TL;DROur verdict on Proxy6, in 5 facts
- Budget datacenter proxy seller focused on cheap IPv6 and IPv4, with no residential or mobile options
- Priced per IP on fixed rental periods; IPv6 in bulk is exceptionally cheap while IPv4 and shared IPv4 are also offered
- Static IPs with country-level selection, HTTPS/SOCKS5 support, and an API but no rotation, browser extension, or managed scraping tools
- Refunds are minimal (one day, void after use, none for shared IPv4) and there is no free trial
- No independent benchmarks are available; treat vendor speed claims and third-party country counts as unverified
The verdict
Independent nightly benchmarks since March 2024 — here's where Proxy6 lands.
- Extremely cheap IPv6 proxies, especially in bulk (from about $0.012 per IP per week at 500+ quantity)
- Sells dedicated IPv4, shared IPv4, and dedicated IPv6, plus MTproto proxies for Telegram
- Both HTTPS and SOCKS5 supported simultaneously on the same proxy
- Flexible short rental terms (3-day minimum on IPv6, 1-week on IPv4)
- API available for automated purchase, renewal, and checking of proxies
- Username/password or IP-whitelist authentication supported
- Established seller operating since around 2016 with a free public IPv6 support-check tool
- No residential or mobile proxies; datacenter IPs are easily flagged by anti-bot systems
- Only country-level targeting; no city or ASN targeting in published specs
- Static/sticky IPs only, with no advertised auto-rotating gateway
- Weak refund policy: one-day money-back only, void once proxies are used, and no refund on shared IPv4
- No advertised free trial and 24/7 support not explicitly confirmed
- Mixed reputation, including a notably low Trustpilot rating and support complaints

What we think after testing Proxy6
Editorial review by Maya Cortez · last tested Jul 9, 2026
Proxy6 is one of the older, more established names in the budget datacenter proxy market, with a self-service storefront at proxy6.net (mirrored at px6.me) that, based on its footer, has been operating since 2016. It positions itself squarely as a cheap seller of static IP addresses rather than a modern managed-scraping platform, and the published specifications reflect that focus. The catalog is built around four products: individual (dedicated) IPv4 proxies, shared IPv4 proxies used by up to three customers, dedicated IPv6 proxies, and MTproto proxies aimed at Telegram. Notably absent are residential and mobile proxies, so buyers looking for hard-to-detect IPs will need to look elsewhere.
On the network side, Proxy6 does not publish a total pool size, and it does not clearly state a definitive country count on its main pages. The order interface exposes a country selector, and third-party reviews commonly cite IPv6 availability across roughly ten countries (with mentions of Russia, Ukraine, the US, Germany, France, Netherlands, Japan, Australia and later Canada), while other write-ups quote figures ranging from 20 to 50-plus countries. Because the official site did not confirm a single authoritative number during this research, the country count is left unverified here. Targeting is country-level only; there is no evidence of city-level or ASN-level targeting in the published materials.
Rotation and session behavior are simple and worth understanding before buying. Proxy6 sells static IPs that are handed to one customer at a time, meaning these are effectively sticky/dedicated addresses rather than a rotating gateway pool. There is no auto-rotating endpoint advertised; if you want rotation you manage it yourself by cycling through the list of IPs you purchased. Authentication is available by username/password or IP whitelisting, and both HTTPS and SOCKS5 are supported on the same proxy at the same time, which is convenient for tooling that expects one or the other.
For developers, Proxy6 documents an API (a developers section is linked from the site) that covers purchasing, renewing, and checking proxies via JSON GET requests, which makes it straightforward to automate buying and top-ups. There is no browser extension or dedicated proxy-manager application mentioned in the official materials, and no bundled scraper API, web unblocker, or SERP API - this is a raw IP seller, not a managed data-collection suite. Proxy6 also offers a free public 'IPv6 support check' tool on its site.
Pricing is the main reason people use Proxy6, and it is genuinely aggressive on the official price page. At the cheapest bulk tier IPv6 proxies are listed at about $0.012 per IP for a one-week rental in the 500-and-up quantity band, individual IPv4 proxies bottom out around $0.289 per IP per week at 100-plus quantity, and shared IPv4 proxies around $0.088 per IP per week at scale. Small-quantity, single-IP pricing is higher (third-party sources reference roughly $0.25-$0.45/month for IPv6 and around $1.20-$1.50/month for IPv4), but the headline story is clear: Proxy6 sells IPv6 extremely cheaply in bulk while also offering standard and shared IPv4. Rentals are flexible, with a 3-day minimum on IPv6 and a 1-week minimum on IPv4 and shared IPv4, which is handy for short tests. The important IPv6 caveat is that IPv6 proxies only work on destinations that support IPv6.
On trial and refunds, the published FAQ describes only a one-day money-back window, and it explicitly does not apply if the service detects that you have already used the proxies; refunds are limited to genuine faults such as the service not working or poor performance, replacements are possible on the first day for a valid reason, and there is no refund at all on shared IPv4 proxies. There is no advertised free trial. Support is described as fast via email and chat ([email protected]), but 24/7 coverage is not explicitly stated. Payment methods are not listed on the pages reviewed here; third-party and mirror sources claim a broad set including PayPal, cards, and crypto/WebMoney/QIWI, but that could not be confirmed officially, so crypto acceptance is treated as unverified.
Reputation is mixed and worth weighing. Some proxy-review sites rate it reasonably well for the price (around 4/5), noting clean anonymity checks, while others flag a low Trustpilot score and complaints about support and proxy quality. As with all datacenter IPs, these addresses are easy for sophisticated anti-bot systems to flag. No independent, reproducible benchmarks for success rate, latency, or uptime were available from a trustworthy source during this research, and vendor speed claims (roughly 10 Mbps IPv4, 30 Mbps IPv6) are advertising figures only, so those metrics are left null. Proxy6 is best for buyers who need large quantities of cheap static IPv4 or IPv6 for testing, account work on IPv6-capable sites, or light scraping on a tight budget; it is a poor fit for anyone needing residential/mobile IPs, city or ASN targeting, rotating gateways, or strong bot-evasion.
