TL;DROur verdict on ChangeMyIp, in 5 facts

  • A veteran, low-cost proxy and VPN brand focused heavily on static datacenter proxies
  • Subscription billing per proxy or service, with a $10 minimum order and no contract
  • Wide protocol menu (ShadowSocks, Trojan, WireGuard) is a differentiator versus typical proxy sellers
  • Crypto, PayPal, and card payments are accepted; no free trial is advertised
  • Documentation gaps around pool size, targeting, and API mean less transparency than enterprise rivals

The verdict

Independent nightly benchmarks since March 2024 — here's where ChangeMyIp lands.

What we like
  • Very low published per-proxy pricing, with shared datacenter proxies from about $1/month
  • Unusually broad protocol range including HTTP, SOCKS5, ShadowSocks, Trojan, WireGuard VPN, and DNS
  • Both static (sticky) and rotating product lines across datacenter, residential, and mobile
  • Accepts cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum) alongside credit cards and PayPal
  • Long operating history, stated at more than 12 years selling proxies
  • Documented Romania-based company address and no long-term contract requirement
Watch outs
  • No total proxy pool size published on the official site
  • Country and location coverage not verified from official sources
  • Refund guarantee is narrow and conditional, not applying once the service has been used
  • No free trial advertised on the pages reviewed
  • API, browser extension, and self-serve proxy manager not confirmed on official pages
  • Residential and rotating proxy entry pricing not clearly published

What we think after testing ChangeMyIp

Editorial review by Maya Cortez · last tested Jul 9, 2026

This assessment of ChangeMyIp is based entirely on the specifications and terms published on the provider's official website, not on hands-on testing. On that basis, ChangeMyIp presents itself as a veteran, budget-oriented proxy and VPN brand rather than a modern enterprise data-collection platform. The company states it has been selling HTTP and SOCKS5 proxies for more than 12 years and lists a physical address in Comuna Branesti, Judet Ilfov, Romania, giving it a clearer corporate footprint than many anonymous proxy sellers.

The product range is unusually broad for a provider at this price point. According to the official site, ChangeMyIp offers static datacenter proxies in both dedicated and shared forms, split across HTTP and SOCKS5 variants, alongside datacenter ShadowSocks, Trojan, DNS, and WireGuard VPN products. On the residential side, published listings include residential HTTP and SOCKS5 proxies, residential ShadowSocks, Trojan, and WireGuard VPN, plus rotating residential HTTP and rotating mobile HTTP options. There is also a rotating datacenter HTTP product. This spread means the provider covers both the classic static-IP proxy buyer and users who want rotating pools, all under one account.

Pricing, as published, is the standout feature. Datacenter dedicated HTTP proxies are listed at roughly $1.80 per proxy per month, dedicated SOCKS5 at about $2.20, shared HTTP or SOCKS5 at about $1.00, ShadowSocks at about $2.20, Trojan at about $3.00, DNS proxy at about $2.00, and WireGuard VPN at about $4.00. The site frames billing as subscription-based across monthly, quarterly, biannual, and yearly cycles, states there is no long-term contract, and enforces a $10 minimum per order. For buyers who need a handful of cheap static datacenter IPs, these are among the lower published rates in the market. Residential, rotating datacenter, and rotating mobile products are advertised but their per-GB or per-proxy entry rates are not clearly stated on the pages reviewed, so those costs cannot be verified from published specifications alone.

On capabilities, the official pages confirm both rotating and static (sticky) product lines and a mix of protocols that is wider than most competitors, notably the inclusion of ShadowSocks, Trojan, and WireGuard alongside standard HTTP and SOCKS5. Beyond that, several details commonly used to differentiate providers are not confirmed on the official pages examined. The site does not clearly publish a total proxy pool size, and while third-party reviews cite coverage across roughly 30 countries with strong US state and city selection, that country count is not verified here from an official source and is therefore left unstated. Likewise, the official pages reviewed do not explicitly confirm an API, a browser extension, or a self-serve proxy manager, nor do they quantify city or ASN targeting, so these are treated as unconfirmed rather than assumed.

Refund terms are documented but conditional. The pricing page describes a 30-day money-back guarantee that does not apply if the provider detects that the service has been used, and states refunds cover only cases where the service is not working or performs slowly or badly. A separate refunds-and-restrictions page reframes this around non-delivery and service-not-as-advertised, excludes incompatibility with third-party software, and lists a range of prohibited use cases and applications. Buyers should read those terms closely, because the practical refund window is narrower than a headline 30-day guarantee suggests.

Payment flexibility is a genuine strength on published terms: credit cards, PayPal, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies are accepted, which suits privacy-conscious buyers. No free trial is advertised on the pages reviewed. Support channels are referenced through a ticketing system and testimonials praise response speed, but a 24/7 support commitment is not explicitly stated and is left unconfirmed.

Overall, on published specifications ChangeMyIp reads as a dependable, low-cost source of static datacenter proxies with an unusually diverse protocol and product menu and a long operating history. Its weaknesses, from a documentation standpoint, are transparency gaps: no clearly published pool size, unverified country coverage, no confirmed API or extension, and unstated residential and rotating pricing. Teams needing large, well-documented residential pools with detailed targeting and tooling may find better-specified alternatives, but for affordable static datacenter and mixed-protocol needs, the published offering is credible and competitively priced.
