https://japanproxies.com/residential-proxies/japan/tokyo/)** — Local listings, Tokyo-targeted ads and app checks in the capital. - **[Osaka](https://japanproxies.com/residential-proxies/japan/osaka/)** — Kansai campaigns and regional pages, on NTT West and eo Hikari homes. - **[Seoul](https://japanproxies.com/residential-proxies/south-korea/seoul/)** — Naver Place, Kakao Map and Seoul-targeted ads. - **[Busan](https://japanproxies.com/residential-proxies/south-korea/busan/)** — Local results and campaigns outside the Seoul area. - **[Taipei](https://japanproxies.com/residential-proxies/taiwan/taipei/)** — Google Taiwan local results, Taipei-targeted ads and app checks. ## How is a residential proxy different from a datacenter proxy? A residential proxy sends your request out through an IP address that an internet provider assigned to a home connection. A datacenter proxy uses an address from a hosting company. For checks in East Asia the difference is practical. Search engines and shops localise their pages for people at home in the country: language, currency, local listings, delivery messages and ads. A home connection in Japan or Korea is seen as an ordinary local visitor, so you see the page that local visitors get. A residential IP does not give you permission that a site has not given. If a site restricts automated access or chooses not to serve a region, those rules still apply; see our [acceptable use policy](https://japanproxies.com/acceptable-use/). ## How do rotating and sticky sessions work? - **Rotating** (default): `USERNAME-country-jp` gives a Japanese IP for each new connection, usually a different one. To get a new IP on every request, send one request per connection (turn off keep-alive): browsers, `requests.Session` and undici keep connections open, so they keep the same exit until the connection closes. - **Sticky**: `USERNAME-country-jp-session-abc123-ttl-30` keeps the same IP for up to 30 minutes. Use it when a page and its follow-up requests must come from one address, such as a search result page and the pages you click from it. - **Session length**: the time you set (ttl, in minutes), up to 30 minutes; the IP can change earlier, for example if the residential device goes offline. A new session ID usually gives a new IP. A home connection can go offline at any time, so write your code to cope with a sticky session that ends early: retry with a new session ID. ## How much do East Asia residential proxies cost? East Asia residential proxies at JapanProxies cost $2.62 for 1 GB and $0.50/GB from 100 GB (October 2026), with no country surcharge: the same plans cover the four countries. Traffic never expires. All seven sizes, up to 1 TB, are on the [pricing page](https://japanproxies.com/pricing/). | Plan | Quantity | Price | Price per unit | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Test | 1 GB | $2.62 | $2.62/GB | | Light | 5 GB | $4.95 | $0.99/GB | | Standard | 10 GB | $6.60 | $0.66/GB | | Team | 50 GB | $26 | $0.52/GB | | Agency | 100 GB | $50 | $0.50/GB | In every plan: Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong · Rotating and sticky sessions · HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 · Traffic never expires **Before you pay** - Minimum top-up $25. Top up once in crypto, then buy any plan from your balance. - Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, but it is not paid back, except where the law requires it. - Credited once your payment is checked on the blockchain. Typical network confirmation time: BTC ≈ 20 min · USDT TRC-20 ≈ 1 min · USDT ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · USDC ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · ETH ≈ 5 min · SOL ≈ 1 min · LTC ≈ 15 min ## What does JapanProxies not offer? JapanProxies does not offer static or ISP proxies, state or ZIP targeting, access to banking, government or payment portals, or use from mainland China, North Korea and sanctioned countries. In detail: - **No state or ZIP targeting.** Country and city targeting are on every plan, with ASN targeting at no extra cost; city availability varies. - **No static residential or ISP proxies.** A sticky session keeps one IP for up to 30 minutes; it is not an address reserved for you for months. - **No access to banking, government or payment portals**, and no outgoing email: Banking, government and payment-portal sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587. - **No use from mainland China**, North Korea or sanctioned countries. ## Residential proxy questions ### Can one plan be used in several countries? Yes. Traffic is counted per GB, not per country, so one 10 GB plan can serve checks in Japan in the morning and in South Korea in the afternoon. Change the country code in the username: `jp`, `kr`, `tw` or `hk`. ### Which protocols are supported? HTTP, HTTPS (CONNECT) and SOCKS5. Use port 7777 for HTTP and HTTPS, and port 7778 for SOCKS5. With SOCKS5, use `socks5h` or `--socks5-hostname` so the hostname is resolved at the exit. ### How fast are East Asian residential IPs? Speed depends on the home connection behind the IP and on the distance between you, the exit and the target. A home connection is slower and less stable than a server. We do not publish speed or success-rate figures: test your own targets with 1 GB first. ### Do I need to verify my identity? JapanProxies does not verify identities. No KYC — no ID, no selfie, no documents. You get an account number, email is optional, and you pay in crypto. Use is governed by our [acceptable use policy](https://japanproxies.com/acceptable-use/). ### Where do the IPs come from? From established partner networks of residential connections. What we ask of those networks, and what we can and cannot confirm, is on the [sourcing page](https://japanproxies.com/sourcing/). **Start with 1 GB in all four countries** 1 GB for $2.62, paid from a $25 crypto top-up. The rest stays on your balance.

Hong Kong is a small market with its own search habits: people search in Traditional Chinese and in English, and Google Hong Kong returns different pages for each. Local shops price in Hong Kong dollars, and price-comparison sites list local and imported versions of the same product. A Hong Kong residential IP shows those local pages to teams working from elsewhere: marketing agencies tracking a client's rankings, brands checking how resellers price their products, and developers testing that a site serves Hong Kong visitors the right language and currency. ## Which networks do Hong Kong residential IPs belong to? Home broadband in Hong Kong comes from a handful of providers, among them **HKT** (Netvigator), **HKBN**, **China Mobile Hong Kong** and **HGC**, mostly over fibre. An exit IP belongs to the provider of the home behind it, and a WHOIS lookup shows which one. You can prefer one provider by its ASN, such as `-asn-9269` for HKBN, at no extra cost (availability varies); districts cannot be chosen. Hong Kong is a compact place, so a Hong Kong IP is already a local IP for most checks. ## What can I check with a Hong Kong residential IP? - **Search in two languages.** Your Chinese and English pages on [Google Hong Kong](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/google-hong-kong/), and whether Google shows your `zh-HK` version to Hong Kong searchers. - **Public prices.** Your products on [HKTVmall](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/hktvmall/) and the shop prices listed on [Price.com.hk](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/price-com-hk/). - **Ads and landing pages.** Your campaigns in Hong Kong; see [ad verification](https://japanproxies.com/use-cases/ad-verification/). - **Localization.** Prices in Hong Kong dollars, language switching and local legal notices on your own site. ## Hong Kong sites with a dedicated check guide - [Google Hong Kong](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/google-hong-kong/) - [HKTVmall](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/hktvmall/) - [Price.com.hk](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/price-com-hk/) ## How much does a Hong Kong residential proxy cost per GB?

Choose USDT at checkout, pick the network (TRC-20 or ERC-20) and send the exact amount to the address shown. The top-up is credited once the network has confirmed the transfer; USDT on TRC-20 needs 20 confirmations. Every coin and network is listed in the [payment guide](https://japanproxies.com/pay-with-crypto/). In Hong Kong, virtual asset trading platforms must be licensed by the Securities and Futures Commission, which publishes the list of licensed platforms. Licensed platforms may restrict withdrawals to wallet addresses you have registered as your own. Follow your platform's rules: if it does not allow a payment to us, do not look for a way around them. The Stablecoins Ordinance, in force since 1 August 2025, licenses stablecoin issuers through the HKMA; we found no rule against paying with USDT or USDC; check what your platform allows. ## Who can use Hong Kong IPs from JapanProxies? Customers anywhere, except from places our [acceptable use policy](https://japanproxies.com/acceptable-use/) excludes: the service must not be used from **mainland China**, North Korea or countries under comprehensive sanctions. Our Hong Kong pages are in English for that reason. Use is limited to legitimate checks such as SEO, ad verification, public price checks and testing your own services. The service must not be used to reach content or services that the law of the user's location prohibits. ## Is it legal to use a residential proxy in Hong Kong? The law looks at what you do through the proxy. The **Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486)** governs personal data, and section 161 of the **Crimes Ordinance** covers access to a computer with criminal or dishonest intent. Site terms still apply. This is general information, not legal advice; see our [guide to proxy rules in East Asia](https://japanproxies.com/guides/proxy-laws-east-asia/). ## Hong Kong residential proxies: FAQ ### How much does a Hong Kong residential proxy cost per GB?

JapanProxies does not target districts: Hong Kong IPs are chosen for Hong Kong as a whole. Platforms may place the IP in any district. ### Can JapanProxies be used from mainland China? JapanProxies must not be used from mainland China: our acceptable use policy says the service must not be used from mainland China, and forbids using it to reach services that the law of the user's location prohibits. ### Can I pay with USDC instead of USDT? Yes. JapanProxies accepts USDC on ERC-20, USDT on TRC-20 or ERC-20, and BTC, ETH, SOL and LTC. The minimum top-up is $25. ### Do you sell static IPs or dedicated 4G/5G ports in Hong Kong? JapanProxies sells neither static IPs nor dedicated 4G/5G ports in Hong Kong (October 2026): its dedicated ports are in Japan and South Korea only. For Hong Kong, rotating residential IPs with sticky sessions (up to 30 minutes) cover search, price and ad checks. ### Will there be a Chinese version of this page? A Traditional Chinese version may be added for Taiwan first. Hong Kong pages stay in English for now. ## Sources 1. [Pricing](https://geonode.com/pricing) — Geonode (2026-10-13) 2.

The website you open sees an IP address registered to a Japanese internet provider, the kind of address a person browsing from home in Japan has. This matters because Japanese sites build their pages for local visitors. Google Japan and Yahoo! JAPAN rank Japanese pages and show local listings and ads; Rakuten Ichiba and Amazon.co.jp show prices in yen, delivery messages and offers for Japan. From a foreign IP, or from a hosting company's IP, you often see a different page. JapanProxies is a residential proxy provider for Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Japan is our main market, and the code `jp` works on every plan. ## Which internet providers do Japanese residential IPs belong to? Most homes in Japan connect by fibre. A large share of those lines run on NTT East and NTT West's FLET'S Hikari network, resold by many internet providers such as OCN, So-net and BIGLOBE. Other large fibre services include KDDI's au Hikari, SoftBank Hikari and Sony Network Communications' NURO Hikari. An exit IP belongs to whichever provider serves the home behind it, and a WHOIS lookup shows that provider. JapanProxies does not let you choose the provider and does not publish a breakdown of its Japanese IPs by network. If your work needs one specific provider or one fixed address, a static ISP product from another provider fits better. ## What can I check with a Japan residential IP? Typical legitimate jobs, each with its own guide: - **Search results.** Your rankings on [Google Japan](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/google-japan/) and [Yahoo! JAPAN Search](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/yahoo-japan-search/), which uses Google's search technology but sells its own ads. - **Public prices.** Your products and comparable ones on [Rakuten Ichiba](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/rakuten-ichiba/), [Amazon.co.jp](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/amazon-japan/) and [Kakaku.com](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/kakaku-com/). - **Ads.** Whether your campaigns in Japan show the right text and landing page: see [ad verification](https://japanproxies.com/use-cases/ad-verification/). - **Localization.** Whether your Japanese site or app shows yen prices, Japanese text and the right legal notices: see [localization testing](https://japanproxies.com/use-cases/localization-testing/). Check public pages, signed out, at a human pace, and follow each site's terms. ## Japanese sites with a dedicated check guide - [Amazon.co.jp](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/amazon-japan/) - [Google Japan](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/google-japan/) - [Kakaku.com](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/kakaku-com/) - [Rakuten Ichiba](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/rakuten-ichiba/) - [Yahoo! JAPAN Search](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/yahoo-japan-search/) ## How much does a Japan residential proxy cost? As of October 2026, a Japan residential proxy at JapanProxies costs $2.62 for 1 GB, $4.95 for 5 GB ($0.99/GB) and $6.60 for 10 GB. From 100 GB the rate is $0.50/GB. Japan has no surcharge: the same plans work in South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Other providers that 2026 Japan guides cite listed, on 13 October 2026: DataImpulse $1.00/GB (5 GB intro pack, then a $50 minimum), Decodo $4.00 for 1 GB pay-as-you-go, Webshare $3.50 for 1 GB per month (sale price; list $7.00), Oxylabs from $6.00/GB on a $30 monthly plan and IPRoyal $7.35 for 1 GB. Shifter listed a country-only pool from $0.48/GB, and Geonode lower rates above 1 TB. Other providers list lower per-GB rates at several volumes; we do not claim to be the cheapest.

Your credentials appear in the dashboard as soon as the plan is bought. The proxy generator builds a ready-to-copy list with `-country-jp` in each username, in rotating or sticky mode. Real pages, demo data; see [how to check us before you pay](https://japanproxies.com/trust/). - ![Residential proxy generator with Japan selected and sticky sessions, building a host:port:user:pass list with -country-jp in each username (demo data).](https://japanproxies.com/assets/shots/generator.png?v=f04eacddf3) Proxy generator: Japan, sticky sessions, list ready to copy (Demo data) - ![Client area overview: balance, traffic left, active 4G/5G ports, spending this month and a 14-day traffic chart (demo data).](https://japanproxies.com/assets/shots/dashboard.png?v=a9d96d4400) Dashboard: balance, traffic left and usage (Demo data) ## How do I set up a Japan residential proxy? 1. Buy a plan, then copy your username and password from the dashboard. 2. Add `-country-jp` to the username. Add `-session-ID-ttl-30` if one task must keep the same IP for 30 minutes. 3. Point your browser, script or tool at `gw.japanproxies.com` on port 7777 (HTTP/HTTPS) or 7778 (SOCKS5). 4. Open an IP-check page to confirm the country is JP, then load your target. Send `Accept-Language: ja-JP` if you want Japanese pages. The [setup guide](https://japanproxies.com/guides/setup/) has examples for curl, Python, Node.js, Playwright and browsers. *Python (requests): a Japanese sticky session* ```python import requests # Same session ID = same Japanese IP for up to 30 minutes proxy = "http://USERNAME-country-jp-session-jp001-ttl-30:PASSWORD@gw.japanproxies.com:7777" proxies = {"http": proxy, "https": proxy} headers = {"Accept-Language": "ja-JP,ja;q=0.9"} print(requests.get("https://ipinfo.io/json", proxies=proxies, timeout=30).json()["country"]) # JP r = requests.get("https://www.rakuten.co.jp/", proxies=proxies, headers=headers, timeout=30) print(r.status_code, len(r.content)) ``` ## How do I pay for Japan proxies from Japan? JapanProxies accepts BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, from a $25 top-up. Buyers in Japan can pay with BTC or ETH bought on a crypto exchange registered with the Financial Services Agency. USDC has been available in Japan since March 2025, through SBI VC Trade. Since June 2023, Japanese exchanges apply the travel rule: before a withdrawal they may ask who receives it and why. Answer accurately: you are paying ProxyGoat LLC, a US company, for a proxy service. The [crypto payment guide](https://japanproxies.com/pay-with-crypto/) explains networks, fees and confirmation times. ## Is it legal to use a residential proxy in Japan? We found no Japanese law that makes using a proxy an offence in itself; what matters is what you do through it. Three rules come up most often: - The **Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI)** applies when you handle personal information of people in Japan, including from abroad. - The **Unauthorized Computer Access Act** prohibits using someone else's ID and password, or exploiting security flaws, to get into a system. - **Each website's terms** still apply, and a proxy does not change them. This is general information, not legal advice. Our [guide to proxy rules in Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong](https://japanproxies.com/guides/proxy-laws-east-asia/) has the sources. ## Do you sell static proxies or dedicated 4G/5G ports in Japan? We do not sell static residential or ISP proxies in Japan. Sticky sessions (up to 30 minutes) cover tasks that need one IP for a while. We do sell dedicated 4G/5G ports in Japan: one modem with a local carrier SIM, reserved for you, for $5.93 per day or $89.25 per 30 days with unlimited data under fair use. They are listed on the [pricing page](https://japanproxies.com/pricing/). For most search, price and ad checks, residential traffic is enough and costs less. ## Japan residential proxies: FAQ ### What is the best Japan residential proxy for crypto payment? JapanProxies is a Japan residential proxy built for crypto payment without KYC: Japanese home-broadband IPs from $2.62 for 1 GB and $0.50/GB from 100 GB, paid in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC from a $25 top-up. Other providers may suit other needs, such as ZIP-level targeting or very large volumes; our [2026 ranking](https://japanproxies.com/best/japan-residential-proxies-2026/) compares them on the same criteria. ### Can I target Tokyo or Osaka? JapanProxies offers city targeting in Japan on every plan: add `-city-tokyo` or `-city-osaka` after `-country-jp` in the username. You get an IP in that city when the pool has one online there; city availability varies, and Google and other sites may still infer a nearby area. To prefer one home network, add its ASN, such as `-asn-4713` for NTT OCN, at no extra cost. If one city matters, test it with 1 GB first; the [Tokyo](https://japanproxies.com/residential-proxies/japan/tokyo/) and [Osaka](https://japanproxies.com/residential-proxies/japan/osaka/) pages explain local providers and checks. ### Is a Japan residential proxy the same as a Japan proxy shopping service? A Japan residential proxy is a network service, not a shopping service: your own software connects through a home internet connection in Japan. Japan proxy shopping services buy goods from Japanese stores and ship them abroad; JapanProxies does not buy or ship goods. ### Why does my Japanese IP show another city, or another country? IP location databases are built from registration and measurement data, and they can be wrong or out of date. Japanese home IPs are sometimes placed in Tokyo whatever their real region. Check the country with two databases; see [why a proxy shows the wrong location](https://japanproxies.com/guides/check-proxy-location/). ### Do Japanese sites block residential proxies? Sites can block or challenge any traffic they consider automated, whatever the IP type. Slow, human-paced checks of public pages rarely cause problems. If a site refuses access on purpose, a different IP does not make that access allowed; respect its decision. ### Can I pay in yen? JapanProxies does not accept yen: it accepts crypto only: BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC. Prices are in US dollars. ### How much traffic does a Japanese page use? A Rakuten or Amazon.co.jp product page loaded in a browser often uses one to five megabytes with images; the HTML alone is far lighter. Measure a few loads of your own targets with 1 GB before you choose a plan. ### Is there a free trial for Japan? No free trial — test with the 1 GB plan, paid from the minimum top-up; the rest stays on your balance, never expires and is not paid back, except where the law requires it. ## Sources 1.

Japan's two largest metropolitan areas are served by different companies and often by different campaigns: - **Regional campaigns.** Advertisers split budgets between Kanto and Kansai, and Google Ads and Yahoo! JAPAN search ads can target the Osaka prefecture or a city inside it. An ad that runs only in Kansai is invisible from a Tokyo IP. - **Local listings.** Map results and the local pack for searches such as a hotel near Umeda or a shop in Namba come from what the search engine infers about the visitor's area. - **Regional pages.** Chains, real-estate portals and utilities publish Kansai-specific prices, store lists and offers, sometimes on separate regional pages. An Osaka exit shows the Kansai version of these pages. ## Which home internet providers serve Osaka? In Osaka, the fibre network for most homes is built either by **NTT West**, whose FLET'S Hikari lines are resold by providers such as docomo Hikari and SoftBank Hikari, or by **OPTAGE**, a Kansai Electric Power group company that sells eo Hikari only in the Kansai region. **NURO Hikari** and **J:COM** cable also serve parts of the city. The ASN of an exit IP shows its network: OPTAGE (eo Hikari) is AS17511 and OCN, often used on NTT West lines, is AS4713. Add `-asn-17511`, for example, to prefer eo Hikari homes at no extra cost; availability varies by network as well as by city. This regional mix is one reason an Osaka IP can look different from a Tokyo IP in an ASN lookup. ## What can I check from Osaka, and how? 1. **Kansai search visibility.** Open Google Japan or Yahoo! JAPAN by hand in a browser set to the Osaka proxy and compare your local listing with the Tokyo view. Their robots.txt disallows automated access to result pages, so keep it manual; see the [Google Japan guide](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/google-japan/). 2. **Kansai-only ads.** Check that a campaign limited to Osaka shows the right text and landing page there, using the ad platform's preview first. Never click ads. 3. **Regional prices.** Public price pages on [Kakaku.com](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/kakaku-com/) are the same nationwide, but some shops and services show Kansai prices or delivery areas. 4. **App QA.** Confirm that a store locator or a regional promotion switches to Osaka for an Osaka visitor. *curl: confirm a Osaka exit before a manual check* ```bash # Confirm the exit city and network (look at "city", "region" and "org") curl -x http://USERNAME-country-jp-city-osaka-session-os1-ttl-30:PASSWORD@gw.japanproxies.com:7777 https://ipinfo.io/json # Then compare the same page with a Tokyo session (-city-tokyo) by hand. ``` ## What does an Osaka IP not change? - **The exact district.** You choose the city of Osaka, not Kita or Chuo ward, and sites may infer a nearby Kansai city such as Sakai or Higashiosaka. - **Database labels.** A geolocation database may still label a Kansai home IP as Osaka or as Tokyo, depending on the provider's registration. Compare two databases before you conclude anything. - **Delivery dates.** They follow the postal code you enter in the shop, not the IP. ## Plans for Osaka residential proxies The same plans cover every city and all four countries: a Osaka check uses the same traffic as any other. Traffic never expires. | Plan | Quantity | Price | Price per unit | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Test | 1 GB | $2.62 | $2.62/GB | | Light | 5 GB | $4.95 | $0.99/GB | | Standard | 10 GB | $6.60 | $0.66/GB | | Agency | 100 GB | $50 | $0.50/GB | In every plan: Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong · Rotating and sticky sessions · HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 · Traffic never expires **Before you pay** - Minimum top-up $25.

Typical network confirmation time: BTC ≈ 20 min · USDT TRC-20 ≈ 1 min · USDT ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · USDC ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · ETH ≈ 5 min · SOL ≈ 1 min · LTC ≈ 15 min ## Osaka residential proxies: FAQ ### How do I get an Osaka IP? Use `USERNAME-country-jp-city-osaka` as your proxy username, and add `-session-os1-ttl-30` to keep one Osaka IP for up to 30 minutes. City availability varies; the checkout shows what is online. ### Can I target Kyoto or Kobe instead? This page covers Osaka. Other Japanese cities can be requested with `-city-NAME` in the same way, such as `-city-kyoto` or `-city-kobe`; availability varies by city, and the checkout shows what is online. ### Can I prefer eo Hikari homes? Add `-asn-17511` (OPTAGE, which runs eo Hikari) to the username, at no extra cost. Combining a city and an ASN narrows the pool, so availability can be lower than for the city alone. ### Is an Osaka IP useful for national rankings? Not usually: national rankings are mostly the same across Japan, and a Japan-wide IP (`-country-jp`) is enough. Use Osaka when local listings, regional ads or regional pages are what you need to see. ## Sources 1. [FLET'S Hikari (NTT West)](https://flets-w.com/) — NTT West (2026-10-14) 2.

For national rankings, any Japanese home IP is usually enough. Tokyo matters when the page you check depends on where the visitor is: - **Local listings and maps.** Google Maps results and the local pack on Google Japan change between wards: a search for a clinic, a gym or a restaurant shows different places in Shinjuku and in Setagaya. - **Location-targeted ads.** Google Ads and Yahoo! JAPAN search ads let advertisers target the Tokyo prefecture or a city inside it. A campaign aimed at Tokyo only shows to visitors the platform places there. - **City-specific content.** Store locators, delivery-area banners, local promotions and event pages of chains often change for Tokyo visitors. A Tokyo exit lets you see those versions without asking a colleague in Tokyo for screenshots. ## Which home internet providers serve Tokyo? Most Tokyo homes connect through fibre. **NTT East** builds the FLET'S Hikari network, which many providers resell under the "Hikari Collaboration" scheme started in 2015, such as docomo Hikari and SoftBank Hikari. **KDDI** sells au Hikari on its own network, **Sony Network Communications** sells NURO Hikari, and **J:COM** serves part of the city over cable. An exit IP belongs to the provider of the home behind it, and its ASN shows which one: OCN (NTT Docomo Business) is AS4713, KDDI is AS2516 and SoftBank is AS17676. Add `-asn-4713`, for example, to prefer one network at no extra cost; availability varies by network as well as by city. ## What can I check from Tokyo, and how? Typical legitimate checks, done signed out and at a human pace: 1. **Your own local visibility.** Open Google Japan or Yahoo! JAPAN by hand in a browser set to the Tokyo proxy and look at your listing in the local results. Both search engines disallow automated access to their result pages in robots.txt, so keep these checks manual and occasional; see the [Google Japan](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/google-japan/) and [Yahoo! JAPAN](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/yahoo-japan-search/) guides. 2. **Your Tokyo-targeted ads.** Use the ad platform's preview tool first, then a Tokyo IP to see the live page around your ad. Never click ads. 3. **Your app or website.** Check that a store locator, a delivery banner or a Tokyo-only offer appears for a Tokyo visitor and not elsewhere. 4. **Public prices.** Public product pages on [Rakuten Ichiba](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/rakuten-ichiba/) or [Amazon.co.jp](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/amazon-japan/) look the same across Japan; delivery dates depend on the postal code you enter, not on the IP's city. *curl: confirm a Tokyo exit before a manual check* ```bash # Confirm the exit city and network (look at "city", "region" and "org") curl -x http://USERNAME-country-jp-city-tokyo-session-tk1-ttl-30:PASSWORD@gw.japanproxies.com:7777 https://ipinfo.io/json # Then open the page by hand in a browser set to the same proxy and session. ``` ## What does a Tokyo IP not change? - **The exact ward.** You choose the city, not the ward or the street, and the site may still infer another part of the Tokyo area. - **Geolocation databases.** Many databases place Japanese home IPs in Tokyo, where providers are registered, whatever the real region. A database that says "Tokyo" is not proof on its own; compare two of them, as explained in [why a proxy shows the wrong location](https://japanproxies.com/guides/check-proxy-location/). - **Signed-in results.** Personalised results follow your account, not the IP. ## Plans for Tokyo residential proxies The same plans cover every city and all four countries: a Tokyo check uses the same traffic as any other.

Add `-city-tokyo` after `-country-jp` in your proxy username: `USERNAME-country-jp-city-tokyo`. Add `-session-tk1-ttl-30` to keep the same Tokyo IP for up to 30 minutes. City availability varies; the checkout shows what is online. ### Can I choose a ward, such as Shibuya or Shinjuku? JapanProxies targets the city of Tokyo, not a ward. For a check that must come from one ward, use the location setting of the platform's own preview tool, and use the Tokyo IP for the live view. ### Does a Tokyo IP cost more than another Japanese IP? City targeting and ASN targeting are included in every plan at no extra cost: 1 GB costs $2.62 and every plan from 100 GB costs $0.50/GB, the same as any other city or country we sell. ### What if no Tokyo IP is online? City availability varies with the home connections online at that moment, and the checkout shows what is online. If a Tokyo request cannot be served, retry later or use a Japan-wide IP (`-country-jp`) for national checks. ## Sources 1. [FLET'S Hikari (NTT East)](https://flets.com/) — NTT East (2026-10-14) 2.

Any Korean city can be requested with `-city-NAME` after `-country-kr`; city availability varies, and the checkout shows what is online. Two cities have their own page: - **[Seoul](https://japanproxies.com/residential-proxies/south-korea/seoul/)** — KT, SK Broadband and LG U+ homes; Naver Place, Kakao Map and Seoul-targeted ads. - **[Busan](https://japanproxies.com/residential-proxies/south-korea/busan/)** — Local listings and regional campaigns outside the Seoul area, from the same three operators. ## Why do checks in South Korea need a Korean IP? South Korea has its own search and shopping ecosystem. Naver, the country's largest portal, builds its result page from sections such as Naver Blog, Naver Café, news, shopping and web documents, with its own search ads. Daum, run since December 2025 by AXZ, a company spun off from Kakao, does the same with its own sources. Google Korea and Coupang complete the picture. All of them adapt what they show to people in Korea: Korean-language content, prices in won, delivery promises and local ads. A Korean residential IP shows you that local page, so you can check your brand's visibility in Korea from wherever your team works. ## Which networks do Korean residential IPs come from? Home broadband in South Korea is supplied mainly by three operators: **KT**, **SK Broadband** and **LG U+**, with fast fibre connections in most cities. Cable operators serve a smaller share of homes. A Korean exit IP belongs to the operator that serves the home behind it. You can add a city (`-city-seoul`, `-city-busan`) or an operator's ASN, such as `-asn-4766` for KT, at no extra cost; availability varies. JapanProxies does not publish a breakdown of its Korean IPs by network. SK Telecom, KT and LG U+ are also mobile carriers; dedicated 4G/5G ports are a separate product. ## What can I check with a Korean residential IP? - **Naver visibility.** Where your brand, blog posts or products appear in [Naver's sections](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/naver-search/) for Korean keywords. - **Google and Daum rankings.** Your pages on [Google Korea](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/google-korea/) and [Daum](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/daum-search/), which often show different sources from Naver. - **Public prices.** Your products on [Coupang](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/coupang/) and the shop prices on [Danawa](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/danawa/). - **Ads.** Whether your Naver, Kakao or Google campaigns in Korea show the right text and landing page; see [ad verification](https://japanproxies.com/use-cases/ad-verification/). Keep to public pages, signed out, at a human pace. Our [acceptable use policy](https://japanproxies.com/acceptable-use/) applies to every check. ## Korean sites with a dedicated check guide - [Coupang](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/coupang/) - [Danawa](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/danawa/) - [Daum Search](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/daum-search/) - [Google Korea](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/google-korea/) - [Naver Search](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/naver-search/) ## How much does a South Korea residential proxy cost? As of October 2026, a Korean residential proxy at JapanProxies costs $2.62 for 1 GB, $6.60 for 10 GB and $0.50/GB from 100 GB, the same as in Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong. The six providers in AIMultiple's September 2026 Korea comparison table (it benchmarked four of them: Oxylabs, Webshare, NodeMaven and Apify) listed $4.00 to $8.00 per GB. On 13 October 2026 their own pricing pages showed, for example, Decodo at $4.00 for 1 GB pay-as-you-go and Oxylabs from $6.00/GB on a $30 monthly plan. DataImpulse lists $1.00/GB from a $50 minimum. Prices change often: check each provider's page. ## Plans for South Korea residential proxies | Plan | Quantity | Price | Price per unit | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Test | 1 GB | $2.62 | $2.62/GB | | Light | 5 GB | $4.95 | $0.99/GB | | Standard | 10 GB | $6.60 | $0.66/GB | | Team | 50 GB | $26 | $0.52/GB | | Agency | 100 GB | $50 | $0.50/GB | In every plan: Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong · Rotating and sticky sessions · HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 · Traffic never expires **Before you pay** - Minimum top-up $25. Top up once in crypto, then buy any plan from your balance. - Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, but it is not paid back, except where the law requires it. - Credited once your payment is checked on the blockchain. Typical network confirmation time: BTC ≈ 20 min · USDT TRC-20 ≈ 1 min · USDT ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · USDC ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · ETH ≈ 5 min · SOL ≈ 1 min · LTC ≈ 15 min - **Seller: ProxyGoat LLC (USA)** - **Exact amount and address on the payment page** - **Plans credited back within 72 h (under 20% and 1 GB used)** - **How to check us before you pay** ## How do I set up a Korean residential proxy? 1. Copy your username and password from the dashboard after you buy a plan. 2. Add `-country-kr` to the username, and `-session-ID-ttl-30` if one check must keep one IP. 3. Connect to `gw.japanproxies.com` on port 7777 (HTTP/HTTPS) or 7778 (SOCKS5). 4. Send `Accept-Language: ko-KR,ko;q=0.9` to get Korean pages, and confirm the exit country with an IP-check page first. More examples in the [setup guide](https://japanproxies.com/guides/setup/). *curl: confirm a Korean exit IP before a manual Naver check* ```bash # Confirm the exit country (expect "country": "KR") curl -x http://USERNAME-country-kr-session-kr001-ttl-30:PASSWORD@gw.japanproxies.com:7777 https://ipinfo.io/json # Then open Naver by hand in a browser set to the same proxy and session # (Firefox steps in /guides/setup/): search.naver.com disallows all robots. ``` ## How do buyers in Korea pay with crypto? JapanProxies accepts BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, from $25. Korean exchanges work with real-name bank accounts and apply the travel rule to withdrawals. They usually ask you to register and verify the destination address before a withdrawal. Payments abroad are also reported. Under a proposed amendment to the foreign exchange rules, planned to apply from 3 December 2026, Korean providers report cross-border transfers of virtual assets, including transfers to private wallets, to the Bank of Korea. A payment to JapanProxies is a payment to ProxyGoat LLC, a US company. Pay from an account in your own name, follow your exchange's checks and keep your records. Never split a payment to stay under a threshold. Details: [paying with crypto from East Asia](https://japanproxies.com/pay-with-crypto/). ## Is it legal to use a residential proxy in South Korea? We found no Korean law that makes using a proxy an offence in itself; the laws that matter apply to what you do: - The **Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA)** covers the collection and use of personal information of people in Korea. - The **Network Act** (Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection) prohibits entering a network without authority or beyond the access you were given. - **Site terms**, such as Naver's or Coupang's, still apply to your visits. This is general information, not legal advice. Sources are in our [guide to proxy rules in East Asia](https://japanproxies.com/guides/proxy-laws-east-asia/). ## South Korea residential proxies: FAQ ### Can I choose Seoul or Busan? JapanProxies offers city targeting in South Korea on every plan: add `-city-seoul` or `-city-busan` after `-country-kr` in the username. You get an IP in that city when the pool has one online there; city availability varies, and Naver and Google may still infer a nearby area. See the [Seoul](https://japanproxies.com/residential-proxies/south-korea/seoul/) and [Busan](https://japanproxies.com/residential-proxies/south-korea/busan/) pages. ### Is a Korean residential IP enough to see Naver as a local user? A Korean residential IP gives the signed-out, nationwide Naver view; for a clean check, also use a fresh browser profile and Korean as the preferred language. Naver personalises some sections for signed-in users, so a signed-out check shows the general view. ### Can I pay with USDT from a Korean exchange? JapanProxies accepts USDT on TRC-20 or ERC-20. Send from your exchange account in your own name and follow its travel-rule steps; whether it lets you withdraw to us is the exchange's decision. Under a proposed amendment planned to apply from 3 December 2026, transfers abroad, including to private wallets, are reported to the Bank of Korea. ### Do you sell dedicated 4G/5G ports in South Korea? We sell dedicated 4G/5G ports in South Korea for $5.93 per day or $89.25 per 30 days, listed on the [pricing page](https://japanproxies.com/pricing/). For search, price and ad checks, residential traffic is usually enough. ### What are Korean residential IPs not for? Anything our [acceptable use policy](https://japanproxies.com/acceptable-use/) forbids: fraud, spam, attacks, collecting personal information without a legal basis, or entering systems you are not allowed to use. JapanProxies is for checks of public pages and of your own sites and campaigns. ### Why does a Korean IP sometimes appear as Seoul when the home is elsewhere? Some IP location databases place Korean addresses at the operator's registered location, often in Seoul. The country is usually right, the city often is not. See [why a proxy shows the wrong location](https://japanproxies.com/guides/check-proxy-location/). ### Is there a minimum purchase? The minimum top-up is $25; the smallest plan is 1 GB for $2.62. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, but it is not paid back, except where the law requires it. ## Sources 1.

Many brands test Korea from Seoul only and miss what the rest of the country sees. Busan, a large port city on the south-east coast, has its own local market: - **Local place results.** Naver Place and Kakao Map results for searches in Haeundae, Seomyeon or Gwangalli list Busan businesses, not Seoul ones. - **Regional campaigns and events.** Campaigns for local events, such as the Busan International Film Festival each autumn, tourism offers or regional chains are often targeted at Busan and the south-east. - **Regional versions of national services.** Store lists, delivery coverage and local promotions of national retailers and apps can differ from the capital. Comparing a Busan session with a Seoul session shows whether your local presence is national or only visible in the capital. ## Which providers serve Busan homes? Busan homes are served by the three national operators, **KT** (AS4766), **SK Broadband** (AS9318) and **LG U+** (AS3786), mostly over fibre, with cable operators serving a smaller share. Because the operators are national, the network name alone does not tell you the city: a Busan home on KT has the same ASN as a Seoul home on KT. Some geolocation databases also place Busan IPs at the operator's registered location in Seoul. Check the "city" field with two databases, and read the page you are testing for the location it infers. ## What can I check from Busan, and how? 1. **Local listings.** Open Naver and Kakao Map by hand from a browser set to the Busan proxy and check your Busan branches in the place results. Naver's and Daum's search hosts disallow robots, so these checks stay manual; see the [Naver](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/naver-search/) and [Daum](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/daum-search/) guides. 2. **Busan-targeted ads.** Preview the campaign in the ad platform, then check the live page from a Busan IP. Never click ads; see [ad verification](https://japanproxies.com/use-cases/ad-verification/). 3. **Event and tourism pages.** Check that Busan-specific pages, timetables and offers appear in Korean for a local visitor. 4. **App QA.** Confirm that a store finder or a regional banner switches to Busan. *curl: confirm a Busan exit before a manual check* ```bash # Confirm the exit city and network (look at "city", "region" and "org") curl -x http://USERNAME-country-kr-city-busan-session-bs1-ttl-30:PASSWORD@gw.japanproxies.com:7777 https://ipinfo.io/json # Then repeat the same manual check with -city-seoul and compare what changes. ``` ## What does a Busan IP not change? - **The neighbourhood.** You choose Busan, not Haeundae or Seomyeon, and platforms may infer a nearby city such as Gimhae or Yangsan. - **Personalisation.** Signed-in Naver and Kakao accounts change results; stay signed out. - **Addresses.** Delivery promises follow the address you enter, not the IP. ## Plans for Busan residential proxies The same plans cover every city and all four countries: a Busan check uses the same traffic as any other. Traffic never expires. | Plan | Quantity | Price | Price per unit | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Test | 1 GB | $2.62 | $2.62/GB | | Light | 5 GB | $4.95 | $0.99/GB | | Standard | 10 GB | $6.60 | $0.66/GB | | Agency | 100 GB | $50 | $0.50/GB | In every plan: Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong · Rotating and sticky sessions · HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 · Traffic never expires **Before you pay** - Minimum top-up $25.

Typical network confirmation time: BTC ≈ 20 min · USDT TRC-20 ≈ 1 min · USDT ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · USDC ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · ETH ≈ 5 min · SOL ≈ 1 min · LTC ≈ 15 min ## Busan residential proxies: FAQ ### How do I target Busan? Use `USERNAME-country-kr-city-busan` as the proxy username, and add `-session-bs1-ttl-30` to keep one Busan IP for up to 30 minutes. City availability varies; the checkout shows what is online. ### Is a Busan IP more expensive than a Seoul IP? No city costs more: city and ASN targeting are included in every plan. 1 GB costs $2.62 and every plan from 100 GB costs $0.50/GB, and the traffic never expires. ### Can I target Daegu, Incheon or Gwangju too? Other Korean cities can be requested the same way, such as `-city-daegu` or `-city-incheon`; city availability varies, and the checkout shows what is online. ### Why does my Busan IP show Seoul in a lookup? Some geolocation databases place Korean home IPs at the operator's registered location in Seoul. Compare two databases and check the location the page itself infers; see [why a proxy shows the wrong location](https://japanproxies.com/guides/check-proxy-location/). ## Sources 1.

Korean platforms lean heavily on location: - **Naver Place and Naver Map.** Searches for restaurants, clinics, academies or shops return places near the visitor, and the order of the place listings changes between districts such as Gangnam, Mapo or Jongno. - **Kakao Map.** The second map service reads location the same way, and many businesses manage listings on both. - **Regional ads.** Naver search ads and Kakao ads can target regions, so a campaign limited to Seoul only appears to visitors placed there. - **Delivery and local offers.** Coupang and food-delivery services show delivery promises for the address you enter; city-wide banners and promotions can still follow the IP. A Seoul exit shows the capital's version of these pages, which differs from the view in Busan or Daegu. ## Which providers serve Seoul homes? Most Seoul homes are on fibre, served by the same three national operators as the rest of the country: **KT** (AS4766), **SK Broadband** (AS9318) and **LG U+** (AS3786). Cable operators serve a smaller share of homes. The exit IP belongs to the operator of the home behind it. Add `-asn-4766`, for example, to prefer KT homes in Seoul, at no extra cost; availability varies by operator as well as by city. Many geolocation databases place Korean IPs in Seoul, where operators are registered, so a "Seoul" label alone does not prove where a home is: see [why a proxy shows the wrong location](https://japanproxies.com/guides/check-proxy-location/). ## What can I check from Seoul, and how? 1. **Your Naver Place listing.** Open Naver by hand in a browser set to the Seoul proxy, signed out, and look for your business in the place results for your own keywords. search.naver.com disallows all robots in robots.txt, so never script it; see the [Naver guide](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/naver-search/). 2. **Google Korea local results.** Same method on [Google Korea](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/google-korea/): manual and occasional. 3. **Seoul-targeted campaigns.** Use the platform's own preview first, then check the live page around your ad from a Seoul IP. Never click ads. 4. **App and site QA.** Check that a store finder, a Seoul-only event page or a district banner appears for a Seoul visitor, with Korean as the browser language. *curl: confirm a Seoul exit before a manual check* ```bash # Confirm the exit city and network (look at "city", "region" and "org") curl -x http://USERNAME-country-kr-city-seoul-session-se1-ttl-30:PASSWORD@gw.japanproxies.com:7777 https://ipinfo.io/json # Then open Naver by hand in a browser set to the same proxy and session: search.naver.com disallows all robots. ``` ## What does a Seoul IP not change? - **The district.** You choose Seoul, not Gangnam or Mapo, and Naver may infer another part of the capital or of Gyeonggi province around it. - **Signed-in results.** Naver and Google personalise some sections for signed-in users; stay signed out. - **Delivery addresses.** Coupang and delivery apps use the address you enter, not the IP. ## Plans for Seoul residential proxies The same plans cover every city and all four countries: a Seoul check uses the same traffic as any other.

Typical network confirmation time: BTC ≈ 20 min · USDT TRC-20 ≈ 1 min · USDT ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · USDC ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · ETH ≈ 5 min · SOL ≈ 1 min · LTC ≈ 15 min ## Seoul residential proxies: FAQ ### How do I target Seoul with JapanProxies? Put `-city-seoul` after `-country-kr` in your username: `USERNAME-country-kr-city-seoul`. Add `-session-se1-ttl-30` to keep one Seoul IP for up to 30 minutes. City availability varies; the checkout shows what is online. ### Can I pick Gangnam or another district? JapanProxies targets the city of Seoul, not a district. For one district, rely on the location settings of Naver's or Google's own advertiser tools, and use the Seoul IP for the live, signed-out view. ### Can I choose KT, SK Broadband or LG U+ in Seoul? You can, by ASN at no extra cost: `-asn-4766` for KT, `-asn-9318` for SK Broadband, `-asn-3786` for LG U+. Combining a city and an operator narrows the pool, so availability can be lower. ### Can I pay for Seoul proxies from a Korean exchange? Korean exchanges apply the travel rule and, from 3 December 2026, report cross-border transfers to the Bank of Korea. Pay from an account in your own name and follow your exchange's checks; see [paying with crypto from East Asia](https://japanproxies.com/pay-with-crypto/). ## Sources 1.

Pay in crypto. **Quick answer — Which residential proxy has Taiwanese home IPs for ad verification, paid in crypto?** **JapanProxies** sells Taiwan residential proxies for ad verification and Google Taiwan checks: IP addresses of home internet connections in Taiwan, chosen with `-country-tw` in the username, from $2.62 for 1 GB and $0.50/GB from 100 GB (October 2026), paid in crypto with no KYC. Taiwan's largest home broadband provider is Chunghwa Telecom's HiNet; to prefer HiNet IPs, add `-asn-3462` at no extra cost (availability varies). ## Taiwan residential proxies: key facts | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Country code | `tw` — username `USERNAME-country-tw` | | IP type | Residential: addresses of home internet connections in Taiwan | | Targeting | Country (`tw`) and city, such as `-city-taipei` (availability varies); ASN at no extra cost | | ISP selection | By ASN at no extra cost, such as `-asn-3462` for HiNet; availability varies | | Sessions | Rotating or sticky (up to 30 minutes) | | Protocols | HTTP, HTTPS (CONNECT) and SOCKS5 | | Price | $2.62 for 1 GB · $6.60 for 10 GB · $0.50/GB from 100 GB | | Payment | BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, from $25; no KYC | ## Can I target a city in Taiwan? Any Taiwanese city can be requested with `-city-NAME` after `-country-tw`, such as `-city-taipei` or `-city-kaohsiung`; city availability varies, and the checkout shows what is online. The [Taipei page](https://japanproxies.com/residential-proxies/taiwan/taipei/) covers HiNet and cable homes in the capital, the Taipei / New Taipei boundary in geolocation databases, and local search, ad and app checks. ## What does a Taiwan residential proxy show that a foreign IP does not? Taiwanese sites and ad platforms serve people in Taiwan in Traditional Chinese, with prices in New Taiwan dollars and local delivery promises. Google Taiwan favours Taiwanese pages and businesses, and its results differ from Hong Kong's even for a query in the same characters. A Taiwanese residential IP puts your check inside that local view. You see which of your pages rank, which ads appear next to them, and what PChome 24h or momo shows a shopper in Taiwan, without asking a colleague in Taipei to take screenshots. ## Do JapanProxies Taiwan IPs come from HiNet? Taiwanese exit IPs belong to whichever provider serves the home behind them, and **Chunghwa Telecom's HiNet** is Taiwan's largest home broadband provider; others belong to cable broadband operators and to providers such as Taiwan Mobile. A WHOIS lookup on an exit IP shows its provider. JapanProxies does not offer ISP selection: you cannot ask for HiNet only, and we do not publish a breakdown of our Taiwanese IPs by network. For ad verification and search checks that is rarely a problem, since platforms localise by country and region, not by broadband provider. If a test truly needs HiNet addresses only, choose a provider that sells ISP targeting in Taiwan. ## What can I check with a Taiwanese residential IP? - **Ads.** Your Google and social campaigns in Taiwan: text, images, landing pages and language. See [ad verification](https://japanproxies.com/use-cases/ad-verification/). - **Search.** Your Traditional Chinese pages on [Google Taiwan](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/google-taiwan/), and whether Google shows your `zh-TW` version rather than your `zh-HK` one. - **Public prices.** Your products on [PChome 24h](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/pchome-24h/) and [momo](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/momo-shopping/). - **Localization.** Your own site or app for Taiwanese users: currency, text, payment options, legal notices. See [localization testing](https://japanproxies.com/use-cases/localization-testing/). ## Taiwanese sites with a dedicated check guide - [Google Taiwan](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/google-taiwan/) - [momo shopping](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/momo-shopping/) - [PChome 24h Shopping](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/pchome-24h/) ## How much does a Taiwan residential proxy cost? As of October 2026, a Taiwan residential proxy at JapanProxies costs $2.62 for 1 GB, $6.60 for 10 GB and $0.50/GB from 100 GB. Taiwan has no surcharge, and the same plan also works in Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong. Providers often cited for Taiwan, such as DataImpulse, Decodo and Oxylabs, sell one global residential plan; on 13 October 2026 they listed $1.00/GB from a $50 minimum, $4.00 for 1 GB pay-as-you-go, and from $6.00/GB on a $30 monthly plan. See the [price comparison](https://japanproxies.com/compare/japan-residential-proxy-prices/) for every tier. ## Plans for Taiwan residential proxies | Plan | Quantity | Price | Price per unit | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Test | 1 GB | $2.62 | $2.62/GB | | Light | 5 GB | $4.95 | $0.99/GB | | Standard | 10 GB | $6.60 | $0.66/GB | | Team | 50 GB | $26 | $0.52/GB | | Agency | 100 GB | $50 | $0.50/GB | In every plan: Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong · Rotating and sticky sessions · HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 · Traffic never expires **Before you pay** - Minimum top-up $25. Top up once in crypto, then buy any plan from your balance. - Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, but it is not paid back, except where the law requires it. - Credited once your payment is checked on the blockchain. Typical network confirmation time: BTC ≈ 20 min · USDT TRC-20 ≈ 1 min · USDT ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · USDC ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · ETH ≈ 5 min · SOL ≈ 1 min · LTC ≈ 15 min - **Seller: ProxyGoat LLC (USA)** - **Exact amount and address on the payment page** - **Plans credited back within 72 h (under 20% and 1 GB used)** - **How to check us before you pay** ## How do I set up a Taiwan residential proxy? Add `-country-tw` to your username and connect to `gw.japanproxies.com` on port 7777 (HTTP/HTTPS) or 7778 (SOCKS5). Add `-session-ID-ttl-30` to keep one IP for a check, and send `Accept-Language: zh-TW,zh;q=0.9` to receive Traditional Chinese pages. The [setup guide](https://japanproxies.com/guides/setup/) covers browsers, curl, Python, Node.js and Playwright. *Playwright (Python): a Taiwanese browser session for your own site* ```python from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright with sync_playwright() as p: browser = p.chromium.launch(proxy={ "server": "http://gw.japanproxies.com:7777", "username": "USERNAME-country-tw-session-tw001-ttl-30", "password": "PASSWORD", }) context = browser.new_context(locale="zh-TW", timezone_id="Asia/Taipei") page = context.new_page() page.goto("https://ipinfo.io/json") # confirm the exit is in Taiwan page.goto("https://YOUR-SITE.example/") page.screenshot(path="your-site-tw.png", full_page=True) browser.close() ``` ## How do buyers in Taiwan pay with crypto? JapanProxies accepts BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, from $25. In Taiwan, crypto exchanges must register with the Financial Supervisory Commission for anti-money-laundering purposes. A dedicated Virtual Asset Service Act passed its third reading on 30 June 2026; it licenses service providers, does not ban buyers, and was not yet in force in October 2026. Buy USDT, USDC or BTC on an exchange you trust, follow its withdrawal checks, and send the exact amount shown at checkout. See [paying with crypto from East Asia](https://japanproxies.com/pay-with-crypto/). ## Is it legal to use a residential proxy in Taiwan? A proxy is a network tool; Taiwanese law looks at how it is used. The **Personal Data Protection Act** governs the collection and use of personal data, and the **Criminal Code** has a chapter on offences against computer security, such as entering a computer without authority. Site terms still apply. This is general information, not legal advice; sources are in our [guide to proxy rules in East Asia](https://japanproxies.com/guides/proxy-laws-east-asia/). ## Taiwan residential proxies: FAQ ### Can I target Taipei or Kaohsiung? JapanProxies offers city targeting in Taiwan on every plan: add `-city-taipei` or `-city-kaohsiung` after `-country-tw` in the username. You get an IP in that city when the pool has one online there; city availability varies, and platforms may still infer a nearby area. See the [Taipei page](https://japanproxies.com/residential-proxies/taiwan/taipei/). ### Can I choose Chunghwa Telecom HiNet IPs only? No. JapanProxies does not sell ISP targeting. Many Taiwanese home IPs belong to HiNet, the largest provider, but the exit IP is always the provider of the home behind it. ### Are Taiwan and Hong Kong results the same in Chinese? No. Both use Traditional Chinese, but Google, ad platforms and shops serve each market separately. Use `tw` for Taiwan and `hk` for Hong Kong. ### Do you sell dedicated 4G/5G ports in Taiwan? We do not sell dedicated 4G/5G ports in Taiwan (October 2026): they are offered in Japan and South Korea only, on the [pricing page](https://japanproxies.com/pricing/). Residential traffic is cheaper for most checks. ### Will the site be available in Traditional Chinese? A Traditional Chinese version for Taiwan may be added after Japanese and Korean ones. The English pages are the reference. ### Is there a free trial? No free trial — test with the 1 GB plan, paid from the minimum top-up; the rest stays on your balance, never expires and is not paid back, except where the law requires it. ## Sources 1.

Most Taiwanese sites serve the whole island in Traditional Chinese and New Taiwan dollars, so a Taiwan-wide IP covers national checks. Taipei matters for location-based pages: - **Local results and maps.** Google Taiwan's local pack and Google Maps listings for restaurants, clinics or shops in Xinyi, Da'an or Zhongshan depend on the area the search engine infers. - **City-targeted ads.** Google Ads and other platforms can target Taipei City on its own, separately from New Taipei City, which surrounds it. - **Local offers.** Chains, delivery apps and event pages show Taipei store lists, coverage and promotions; LINE official accounts and their landing pages often promote city-specific offers. A Taipei exit shows the capital's version of these pages. ## Which providers serve Taipei homes? The largest home broadband provider in Taipei, as in the rest of Taiwan, is **Chunghwa Telecom's HiNet**, whose fibre service is sold as 光世代. Its network is AS3462. Cable broadband from operators such as **kbro** serves part of the city. Add `-asn-3462` to prefer HiNet homes in Taipei, at no extra cost; availability varies by network as well as by city. Note that Taipei City and New Taipei City are two different cities: a geolocation database can label a home near the city boundary as either one. Compare two databases before you conclude; see [why a proxy shows the wrong location](https://japanproxies.com/guides/check-proxy-location/). ## What can I check from Taipei, and how? 1. **Your local listing on Google Taiwan.** Open it by hand in a browser set to the Taipei proxy, with Traditional Chinese as the browser language. google.com.tw disallows `/search` for robots, so keep it manual; see the [Google Taiwan guide](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/google-taiwan/). 2. **Taipei-targeted ads.** Preview the campaign first, then check the live page from a Taipei IP. Never click ads. 3. **Shopping pages.** Public product pages on [PChome 24h](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/pchome-24h/) and [momo](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/momo-shopping/) are the same across Taiwan; delivery slots depend on the address you enter. 4. **App QA.** Confirm that a store finder, a Taipei-only event page or a LINE campaign landing page shows the Taipei version. *curl: confirm a Taipei exit before a manual check* ```bash # Confirm the exit city and network (look at "city", "region" and "org") curl -x http://USERNAME-country-tw-city-taipei-session-tp1-ttl-30:PASSWORD@gw.japanproxies.com:7777 https://ipinfo.io/json # Then open the page by hand in a browser set to the same proxy, in Traditional Chinese (zh-TW). ``` ## What does a Taipei IP not change? - **The district.** You choose Taipei, not Xinyi or Da'an, and platforms may infer New Taipei City or another nearby area. - **The language.** Taiwanese sites switch language from your browser settings, not from the IP: set `zh-TW` for a local view. - **Signed-in results.** Personalised results follow the account; stay signed out. ## Plans for Taipei residential proxies The same plans cover every city and all four countries: a Taipei check uses the same traffic as any other. Traffic never expires. | Plan | Quantity | Price | Price per unit | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Test | 1 GB | $2.62 | $2.62/GB | | Light | 5 GB | $4.95 | $0.99/GB | | Standard | 10 GB | $6.60 | $0.66/GB | | Agency | 100 GB | $50 | $0.50/GB | In every plan: Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong · Rotating and sticky sessions · HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 · Traffic never expires **Before you pay** - Minimum top-up $25.

Typical network confirmation time: BTC ≈ 20 min · USDT TRC-20 ≈ 1 min · USDT ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · USDC ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · ETH ≈ 5 min · SOL ≈ 1 min · LTC ≈ 15 min ## Taipei residential proxies: FAQ ### How do I target Taipei? Add `-city-taipei` after `-country-tw` in the username: `USERNAME-country-tw-city-taipei`. Add `-session-tp1-ttl-30` to keep one Taipei IP for up to 30 minutes. City availability varies; the checkout shows what is online. ### Can I target New Taipei City or Kaohsiung? Other Taiwanese cities can be requested with `-city-NAME`, such as `-city-kaohsiung` or `-city-taichung`; availability varies by city, and the checkout shows what is online. ### Can I get only HiNet IPs in Taipei? Add `-asn-3462` (Chunghwa Telecom's HiNet) to the username, at no extra cost. A city plus an ASN narrows the pool, so availability can be lower than for the city alone. ### Can I pay from Taiwan? JapanProxies accepts BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, from a $25 top-up. Taiwanese exchanges apply their own withdrawal checks; follow them and pay from an account in your own name.

This page says what we ask of them, what we cannot check ourselves, and how we handle abuse. **Quick answer — Where do JapanProxies' Japanese residential IPs come from?** **JapanProxies**'s residential IPs in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong come from established partner networks whose names we do not publish. We do not run a device network of our own: we resell their bandwidth per GB, from $0.50/GB. Our upstream provider confirms that device owners opt in and can opt out, and that its supply does not come from seized or disrupted networks such as NetNut or IPIDEA. Paid in crypto, no KYC. ## Sourcing at a glance | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Supply | Established partner networks (names not published) | | Residential exits | Home internet connections in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong | | Mobile exits | Dedicated 4G/5G modems with local carrier SIMs | | Own device network | None: no app, SDK or browser extension of ours turns devices into exits | | Blocked targets | Banking, government and payment-portal sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587 | | Abuse reports | abuse@japanproxies.com — Abuse reports are reviewed by a person, and confirmed abuse leads to suspension | ## What does our upstream provider confirm? We resell residential and mobile IPs from established upstream partner networks. Our upstream provider confirms two points, which describe its commitments, not what we have inspected on each device: 1. **Consent:** device owners opt in and can opt out. 2. **No seized or disrupted supply:** its supply does not come from networks that authorities or platforms seized or disrupted, such as NetNut or IPIDEA. We also block sensitive targets for every customer and act on abuse reports, as described below. ## What can we not verify ourselves? No reseller can see inside the devices behind partner IPs. These questions stay open for us, as for others: - whether every device owner understood the terms they accepted; - whether an IP was part of another proxy pool or a botnet before it joined a partner network; - whether a partner buys part of its supply from other networks; - how each geolocation database places a given IP. What we can do is limit harm: block sensitive targets for every customer, act on abuse reports, close abusive accounts, and pass reports about an IP range to the partner concerned. ## What did the 2026 takedowns change for East Asian IPs? - **IPIDEA, January 2026.** Google's Threat Intelligence Group announced action against the IPIDEA residential proxy network on 28 January 2026. It reported that more than 550 threat groups used IPIDEA exit nodes in one seven-day period, and it named the proxy brands linked to the network. - **NetNut, July 2026.** On 2 July 2026 the FBI seized NetNut's domains, according to KrebsOnSecurity, in an action tied to a botnet of compromised devices. Google wrote that many residential proxy brands were built on that network. For buyers of Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese or Hong Kong IPs, the lesson is the same as everywhere: ask each provider how its supply is built, and avoid brands named in these actions. We do not recommend or compare ourselves with those brands. ## Questions to ask any proxy provider | Question | Why it matters | | --- | --- | | Where do your residential IPs come from, in writing? | A provider that cannot answer may not know. | | How do device owners join and leave? | Consent and the ability to stop are the basis of a clean network. | | Are you linked to IPIDEA or NetNut? | Both were disrupted in 2026; their exits can resurface in other pools. | | Which targets do you block? | Blocking banks, government sites and payment portals limits fraud. | | Who handles abuse, and how fast? | A named address and a stated delay show the provider acts on reports. | | Is your price far below the market? | Proxyway's 2026 research describes a grey market where a gigabyte can cost $0.30 or less. | ## Sourcing questions ### Who are your partner networks? We do not publish their names. We publish what we ask them to confirm and the limits of our checks. For a compliance review, write to support@japanproxies.com; we answer sourcing questions by email while keeping partner names private. ### Is JapanProxies connected to NetNut or IPIDEA? Our upstream provider confirms that its supply does not come from seized or disrupted networks such as NetNut or IPIDEA, and that device owners opt in and can opt out. IPs can move between pools after a takedown, so no reseller can rule out that an address once appeared elsewhere. ### Do you know how many Japanese IPs you have? We do not publish a pool size, because we cannot measure it independently and the number changes all the time. Test your own targets with 1 GB first. ### Why are your prices not lower? Our residential prices do not go below $0.50/GB. Proxyway's 2026 market research links very low prices ($0.30/GB or less) with grey-market sellers; a low price alone does not prove it, but we prefer to keep a floor. ## Sources 1.

Live status will be shown in the client area at `/app/`. The incident log starts on the day the service goes live, and no incident has been recorded. If something fails, email support@japanproxies.com with the time, the country code and the error. ## What do we monitor? | System | What it does | | --- | --- | | Proxy gateway | `gw.japanproxies.com`, ports 7777 and 7778: carries your traffic to exit IPs | | Client area | Credentials, usage, plans and top-ups at `/app/` | | Checkout | Payment requests for top-ups | | Payment confirmations | Crediting top-ups after the required confirmations | | Mobile rotation API | New IPs on dedicated 4G/5G ports | ## Incident history No incident has been recorded. The log starts on the day the service goes live; each incident will be listed with its date, the system affected, its duration and a short cause once known. ## Why is there no uptime percentage? Because we have not measured one yet. An honest uptime figure needs months of data, and we will not print a number we have not measured. ## How do I tell an outage from a site that refuses me? Most failures on East Asian sites are not outages. Three quick checks: - **Gateway:** an IP-check service through the proxy answers with an IP in the country you asked for. If it does, the gateway works. - **Exit:** a new session ID gives another exit IP. If the second one works, the first home connection probably went offline. - **Target:** the site answers other visitors but not you. Then the site is limiting automated or foreign traffic, and its decision applies; see the [acceptable use policy](https://japanproxies.com/acceptable-use/). Only the first case is a JapanProxies incident, and it will appear in the history above. ## How do I report a problem? First test the gateway with an IP-check service, as in the [setup guide](https://japanproxies.com/guides/setup/): if that works, the problem is probably the target site. If it fails, email support@japanproxies.com (Email replies within 12 hours, 7 days a week) with the time and time zone, the country code, the tool and the exact error. --- JapanProxies: JapanProxies is a residential proxy provider for Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong: rotating residential IPs billed per GB, with traffic that never expires, paid in crypto with no KYC — no ID, no selfie, no documents. --- # Terms of service > JapanProxies terms of service: residential proxies and mobile ports, account-number accounts, crypto payment, delivery, refunds, acceptable use, governing law. - URL: https://japanproxies.com/terms/ - Last updated: 2026-10-14 - Publisher: JapanProxies (https://japanproxies.com) The agreement between you and ProxyGoat LLC for the JapanProxies service. **Quick answer — What are the main terms of JapanProxies?** **JapanProxies** sells residential proxies in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong, and dedicated 4G/5G ports in Japan and South Korea, to account-number accounts, with no KYC and payment in crypto.

Delivery, traffic and ports Credentials appear in your dashboard as soon as you buy a plan from your confirmed crypto balance. Prepaid residential traffic never expires: unused GB stay on your account until you use them. Unused traffic is lost if you delete your account or if it is closed for a breach of these terms. If we stop selling a product, we give at least 30 days' notice to use the remaining traffic or move its value to another product. Usage counts all data sent and received through the proxy (upload and download, headers included). 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes. Connection attempts that fail before reaching the target are not counted. A dedicated port runs for the period you bought: 1 day, 7 days or 30 days. Unlimited data on your dedicated port, under fair use: the carrier may slow or pause very heavy use. One customer per modem, no resale. We may limit traffic patterns that harm partner networks or other customers, such as floods of failed requests. ## 7. Refunds Within 72 hours of purchase, a residential plan is credited back to your balance if you used less than 20% of its traffic and no more than 1 GB; a plan that does not work, and that support cannot fix within 24 hours, is credited back in full. Dedicated ports: within 24 hours of delivery (2 hours for a 1-day port), the port is credited back to your balance in full if it does not work and we cannot fix or replace it, or if it has carried less than 500 MB. A port we cannot deliver within 24 hours is credited back in full. If a port stops working later and support cannot fix it within 24 hours, the lost days are credited back. Top-ups are not paid back, except where the law requires it. Crypto payments cannot be reversed, so the [refund policy](https://japanproxies.com/refunds/) is the only route for a refund. ## 8. Acceptable use The [acceptable use policy](https://japanproxies.com/acceptable-use/) is part of these terms. These targets are blocked on every product: Banking, government and payment-portal sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587. You must not try to get around them, and you are responsible for the traffic sent with your credentials. ## 9. Suspension and closure We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or the acceptable use policy, or to protect partner networks, customers or third parties. We may refuse or suspend service in case of abuse, fraud or a legal obligation. The service is not available in countries and regions under comprehensive sanctions. Accounts closed for abuse receive no refund. You may stop using the service at any time; balances are not paid back, except as the refund policy or the law requires. ## 10. Availability and changes We work to keep the service available but do not promise uninterrupted operation or a specific uptime. Maintenance, partner network changes and events outside our control can interrupt it; incidents are listed on the [status page](https://japanproxies.com/status/). We may change, add or remove features, countries or plans; plans already bought keep their traffic or port time. ## 11. No warranty The service is provided "as is" and "as available". We do not promise that a site will accept an IP, that a geolocation database will place an IP where you expect, or that a page will look the same on every check. You are responsible for how you use any information you see or collect through the service. ## 12. Liability To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, lost profits or lost data. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for the plan the claim concerns. Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law does not allow us to limit. ## 13. Indemnity You agree to cover our reasonable costs and losses from third-party claims caused by your breach of these terms or of the acceptable use policy, or by unlawful use of the service. ## 14. Governing law, changes and contact These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA. We may update them; the date at the top shows the current version, and changes apply from that date to new purchases and continued use.

A port we cannot deliver within 24 hours is credited back in full. If a port stops working later and support cannot fix it within 24 hours, the lost days are credited back. Top-ups are not paid back, except where the law requires it.

Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, but it is not paid back, except where the law requires it. - **A reference on every payment.** The payment page shows a top-up ID.

Abuse reports are reviewed by a person, and confirmed abuse leads to suspension, which keeps the network usable for legitimate customers. ## What does JapanProxies not do? - **No request for your account number** by email or chat: it is your login, and you type it only on japanproxies.com/app/. - **No support on Telegram, WhatsApp, LINE or KakaoTalk.** JapanProxies support works by email, from support@japanproxies.com. Someone who contacts you there in our name is not us. - **No payment address by email or chat.** Deposit addresses appear only on the payment page of the client area, at japanproxies.com/app/. If anyone sends you an address, do not pay it and write to support@japanproxies.com. - **No ID, selfie or documents** to open an account or buy a plan. No KYC. - **No reviews, ratings or customer counts we cannot verify.** You will not find testimonials, star ratings or invented network sizes on this site. ## How do I spot a fake JapanProxies? Check three things before you pay: 1. **The address bar** says japanproxies.com, and the client area is japanproxies.com/app/. 2. **Support replies** come from support@japanproxies.com. 3. **The payment page** names the seller, ProxyGoat LLC, and shows the amount, the address, a top-up ID and the rate lock on screen. If a site, a message or a social media account claims to be JapanProxies and does not pass these checks, it is not us. Report it to abuse@japanproxies.com. ## How can I test JapanProxies with little risk? Top up the $25 minimum, buy 1 GB for $2.62, and test your own targets in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan or Hong Kong. The rest of the top-up stays on your balance and never expires. Questions before you pay are welcome at support@japanproxies.com: ask anything about targeting, sessions or payment, and you get an answer from a person. ## Trust questions ### Is JapanProxies a scam? JapanProxies is operated by ProxyGoat LLC, a Delaware LLC, whose team has been in the proxy business since 2019. Its prices, rules, refunds and sourcing are public, the seller is named on every order, and you can test with a $25 top-up. Check the address bar and the payment page before you pay. ### Why are there no customer reviews on the site? Because we will not publish reviews, ratings or counts we cannot verify. We would rather show you the real payment page, the rules and the company behind the service, and let you test with a small top-up. ### Can I pay by card for buyer protection? JapanProxies accepts crypto only: BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC. Crypto payments cannot be charged back, so the [refund policy](https://japanproxies.com/refunds/) is the way to get a plan credited back. Start small if you want to limit your risk. ### My payment is not credited. What should I do? Check that you sent the exact amount on the network shown, and that the network has confirmed it. Then write to support@japanproxies.com with the top-up ID from the payment page, the coin, the network and the time you sent it — never your account number. Email replies within 12 hours, 7 days a week. ### Who can I contact before buying? Write to support@japanproxies.com. Pre-sales questions about Japan, South Korea, Taiwan or Hong Kong, targeting, sessions or payment are answered by a person. Email replies within 12 hours, 7 days a week. **Check us with a small first order** Top up $25, buy 1 GB for $2.62, keep the rest on your balance. No KYC. [Get started](https://japanproxies.com/pricing/) · [Contact support](https://japanproxies.com/contact/) --- JapanProxies: JapanProxies is a residential proxy provider for Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong: rotating residential IPs billed per GB, with traffic that never expires, paid in crypto with no KYC — no ID, no selfie, no documents. --- # What people check with East Asian residential IPs > What teams check with East Asian residential IPs: search results, ads, public prices and localization in Japan, Korea, Taiwan and HK. 1 GB $2.62, no KYC. - URL: https://japanproxies.com/use-cases/ - Last updated: 2026-10-13 - Publisher: JapanProxies (https://japanproxies.com) Four legitimate jobs, each with its own guide: local search results, ad verification, public price monitoring and localization testing. **Quick answer — What are Japan and East Asia residential proxies used for?** **JapanProxies** residential IPs in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong let teams see local pages as local people see them: search results on Google, Yahoo! JAPAN and Naver, their own ads and landing pages, public prices on shopping sites, and the localized version of their own site or app. Every use must follow our acceptable use policy. Plans start at $2.62 for 1 GB, paid in crypto, no KYC. ## Choose a use case - **[Local search result checks](https://japanproxies.com/use-cases/local-serp-checks/)** — Rankings, local listings and search features on Google Japan, Yahoo! JAPAN, Naver, Daum, Google Taiwan and Google Hong Kong. - **[Ad verification](https://japanproxies.com/use-cases/ad-verification/)** — Your campaigns in Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong: the right text, images, language and landing page, seen from a local home connection. - **[Public price monitoring](https://japanproxies.com/use-cases/price-monitoring/)** — Public prices and stock on Rakuten Ichiba, Amazon.co.jp, Kakaku.com, Coupang, Danawa, PChome, momo and HKTVmall, within each site's rules. - **[Localization testing](https://japanproxies.com/use-cases/localization-testing/)** — Your own site or app for users in East Asia: language, currency, payment options, redirects and legal notices. - **[Local site checks](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/)** — 16 guides for specific sites: what changes with a local IP, what the site's rules allow, and the settings to use. ## What do these use cases have in common? They all answer one question: what does a person in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan or Hong Kong see on this page? The pages involved are public, the checks are made signed out, and the pace is close to what a person would do. They also share a rule: when a site offers an official route to the data, such as Google Search Console, the Rakuten Ichiba Item Search API or Naver's search APIs, use it first. A residential IP is for the part that official tools do not show: the live page in its local context. ## What are East Asian residential IPs not for? Our [acceptable use policy](https://japanproxies.com/acceptable-use/) forbids, among other things: - fraud, spam, phishing and attacks on any system; - signing in to services on someone else's behalf, or operating many identities on a platform; - collecting personal information without a legal basis under APPI, PIPA, Taiwan's PDPA or Hong Kong's PDPO; - ticket buying bots and automated purchases; - reaching services that the law of your location prohibits, or getting into systems you are not allowed to use. Banking, government and payment-portal sites and SMTP ports are blocked at the gateway. ## Use case questions ### Which use case needs the most traffic? Public price monitoring, because it loads many product pages. Search and ad checks load few pages but often in a full browser, which counts images and scripts. Measure a few loads of your own targets before you pick a plan; 1 GB costs $2.62. ### Do I need a dedicated mobile port for these checks? Rarely. Residential traffic covers search, price and most ad checks. A dedicated 4G/5G port, from $5.93 per day, helps when a test must come from a mobile carrier network, such as an in-app ad shown only on mobile data. ### Can an agency use one account for several clients? Yes. One balance and one plan can serve several clients and countries; keep each client's checks in separate sessions so the results do not mix. ### Is my use case allowed? If it involves public pages, your own services or your own campaigns, and respects each site's terms, it usually is. If you are unsure, write to support@japanproxies.com before you buy. --- JapanProxies: JapanProxies is a residential proxy provider for Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong: rotating residential IPs billed per GB, with traffic that never expires, paid in crypto with no KYC — no ID, no selfie, no documents. --- # Ad verification in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong > Verify your ads and landing pages in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong from local home IPs. 1 GB $2.62, no KYC, pay in crypto. - URL: https://japanproxies.com/use-cases/ad-verification/ - Last updated: 2026-10-14 - Publisher: JapanProxies (https://japanproxies.com) Check that your campaigns in East Asia show the right text, images, language and landing page to the people they target, from a local home connection. **Quick answer — How do I verify my ads in Japan or South Korea from abroad?** Load the page where the ad should appear through a residential IP in the target country, signed out, and record what you see: the ad, its text and images, and the landing page after every redirect. **JapanProxies** sells home-broadband IPs in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong for these checks, from $2.62 for 1 GB, paid in crypto, no KYC. Use the ad platform's own preview tools first. ## What does ad verification check in East Asia? - **Delivery.** Does the ad appear for people in the target country, on the right pages and keywords? - **Creative and language.** Is the Japanese, Korean or Traditional Chinese version shown, with the right images and offer? - **Landing page.** Does the click lead, after every redirect, to the right local page, in the right language and currency? - **Brand safety.** Next to which content does the ad appear on local news and portal sites? - **Misuse of your brand.** Are other advertisers bidding on your brand name or showing copies of your ads in the market? Each market has its own platforms next to Google Ads: Yahoo! JAPAN search ads through LY Corporation in Japan, Naver and Kakao ads in South Korea. A local residential IP lets you see all of them as a local user does. ## Why use a residential IP for ad checks? Ad platforms decide what to show from the viewer's location, and the IP address is one of the main signals. A check from your office abroad shows your own country's ads, or none. A residential IP in the country gives a check close to a local person's view. Under the Media Rating Council's invalid-traffic guidelines, known data-centre traffic is classed as general invalid traffic, so a check made from a server may not show the ad that a person at home would see. ## Which official tools should I use first? - **Google Ads Ad Preview and Diagnosis** shows your Google search ads for a chosen location and language, without counting impressions. - **Naver, Kakao and LY Corporation ad systems** give you delivery reports for your own campaigns in Korea and Japan. - **Your own analytics** shows where clicks come from and which landing pages they reach. Use a residential IP for what these tools do not show: the live page, with the ad in its real context, including redirects and competitor ads. ## How do I run an ad check with JapanProxies? 1. Pick the country code: `jp`, `kr`, `tw` or `hk`. 2. Use a sticky session per check, such as `USERNAME-country-jp-session-ad01-ttl-30`, so the page, the ad and the landing page load from one IP. 3. Open the page in a fresh browser profile, signed out, with the local language set. 4. Save a screenshot and the final URL of the landing page, with the date, time and session ID. 5. Repeat with a new session ID to see whether the result holds on another local IP. For in-app ads shown only on mobile networks, a dedicated 4G/5G port in Japan or South Korea is available from $5.93 per day on the [pricing page](https://japanproxies.com/pricing/). *Playwright (Python): screenshot a page and its landing URL from Japan* ```python from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright PROXY = { "server": "http://gw.japanproxies.com:7777", "username": "USERNAME-country-jp-session-ad01-ttl-30", "password": "PASSWORD", } with sync_playwright() as p: browser = p.chromium.launch(proxy=PROXY) context = browser.new_context(locale="ja-JP", timezone_id="Asia/Tokyo") page = context.new_page() page.goto("https://YOUR-PUBLISHER-PAGE.example/") page.screenshot(path="placement-jp.png", full_page=True) # Open your ad's final URL with your own tracking parameters # (never the ad server's click link: that counts as a click) page.goto("https://YOUR-LANDING-PAGE.example/?utm_source=YOUR_TRACKING") print("landing page:", page.url) page.screenshot(path="landing-jp.png", full_page=True) browser.close() ``` ## What should I avoid in ad checks? - **Do not click ads**, yours or competitors': each click is billed and counts as invalid traffic, and generating clicks is forbidden by our [acceptable use policy](https://japanproxies.com/acceptable-use/). Keep page loads to a few samples per check, since each one can register an impression. To test redirects, use the tracking-template test in the ad platform. - **Do not sign in** to ad platforms or publisher sites through the proxy on behalf of others. - **Keep volumes low.** Ad verification is sampling, not traffic generation. ## What does ad verification cost? A page with ads loaded in a browser often uses two to five megabytes. A weekly sample of a few dozen placements per market fits in 5 GB or 10 GB. One plan covers Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong, and traffic never expires. | Plan | Quantity | Price | Price per unit | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Test | 1 GB | $2.62 | $2.62/GB | | Light | 5 GB | $4.95 | $0.99/GB | | Standard | 10 GB | $6.60 | $0.66/GB | | Team | 50 GB | $26 | $0.52/GB | In every plan: Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong · Rotating and sticky sessions · HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 · Traffic never expires **Before you pay** - Minimum top-up $25. Top up once in crypto, then buy any plan from your balance. - Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, but it is not paid back, except where the law requires it. - Credited once your payment is checked on the blockchain. Typical network confirmation time: BTC ≈ 20 min · USDT TRC-20 ≈ 1 min · USDT ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · USDC ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · ETH ≈ 5 min · SOL ≈ 1 min · LTC ≈ 15 min ## Ad verification questions ### Can I verify Yahoo! JAPAN and Naver ads, not only Google Ads? Yes. Load the search or portal page through a Japanese or Korean residential IP and you see the ads those platforms show to local users. Use each platform's own reports for delivery figures. ### Can I check ads in one city, such as Taipei or Seoul? JapanProxies offers city targeting on every plan: add `-city-taipei` or `-city-seoul` to the username; city availability varies. For an exact location, also use the location setting of the ad platform's preview tool. ### Do I need a mobile proxy for mobile ads? For ads in mobile browsers, a residential IP with mobile emulation is usually enough. For ads shown only to users on mobile data, use a dedicated 4G/5G port in Japan or South Korea, from $5.93 per day. ### Can an agency check ads for several clients? Yes. One balance serves several clients and countries. Keep each client in separate sessions and record the session ID with every screenshot. ### Is ad verification allowed under your policy? Yes, for your own campaigns, your clients' campaigns and brand-protection checks. Generating clicks or impressions is not. --- JapanProxies: JapanProxies is a residential proxy provider for Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong: rotating residential IPs billed per GB, with traffic that never expires, paid in crypto with no KYC — no ID, no selfie, no documents. --- # Check search results in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong > See Google Japan, Yahoo! JAPAN, Naver, Daum and Google Taiwan or Hong Kong results from a local home IP. 1 GB $2.62, no KYC, pay in crypto. - URL: https://japanproxies.com/use-cases/local-serp-checks/ - Last updated: 2026-10-13 - Publisher: JapanProxies (https://japanproxies.com) How to see the result page a searcher in East Asia gets, which search engines matter in each market, and which official tools to use first. **Quick answer — How do I check Google and Naver results as a searcher in Japan or Korea?** Open the search engine through a residential IP in the country, signed out, in a fresh browser profile, with the local language set. With **JapanProxies**, add `-country-jp`, `-country-kr`, `-country-tw` or `-country-hk` to your proxy username and use a sticky session for each check. Start with official tools such as Google Search Console for your own data. 1 GB costs $2.62; no KYC, pay in crypto. ## Which search engines matter in each market? *The language settings are URL parameters and request headers you add yourself; the proxy code goes in the username.* | Market | Search engines to check | Language settings | Proxy code | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Japan | [Google Japan](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/google-japan/), [Yahoo! JAPAN Search](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/yahoo-japan-search/) | `hl=ja&gl=jp`, `Accept-Language: ja-JP` | `jp` | | South Korea | [Naver](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/naver-search/), [Google Korea](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/google-korea/), [Daum](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/daum-search/) | `hl=ko&gl=kr`, `Accept-Language: ko-KR` | `kr` | | Taiwan | [Google Taiwan](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/google-taiwan/) | `hl=zh-TW&gl=tw`, `Accept-Language: zh-TW` | `tw` | | Hong Kong | [Google Hong Kong](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/google-hong-kong/), in Chinese and English | `hl=zh-HK&gl=hk` or `hl=en&gl=hk` | `hk` | ## Why do search results differ in East Asia? Search engines adapt results to the searcher's country, language and location. In East Asia the differences are larger than usual, for three reasons: - **Different engines.** In South Korea, Naver is the largest portal and builds its page from its own sections (blogs, cafés, news, shopping). In Japan, Yahoo! JAPAN uses Google's search technology but adds its own ads and modules. - **Different languages.** Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong each have their own language or script, and Hong Kong searchers use Chinese and English. - **Local results.** Map listings, local businesses and ads depend on where the searcher is. A check from a US or European IP, even with the right language parameter, can miss all three. ## How do I run a clean local check? 1. **Use a sticky session per check**: `USERNAME-country-jp-session-q001-ttl-30`. The result page and the pages you open from it then come from one IP. 2. **Stay signed out** and use a fresh browser profile or a new context in Playwright, so your history does not personalise results. 3. **Set the language** with URL parameters (`hl`, `gl` for Google) and the `Accept-Language` header. 4. **Record the context**: date, time, query, country code and session ID, next to the screenshot or HTML. 5. **Change the session ID** for the next query to get another local IP. The [setup guide](https://japanproxies.com/guides/setup/) has code for browsers, curl, Python and Playwright. ## Which official tools should I use before a proxy? For your own site, official tools give exact data without loading search pages: - **Google Search Console** reports clicks, impressions and average position by country, for Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong. - **Naver Search Advisor** is Naver's tool for site owners: indexing status, sitemaps and search performance on Naver. - **Naver Developers** and **Kakao Developers** offer official search APIs for Naver and Daum sections, with call quotas. Use a residential IP to see what those tools cannot show: the live page around your result, with ads, modules and competitors, as a local searcher sees it. Google's terms do not allow automated access that ignores the instructions in its robots.txt, so keep proxy checks manual and occasional. ## Can I check results for one city? JapanProxies targets countries and cities: add `-city-tokyo` or `-city-seoul` to the username; city availability varies. National rankings are usually the same across a country, but local listings and map results depend on the area the search engine infers from the IP and other signals. For an exact location, also use the location settings of official tools such as the Ad Preview and Diagnosis tool in Google Ads, and treat proxy results as the national view. ## How much traffic do search checks use? A result page loaded in a browser with images often uses one to three megabytes; the HTML alone is much lighter. Weekly checks of a few dozen keywords in one market fit easily in 5 GB; daily checks across four markets fit in 50 GB.

JAPAN the same as Google Japan? Not quite. Yahoo! JAPAN has used Google's search technology since 2010, so organic results are often close, but its ads come from LY Corporation's own platform and the page adds Yahoo! JAPAN modules. Check both; see [Yahoo! JAPAN Search](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/yahoo-japan-search/). ### Should I track Naver or Google in Korea? Both, for most brands. Naver is the largest Korean portal and favours its own sections; Google matters for websites and international pages. The same keyword often returns very different pages on each. ### Can I track thousands of keywords through proxies? Large-scale automated querying of search engines conflicts with their terms. For volume, use your own data in Search Console or Naver Search Advisor, or a licensed rank-tracking service, and keep proxy checks for manual spot checks. ### Why do my results change between two checks? Search results move during the day, and two IPs in the same country can be placed in different regions. Record the time and session of each check, and compare several checks before you draw conclusions. ### Do I need a mobile IP to see mobile results? Usually not. Search engines decide the mobile layout from the device and browser, not from the network. Set a mobile user agent or use a mobile emulation profile with a residential IP. ## Sources 1.

A local residential IP lets your QA team see them before customers do. **Quick answer — How do I test my website's Japanese or Korean version from abroad?** Run your test browser through a residential IP in the target country and set the matching browser language and time zone. Your site then sees a visitor in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan or Hong Kong, so geo-based redirects, currency, payment options and legal notices behave as they will for real users. **JapanProxies** sells those IPs from $2.62 for 1 GB, with no KYC and payment in crypto. ## What breaks in East Asian localization? Common problems to test for: - **Geo redirects.** A visitor in Japan is sent to the English or global site, or loops between two versions. - **Currency and prices.** Prices shown in US dollars, or yen prices with decimals (the yen has no subunit in everyday prices). - **Payment options.** Local methods missing for the country, such as convenience-store payment in Japan or local card brands and wallets in Korea and Taiwan. - **Language negotiation.** The site reads only the IP or only `Accept-Language`, so a Japanese visitor with an English browser gets the wrong page. - **Legal notices.** Japanese online shops must show a notice under the Act on Specified Commercial Transactions; Korean, Taiwanese and Hong Kong pages have their own notice and privacy requirements. - **Fonts and line breaks.** Japanese, Korean and Chinese text overflowing buttons or breaking in the wrong place. ## Why a residential IP and not just a language setting? Many sites and CDNs decide the country from the IP address: they redirect, set the currency or hide products before the browser language is read. A language setting alone does not trigger that logic. A residential IP in the country does, because it is the kind of address your real users have. A datacenter IP can be placed in the right country too, but many fraud and bot-management systems treat hosting ranges differently from home connections. Testing from a home connection shows the path your customers take. ## How do I set up a localization test? 1. Pick the country code: `jp`, `kr`, `tw` or `hk`, with a sticky session for each test run. 2. Set the browser locale and time zone to match: `ja-JP` and `Asia/Tokyo`, `ko-KR` and `Asia/Seoul`, `zh-TW` and `Asia/Taipei`, `zh-HK` and `Asia/Hong_Kong`. 3. Test two cases: a local visitor with a local browser language, and a local visitor with an English browser. 4. Record the IP country your own logs saw, next to each screenshot. For mobile apps: on an iPhone or iPad, use Wi-Fi → Configure Proxy → Manual, with authentication; on the Android emulator, start it with `-http-proxy http://USERNAME-country-jp-session-qa1-ttl-30:PASSWORD@gw.japanproxies.com:7777`. Android's Wi-Fi proxy setting has no password field, and some apps ignore the system proxy. For tests that must come from a mobile carrier network, a dedicated 4G/5G port in Japan or South Korea is available from $5.93 per day. *Playwright (Node.js): one test per market* ```javascript import { chromium } from "playwright"; const markets = [ { cc: "jp", locale: "ja-JP", timezoneId: "Asia/Tokyo" }, { cc: "kr", locale: "ko-KR", timezoneId: "Asia/Seoul" }, { cc: "tw", locale: "zh-TW", timezoneId: "Asia/Taipei" }, { cc: "hk", locale: "zh-HK", timezoneId: "Asia/Hong_Kong" }, ]; for (const m of markets) { const browser = await chromium.launch({ proxy: { server: "http://gw.japanproxies.com:7777", username: `USERNAME-country-${m.cc}-session-qa${m.cc}-ttl-30`, password: "PASSWORD", }, }); const context = await browser.newContext({ locale: m.locale, timezoneId: m.timezoneId }); const page = await context.newPage(); await page.goto("https://YOUR-SITE.example/"); await page.screenshot({ path: `home-${m.cc}.png`, fullPage: true }); console.log(m.cc, "landed on", page.url()); await browser.close(); } ``` ## What does localization testing cost? A full page load in a browser often uses two to five megabytes. A release test of a few dozen pages in four markets fits in 5 GB; continuous tests in a CI pipeline may need 50 GB. One plan covers the four markets and never expires. | Plan | Quantity | Price | Price per unit | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Test | 1 GB | $2.62 | $2.62/GB | | Light | 5 GB | $4.95 | $0.99/GB | | Standard | 10 GB | $6.60 | $0.66/GB | | Team | 50 GB | $26 | $0.52/GB | In every plan: Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong · Rotating and sticky sessions · HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 · Traffic never expires **Before you pay** - Minimum top-up $25.

Yes. Store the proxy username and password as CI secrets and run a browser test per market. Use a new session ID for each run, and keep the run small: a localization test needs a few pages, not a crawl. ### Does the App Store or Google Play region change with the IP? No. App stores decide the storefront from the account's country, not from the IP. A proxy helps test what your app does once installed: its content, prices and API responses for a user in the country. ### Can I test a CDN or geo-routing rule? Yes. Request your own site through each country code and compare the response headers, redirects and content. Check what country your CDN logs record for the request. ### What if my site thinks a Japanese IP is in another country? Your geolocation database may be out of date for that address. Compare two or three databases and update yours; see [why a proxy shows the wrong location](https://japanproxies.com/guides/check-proxy-location/). ### Do I need a separate plan per country? No. One plan covers Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong: change the country code in the username. --- JapanProxies: JapanProxies is a residential proxy provider for Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong: rotating residential IPs billed per GB, with traffic that never expires, paid in crypto with no KYC — no ID, no selfie, no documents. --- # Public price checks in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong > Check public prices on Rakuten Ichiba, Amazon.co.jp, Kakaku.com, Coupang, PChome and HKTVmall from local home IPs. 1 GB $2.62, no KYC, crypto. - URL: https://japanproxies.com/use-cases/price-monitoring/ - Last updated: 2026-10-14 - Publisher: JapanProxies (https://japanproxies.com) Which shopping and price-comparison sites matter in each market, which official data routes exist, and how to check public prices within each site's rules. **Quick answer — How can I check public prices on Rakuten and Amazon Japan from abroad?** Use the official data route first: Rakuten's Ichiba Item Search API returns prices and shop names, and sellers get their own data from Amazon's seller tools. To see the live public page as a shopper in Japan does, load it through a Japanese residential IP, signed out, at a slow pace. **JapanProxies** sells those IPs, plus Korean, Taiwanese and Hong Kong ones, from $2.62 for 1 GB; no KYC, pay in crypto. ## Where are prices checked in each market? *Each site's own terms decide what automated collection, if any, is allowed.* | Market | Sites | Currency | Official data route | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Japan | [Rakuten Ichiba](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/rakuten-ichiba/), [Amazon.co.jp](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/amazon-japan/), [Kakaku.com](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/kakaku-com/) | Yen (JPY) | Rakuten Web Service APIs; Amazon seller tools and APIs for sellers | | South Korea | [Coupang](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/coupang/), [Danawa](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/danawa/) | Won (KRW) | Coupang Open API for sellers | | Taiwan | [PChome 24h](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/pchome-24h/), [momo](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/momo-shopping/) | NT dollar (TWD) | Supplier tools for suppliers | | Hong Kong | [HKTVmall](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/hktvmall/), [Price.com.hk](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/price-com-hk/) | HK dollar (HKD) | Merchant tools for merchants | ## Why do prices look different from abroad? East Asian shops build their pages for local shoppers. From a foreign IP you may see a different language, international shipping messages, missing offers or no delivery promise at all. On marketplaces the price is also more than one number. Rakuten Ichiba shows point offers next to each shop's price. Amazon.co.jp ties delivery dates and some offers to a Japanese postal code. Coupang shows delivery badges such as Rocket Delivery. A check from a local home connection, with a local delivery area set where the site asks for one, shows the page shoppers compare. ## What can I collect, and what should I leave alone? **Fine to check:** public prices, stock status, shipping lines, delivery badges and the position of a product in a site's public search, for your own products and for comparable ones. **Leave alone:** prices or coupons that need a signed-in member, anything behind a login, and personal information such as reviewers' names or sellers' private details. Personal information of people in Japan falls under APPI, in Korea under PIPA, in Taiwan under the PDPA and in Hong Kong under the PDPO. **Respect each site's rules.** Amazon's conditions of use restrict robots and data-extraction tools, and most shops' terms restrict automated collection. Where a site forbids it, use its official route or ask your resellers for their price feeds. ## How do I check prices with JapanProxies? 1. Choose the country code: `jp`, `kr`, `tw` or `hk`. 2. Use a sticky session for each product page and its follow-up requests, such as `USERNAME-country-kr-session-p001-ttl-10`. 3. Send the local language in `Accept-Language`, and set a local postal code or delivery area when the site asks for one. 4. Wait several seconds between pages. Store the price with the date, time and URL. 5. If a page fails, wait and retry once later. If the site keeps refusing, stop and use its official route, such as Rakuten Web Service or the Coupang Open API. Code for curl, Python and Playwright is in the [setup guide](https://japanproxies.com/guides/setup/). *Python: one session per batch of public product pages, with a pause* ```python import time import requests GATEWAY = "gw.japanproxies.com:7777" URLS = ["https://PUBLIC-PRODUCT-PAGE-1", "https://PUBLIC-PRODUCT-PAGE-2"] # One sticky session for the whole batch: one Japanese IP, a steady pace proxy = f"http://USERNAME-country-jp-session-batch1-ttl-30:PASSWORD@{GATEWAY}" for url in URLS: r = requests.get( url, proxies={"http": proxy, "https": proxy}, headers={"Accept-Language": "ja-JP,ja;q=0.9"}, timeout=30, ) print(time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M"), url, r.status_code, len(r.content)) if r.status_code in (403, 429): break # the site is refusing: stop, retry once later or use its official API time.sleep(5) # a slow, steady pace ``` ## How much traffic does price checking use? A product page fetched as HTML often weighs 100 to 500 kilobytes; loaded in a browser with images it can reach several megabytes. A few hundred HTML pages a day fit in 10 GB for a month; daily checks of thousands of pages need 50 GB or more. Traffic never expires. | Plan | Quantity | Price | Price per unit | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Light | 5 GB | $4.95 | $0.99/GB | | Standard | 10 GB | $6.60 | $0.66/GB | | Team | 50 GB | $26 | $0.52/GB | | Agency | 100 GB | $50 | $0.50/GB | In every plan: Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong · Rotating and sticky sessions · HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 · Traffic never expires **Before you pay** - Minimum top-up $25.

Typical network confirmation time: BTC ≈ 20 min · USDT TRC-20 ≈ 1 min · USDT ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · USDC ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · ETH ≈ 5 min · SOL ≈ 1 min · LTC ≈ 15 min ## Price check questions ### Does Rakuten Ichiba have an official API? Yes. Rakuten Web Service offers the Rakuten Ichiba Item Search API and other APIs, free with an application ID and subject to Rakuten's API terms and call limits. It returns item names, prices, shop names and URLs. ### Can I monitor Amazon.co.jp prices with proxies? Amazon's conditions of use restrict robots and data-extraction tools, so read them before you automate anything. Sellers get their own data through Seller Central and Amazon's APIs. Keep proxy checks to a small number of public pages, slowly. ### Can I set a Tokyo or Seoul delivery address? Sites that ask for a delivery area let you type a postal code; that is a site setting, not a proxy feature. City targeting (`-city-tokyo`) changes the IP's city, not the delivery address the shop uses. ### Can I collect reviews? Review text often contains personal information, such as names, which APPI, PIPA, the PDPA and the PDPO protect. Collect only what you have a legal basis for, and follow each site's terms. ### Which plan suits daily price checks? Measure your pages first. For a few hundred HTML pages a day, 10 GB at $6.60 lasts about a month; for thousands of pages a day, start with 50 GB at $26. ## Sources 1.
