What we think after testing Takeproxy
Editorial review by Maya Cortez · last tested Jul 9, 2026
Based on published specifications, Takeproxy positions itself as a low-cost, dedicated-proxy vendor rather than a large-scale residential or mobile network operator, and that distinction matters for anyone comparing it against gateway-pool providers. The public site is primarily in Russian (an English mirror exists at takeproxy.com/en) and centers on four product lines: shared IPv4 (up to three users per proxy), individual/dedicated IPv4, individual IPv6/32, and MTProxy for Telegram. This is a datacenter-style, per-IP rental model, not a per-GB rotating pool, so buyers expecting a countries-wide residential mesh should set expectations accordingly. Some third-party listings mention emerging mobile or rotating-residential options, but these are not clearly presented as core, documented products on the official pages reviewed, so they are treated here as unconfirmed.
On network scale, Takeproxy's own copy references over 700 different networks and subnets and offers manual IP and subnet selection with country targeting. It does not publish a headline IP-pool count or a definitive list of supported countries, and no city- or ASN-level targeting is documented, so location breadth cannot be quantified from the official material. Because this is a dedicated-IP product, the usual residential-pool metrics (pool size in millions, rotation cadence, sticky-session windows) largely do not apply in the same way; instead the relevant levers are rental duration, IP binding (up to three addresses per order) and IP replacement.
On protocols and features, the specifications are straightforward and a genuine strength: proxies are output in HTTP and SOCKS5 simultaneously, traffic is unlimited within a subscription, and there is an auto-renewal function plus a personal account panel and API. Rentals start at five days and can extend to several months, orders range from a single IP up to 2,000 proxies, and the vendor advertises a 48-hour window for money-back and IP replacement after purchase. There is no documented browser extension or dedicated proxy-manager application beyond the account dashboard, and no free trial is mentioned, so those fields remain null.
On pricing, the vendor's entry figure is widely cited around $0.67, but the on-site calculator displays parameter-driven totals (starting from $0 until options are chosen) rather than a fixed public rate card, and the unit is not unambiguously stated per product line. Pricing is duration- and quantity-based, with bulk and long-term discounts and a promotional discount running at the time of review. A recurring criticism across third-party reviews is limited pricing transparency and the absence of per-IP uptime history, which is consistent with what the official pages show. Payment options are a clear plus: cards including Russian-issued cards, and a broad set of cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Tether) plus e-wallets such as WebMoney, YooMoney and FreeKassa.
On reputation, Takeproxy carries a modest number of Trustpilot reviews and is rated as likely legitimate by Scamadviser; third-party review sites report generally positive user sentiment around stability and speed, though these are user impressions rather than independent measurements. The company does not disclose a founding year or headquarters location on the pages reviewed, and the Russian-first presentation and payment mix suggest a CIS-oriented operation. No independent, reproducible benchmarks for success rate, latency or uptime are published, and none were measured here, so all three benchmark fields are intentionally left null.
Takeproxy is best for buyers who specifically want cheap, dedicated datacenter IPv4/IPv6 addresses or Telegram MTProxy on flexible short-to-medium rentals, who value crypto and e-wallet payment options, and who are comfortable with a Russian-first interface. It is a weaker fit for teams that need a large per-GB rotating residential or mobile pool spanning many precisely targeted countries and cities, granular city/ASN targeting, team management, or transparent SLA-backed uptime reporting. Given the absence of a documented country count, no published pool metrics, thin pricing transparency and no independent benchmarks, a cautious editorial rating is warranted until more of these specifics are verifiable.

How to get started with Takeproxy
A 5-minute walkthrough from sign-up to your first successful request. Total setup time: ~10 minutes.
-
1
Sign up + verify your account
Create a Takeproxy account at https://takeproxy.com. Self-serve access is usually available immediately.
-
2
Pick a proxy type and tier
Use the dashboard to choose between Dedicated IPv4 / Shared IPv4 / IPv6. Start with the smallest plan to validate your workload before scaling.
-
3
Generate auth credentials
Set up either an IP-whitelist auth or username:password pair from the dashboard. Save the proxy hostname + port into your scraper or browser config.
-
4
Configure rotation + sticky sessions
Decide between rotating-on-every-request (best for SERP scraping) or sticky sessions (best for account-based workflows).
-
5
Test with a real workload
Run 100-500 test requests against your real target before paying for volume. Compare success rate to Takeproxy's claimed rate before committing to an annual plan.
