ProxyField Help Center
ProxyField residential proxies cost from $1.95/GB and mobile proxies from $2.45/GB, with no subscription and traffic that never expires; start with the Easy Trial: 1 GB for $2.95 (mobile $3.45). Project ended early? There are no refunds, but nothing is lost: bought 100 GB for $249.00 and used 40 GB, the other 60 GB stay on your balance with no end date, and a first purchase of 1 GB caps a wrong guess at $2.95. Sharing one account between clients? Give each client its own account for a hard cap, or give each project its own proxy lines and count its usage (below). Everything else, from payments to targeting, is answered here in a line or two, and our 24/7 live chat answers the rest, including help with setup and integration.

Getting started
- Your first request.
curl -x gate.proxyfield.io:7000 -U "<login>:<password>" https://api.ipify.orgprints the proxy's IP; if it is not yours, the proxy works. More: quick start. - Access after paying. It opens once the payment is confirmed, and the gateway, your credentials or your IP allowlist are in your account from then on. Dedicated ISP and datacenter IPs are ready a few minutes after payment, with an email, as a list in your dashboard.
- Authentication. A username and password, or an IP allowlist, both available in your account. More: proxy authentication.
- Protocols. HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 on residential and mobile proxies, all on
gate.proxyfield.io:7000with the same username and password (with the IP allowlist, the port you set up in the dashboard); UDP over SOCKS5 on residential. - Tools. Any tool that accepts an HTTP, HTTPS or SOCKS5 proxy, including Scrapy, Selenium, Playwright, Puppeteer, Beautiful Soup, Python Requests, Node.js, cURL, Postman and Crawlee. More: the guides for cURL, Python and Playwright.
- Connections. Unlimited concurrent threads.
- Proxy lines for your tools. The configurator in the dashboard generates as many proxy lines as you need, in the form
host:port:username:password.
Prices and the Easy Trial
Easy Trial: 1 GB for $2.95 (mobile $3.45). No minimum purchase, no subscription, and the traffic never expires. You get the same pool and the same quality at 1 GB as at 1 TB: there is no separate trial pool. Need a larger test volume? Message support.
| Volume in one purchase | Residential | Mobile |
|---|---|---|
| 1–9 GB | $2.95 | $3.45 |
| 10–49 GB | $2.79 | $3.29 |
| 50–99 GB | $2.65 | $3.15 |
| 100–249 GB | $2.49 | $2.99 |
| 250–499 GB | $2.29 | $2.79 |
| 500–999 GB | $2.09 | $2.59 |
| 1,000+ GB | $1.95 | $2.45 |
- Volume tiers. The rate for your volume tier applies to the whole purchase. More: pricing.
- Rotating datacenter proxies: $0.29/GB down to $0.22/GB, never expires.
- Dedicated datacenter IPv4: $1.39 per IP for 30 days. Dedicated ISP proxies: from $2.29 per IP for 30 days.
- No subscription. No annual contracts, no monthly minimums, no auto-renewals. Dedicated IPs run for 30-day terms that you renew yourself in the dashboard.
- Every feature on every tier, from your first gigabyte, with no surcharges for countries, requests or threads.
- Large volumes. 1 TB or more in one purchase gets the 1,000+ GB rate. From 1 TB, the price is individual: contact sales, who also help with setup and integration.
- Scraper APIs (in development; Contact sales), billed on successful results only: the Google SERP API is priced at $1.20 down to $0.80 per 1,000 results, and the Google AI Mode, ChatGPT and Perplexity APIs at $1.50 down to $1.00.

Can I get a refund for unused proxy traffic? No, but it never expires
No. All purchases are final, and unused traffic never expires: $249 bought, 40 GB used, the other 60 GB stay on your balance with no end date. What you buy stays on your balance until you use it, for this project or the next one. If a project ends earlier than planned, this is what happens to each thing you bought:
| What you bought | When the project ends early |
|---|---|
| Residential or mobile GB | Stays on your balance with no end date; residential and mobile share one balance |
| Rotating datacenter GB | Stays on your balance; it never expires |
| A dedicated datacenter or ISP IP | Runs to the end of its current 30-day term; you simply do not renew it |
| A subscription | There is none, so no payment runs again unless you buy more |
Worked example. You buy 100 GB of residential traffic at the 100–249 GB rate, $2.49/GB, $249.00 in total. The project stops after 40 GB. The other 60 GB stay on your balance, and next year's project draws on them at no extra cost.
Not sure how much you need? Start with the Easy Trial, 1 GB for $2.95, and measure your job before a larger purchase: as all purchases are final, the most a wrong first guess can cost is $2.95.
What you can do instead of a refund:
- Keep the balance for the next project. It has no end date, and residential and mobile share it.
- Buy in smaller steps when the size is unclear. Any amount from 1 GB; the trade-off is the tier rate, which is set per purchase: ten 10 GB purchases cost $279.00, one 100 GB purchase $249.00.
- Do not renew dedicated IPs you no longer need. Each runs to the end of its 30-day term and stops; nothing renews automatically.
- Move the traffic to another job of yours. Every targeting costs the same per GB, so 60 GB bought for US pages works just as well for a German project.
What to check in any provider's refund terms, with ProxyField's answer:
| Term | What to check | ProxyField |
|---|---|---|
| Time limit to ask | How many days after the purchase a request is accepted | Not applicable: all purchases are final |
| Used traffic | Whether any use, or how much, makes a purchase non-refundable | Does not apply: nothing is refunded, used or unused |
| Cash, credit or expiry | Whether you are paid back in cash or in account credit, and whether unused traffic expires | Nothing is paid back; unused traffic stays on your balance as traffic and never expires |
A payment problem rather than a refund? If a payment did not arrive or the amount looks wrong, message our 24/7 live chat with the transaction hash, the coin and network you used, and your account email.
How do I split one proxy account's traffic between team members or client projects?
Two ways: one ProxyField account per client, which gives each client a hard cap of what its account bought (from 1 GB at $2.95), or one shared account with its own proxy lines per project and a cap you enforce in your own code. A ProxyField account has one balance that all its lines draw on, and one login, with no per-member logins or limits.
| A. One account per client or project | B. One account, lines per project | |
|---|---|---|
| Separation | Own balance, own credentials, own usage stats in its dashboard | Own proxy lines and session IDs; one balance |
| Cap | Hard: the client can use only what its account bought | Soft: your code stops a project at its share |
| Cost | Each purchase at its own tier: 20 GB $55.80, 10 GB $27.90 | One purchase at the tier rate: 30 GB $83.70 |
| Fits | Clients who pay for and hold their own traffic | Your own team and projects you bill yourself |
At these sizes the two ways cost the same, since 10, 20 and 30 GB all fall in the 10–49 GB band ($2.79/GB); below 10 GB per client, separate purchases pay the 1–9 GB rate ($2.95/GB). If you resell the traffic, apply to the reseller program instead (by application; every reseller is verified; deposits from $500).
Way B, step by step. Buy 30 GB at once at $2.79/GB, $83.70, and allot it:
| Project | Cap | Share of $83.70 | Proxy line (username) | Session IDs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Client A | 20 GB | $55.80 | <login>-country-us-city-new_ | -session-clienta01, -session-clienta02 … |
| Client B | 10 GB | $27.90 | <login>-country-de | -session-clientb01, -session-clientb02 … |
- Give each person or project its own proxy lines. Generate them in the dashboard's configurator, with the targeting each one needs, such as
<login>-country-us-city-new_yorkfor client A and<login>-country-defor client B. - Give each one its own session IDs, such as
-session-clienta01and-session-clientb01, so sticky sessions never collide. - Allowlist your servers' IPs if you want, so a server needs no proxy password stored on it; the allowlist controls access, it does not split traffic.
- Count bytes per project and stop at its cap in your own code, as below. It is an estimate: the dashboard's count is the one your balance follows, so calibrate it once (below the script).
- Watch the balance in the dashboard's real-time usage stats, and top up before long jobs; nothing renews on its own.
import requests
from collections import Counter
CAPS = {"client_a": 20 * 1024**3, "client_b": 10 * 1024**3} # 20 GB and 10 GB
LINES = {"client_a": "<login>-country-us-city-new_york-session-clienta01",
"client_b": "<login>-country-de-session-clientb01"}
RATIO = 1.0 # dashboard usage / your count, from one test run (below)
used = Counter()
def fetch(project, url):
if used[project] * RATIO >= CAPS[project]:
raise RuntimeError(f"{project} reached its traffic cap")
proxy = f"http://{LINES[project]}:<password>@gate.proxyfield.io:7000"
r = requests.get(url, proxies={"http": proxy, "https": proxy}, timeout=30)
r.content # read the whole body
body = r.raw.tell() # body bytes as received, before decompression
head = sum(len(k) + len(v) + 4 for k, v in r.headers.items())
used[project] += body + head + len(url)
return rThe script counts the compressed body as it arrived, the response headers and the URL. The traffic your balance follows can differ: TLS handshakes and request bodies are not in the count. Calibrate once:
- Note the usage in the dashboard.
- Run a test job through one line, for example on the Easy Trial's 1 GB ($2.95).
- Read the usage again.
- Set
RATIOto the dashboard's change divided by your count. The caps then stop each project in step with the balance.
What the account gives every project: separate lines from the configurator, an IP allowlist, unlimited concurrent threads, every targeting at the same price per GB, and 24/7 live chat. Tracking usage across projects in more detail: proxy management.
Payments
- Methods. Crypto only: USDT, BTC, ETH and 10 other coins. Prices are in US dollars, and the payment confirmation goes straight to your email. No card, PayPal or bank transfer.
- Coins and networks. BTC, ETH, USDT (TRC-20, ERC-20, BEP-20), USDC (ERC-20), LTC, BCH, BNB, TRX, SOL, DOGE, TON, XRP and POL.
- Confirmation. About 1 minute for USDT on TRC-20, about 4 minutes for USDT on ERC-20, and about 19 minutes for BTC (2 confirmations).
- Checkout. The checkout holds the exchange rate for 35 minutes. The smallest payment is $2.95, the price of the Easy Trial. Email at checkout is optional.
- Fees and amounts. Send the exact amount on the network shown at checkout; blockchain network fees are paid by the sender, on top of the price. If a short or late payment arrives, or the wrong network is used, contact support (our 24/7 live chat) with the transaction ID; a transfer on a network not listed at checkout may be lost.
- Privacy. Ordinary crypto purchases need no ID. As with any blockchain payment, the transaction and wallet addresses are public on the chain, and we never ask for private keys or seed phrases.
More: buy proxies with crypto.
Traffic and usage
- Expiry. Traffic never expires. Bought 100 GB? Spread it over a year if you like; unused traffic doesn't reset at the end of the month.
- One balance. Residential and mobile traffic share one dashboard and one balance.
- Usage. The dashboard shows real-time usage stats and the gigabytes you have left. More: proxy management.
- Higher usage than expected. Pages load images, scripts and fonts, and retries and headless browsers multiply that; block the resources you do not need, and cap retries at 2 or 3.
- Running out in the middle of a job. Nothing renews automatically, so top up before long jobs. When traffic runs out mid-connection, the connection closes, and new HTTP and HTTPS connections get
402 Payment Requireduntil you top up. - Dedicated IPs. When a 30-day term ends you renew it in your dashboard; nothing renews on its own. More: private proxies.
Targeting and sessions
- Locations. Country, region (state) and city targeting in 195+ countries and 21,000+ cities, including all 50 US states, set in the username:
<login>-country-us-city-new_york:<password>. Every targeting costs the same per GB. More: proxy location targeting and proxy locations. - Sessions. A new IP on every request, or a sticky session from 30 seconds to 36 hours (
-session-<id>-ttl-<seconds>, 20 minutes by default), with presets of 1, 5, 10 and 30 minutes and 1, 3 and 6 hours. An IP idle for 120 seconds is replaced. More: rotating proxies. - Carriers. The carrier is not a targeting option. ASN and ZIP code targeting are not offered.
- Speed. Under 1 s typical response for residential and under 1.5 s for mobile, according to our service data.
- Google. The pool is clean for Google, checked and segmented. Google results as JSON: the Google SERP API.
Account, security and policies
- Verification. No identity verification for ordinary purchases, including crypto; we may ask for it if an account shows signs of abuse, and every reseller is verified. More: the Trust Center.
- Allowed use. Public pages only; follow each site's terms. Some site categories are restricted to protect the network, including financial and government services. More: the acceptable use policy.
- IP types. Residential IPs from real home internet providers and mobile IPs on 5G, 4G and LTE carrier networks: 412M+ residential and 10.2M+ mobile IPs in 195+ countries.

ProxyField Help Center FAQ
Where can I get help with ProxyField proxies?
ProxyField support runs 24/7 in live chat and helps with setup and integration as well as billing, from the Easy Trial (1 GB for $2.95) up to 1 TB+ orders. Send the error, the tool you use and the time of the request, and support can trace the problem faster.
Can I get a refund for unused proxy traffic if my project ends earlier than planned?
No. All ProxyField purchases are final, but your traffic never expires: if you bought 100 GB at $2.49/GB ($249.00) and used 40 GB, the other 60 GB stay on your balance with no end date, ready for your next project, and a dedicated IP simply runs to the end of its 30-day term. With any provider, check four terms: the time limit to ask, whether used traffic voids a refund, cash or account credit, and whether unused traffic expires; at ProxyField nothing is paid back and nothing expires. Unsure how much a project needs? Start with the Easy Trial, 1 GB for $2.95.
How do I split one proxy account's traffic between several team members or client projects?
For a hard split, give each client or project its own ProxyField account, from 1 GB at $2.95, so it can use only what its account bought. Inside one account, generate separate proxy lines and session IDs per person or project and cap each one in your own code: for example, buy 30 GB at $2.79/GB ($83.70) and allot 20 GB ($55.80) to client A and 10 GB ($27.90) to client B. All lines of one account draw on its one balance, with unlimited concurrent threads and real-time usage in the dashboard.
Can I set a traffic limit for each team member or project?
ProxyField's account has one balance that every proxy line draws on, and the dashboard shows real-time usage and the gigabytes left. To hold a project to a share, such as 20 GB of a 30 GB purchase, count its bytes in your own code and stop sending when it reaches the cap, as the script in the section on splitting traffic does. Give each project its own lines and session IDs so the counts stay separate.
Can I create sub-users or sub-accounts for my team?
For a separation with its own balance, open a ProxyField account per client or project, each with its own email address and from 1 GB at $2.95; its traffic never expires and its dashboard shows its own usage. Within one account, give each team member their own proxy lines and session IDs from the configurator; all of them draw on the account's one balance. An account has one login, with no per-member logins or limits.
What happens to my dedicated IPs if my project ends mid-term?
A dedicated datacenter or ISP IP runs to the end of its current 30-day term, and then it ends unless you renew it in your dashboard; nothing renews automatically. All purchases are final, so the rest of a running term is not paid back; to keep costs down, renew only the IPs the next project needs.
How does billing work?
You prepay for the gigabytes you want, in USDT, BTC, ETH or 10 other coins, and the traffic goes onto your balance. Each purchase is priced at the tier rate for its volume, which applies to the whole purchase, and the balance goes down as you use traffic. There is no subscription, no monthly minimum and no automatic renewal.
Can I cancel my plan anytime?
There is nothing to cancel: ProxyField has no subscription, so no payment ever runs again unless you buy more. Traffic you have bought stays on your balance and never expires. Dedicated IPs simply end after their 30-day term unless you renew them.
How do I add more traffic to my account?
Buy again in the dashboard, in any amount from 1 GB; the new traffic adds to what is left on your balance. Residential and mobile traffic share the same balance, and nothing you already have expires.
When should I buy a bigger traffic package?
When you know you will use the volume. The tier rate is set per purchase, so 100 GB bought at once is priced at the 100-249 GB rate ($2.49/GB for residential, $249.00 in total), while ten separate 10 GB purchases are each priced at the 10-49 GB rate ($2.79/GB, $279.00 in total). Because the traffic never expires, a larger purchase does not lose value if your project runs slower than planned.

What should I do if my payment fails or I have a billing issue?
Message our 24/7 live chat with the transaction ID or hash, the coin and the network you used, and the email on your account. Check first that you sent the exact amount on the network shown at checkout, because network fees are paid by the sender and the payment confirmation goes to your email.
Is two-factor authentication available?
Ask the 24/7 live chat about two-factor sign-in for your dashboard. In any case, use a unique password for the account, keep your proxy credentials out of shared code, and use an IP allowlist on fixed servers so no proxy password is stored there.
