- needs card no, phone no, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-11-04T00:30:31.078Z (live) | stale on 2026-12-05
- url https://ipstar.io/
- free tier: No free tier stated on the plan pages. The home page lists residential from $0.33/GB, mobile from $1.61/GB, unlimited residential from $7.91/hour, datacenter from $0.6/IP and static residential from $1/IP, and offers a free web-proxy page. | unit: none | metered on: none | read on: 2026-11-03 | source: [1] | note: A second landing page lists different from-prices (residential $0.35/GB, mobile $3.2/GB, datacenter $1/IP, static $1.9/IP), so the from-prices vary by page.
- per-object cap: not applicable: an address or a traffic quota, not an object | source: [1]
- retention: not applicable: a proxy session or a rented address, not stored bytes | source: [1]
- egress: Residential is per GB ('Never Expires' on the home-page tile); static residential is 'Per-IP pricing, no traffic fees'. | metered: yes | free allowance: none stated | source: [2]
- identity: email | detail: The login page says 'Unverified emails will be auto-registered upon verification', with Google sign-in as an alternative, so an email and its verification code open the account; no phone, card or identity document is asked at that step. Payment methods are shown as icons and were not readable.
- interface: rest
- limits:
  - volume-quota (binding): residential from $0.33/GB (home page), $0.35/GB (second landing page); static residential from $1/IP, no traffic fees [1]
- limits note: The pool figure (90M+ residential IPs, 190+ countries) is a vendor claim. The pool is described as 'sourced from carefully selected partners', so supply comes from third-party partners, not from the vendor's own networks.
- binding note: Residential traffic is metered per GB; the static line is per IP with unlimited traffic.
- interface detail: HTTP(S) and SOCKS5; API and username and password extraction; targeting by country, city, state, zip code, coordinates and ASN on the residential line.
- tooling: Any client that speaks an HTTP(S) or SOCKS5 proxy with a username and password or an allowlisted source address: curl -x, python requests, rclone --socks5, or a host-side hop for a runtime that cannot dial a proxy itself.
- composes with: A host-side hop dials the vendor's HTTP(S) or SOCKS5 endpoint with credentials; the upstream sees an address from the vendor's pool in place of the caller's address.
- reliability: /pricing answers a bot challenge to a page reader and /register returns no content; the static price page is readable through a second reader. unverified: the registration class of the exits (rung 5): no address was looked up.
- notes: Named on a Chinese-language proxy forum as 'IPStar 海外住宅IP代理' with '$0.33/GB' and a referral link.
- evidence note: Prices and the sign-up behaviour are from the vendor's pages; the pool and ISP labels are vendor claims.
- extras:
  - rung: 2
  - rung_note: Rotating residential traffic is rung 2; the static line claims rung 5 and was not looked up.
