Proxy-seller

Pool of 20+ million IP addresses

Pay-as-you-go model with no mandatory subscription

After IPRoyal killed a bunch of my Reddit accounts with their mobile proxies, I decided to take a systematic approach to choosing a provider. Proxy-Seller has been around for a while—they’ve been operating since 2014 and claim to have a pool of 20+ million residential IPs. I bought 1 GB of traffic and ran it through every test I could think of. Here’s what I found.

About Proxy-Seller

Proxy-Seller (operates through proxy-seller.com and proxy-seller.io) positions itself as a universal proxy solutions provider. Over 10+ years in the market, they’ve grown from selling server IPs to a full-fledged platform offering residential, mobile, ISP, and datacenter proxies.

Key specs for residential proxies:

ParameterValue
IP Pool20+ million
Coverage220+ countries and regions
ProtocolsHTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5
Billing ModelPay-as-you-go
RotationOn request or static

Residential Proxy Pricing

Residential proxy pricing starts at $3.5 per gigabyte. It’s a pay-as-you-go model with no mandatory monthly subscription, which is great if you have irregular workloads.

Smartproxy$2.20 – $7.00Subscriptionfrom $50/mo
IPRoyal$1.75 – $7.00Pay-as-you-goDepends on volume
Bright Data$5.04+Subscription$500+

Proxy-Seller sits in the mid-range price segment. Not the cheapest option, but nowhere near Bright Data’s premium tier either. The main advantage over SOAX and Smartproxy is no mandatory monthly subscription.

Test Setup

For full reproducibility, here’s the exact configuration I used for testing:

ParameterValue
Antidetect BrowserDolphin{anty}
Browser VersionCurrent as of January 2026
Profile OSWindows 10
WebRTCAltered (spoofed to proxy IP)
CanvasNoise
WebGLNoise
TimezoneAuto (based on proxy IP)
GeolocationAuto (based on proxy IP)
Languageses-CO, es, en

Heads up: Pixelscan showed “Masking detected” in my tests—that’s the antidetect browser Dolphin being flagged, not the proxy itself. If you use a different antidetect browser or a regular browser with a proxy extension, your fingerprint test results will differ.

Dashboard and Proxy Setup

Right after payment, you get a dashboard in the orders section with a nice visual traffic usage bar.

Dashboard in account panel with order information

Quick tip: there’s an Auto-renewal checkbox enabled by default on the right side. Turn it off right away, or you might blow through your limits and get charged automatically.

The interface lets you choose your proxy type:

GeneralStandard rotationParsing, scraping

RotatingIP changes with every requestMass data collection

Generating a Proxy List

For my test, I set up the following parameters: static (Sticky), login/password authentication, file format, South America region.

Proxy export form with filter settings

And here’s the first major downside: for popular regions (North America, Europe, South America), you can’t select a specific country and city from the dropdown menu. The Region, City, and ISP fields stay grayed out. This level of targeting is only available for less popular locations.

This is a dealbreaker for me: farming Reddit accounts requires proxies specifically from New York, not just “somewhere in North America.” Make sure to test this before buying in bulk.

Proxy Testing

First, I checked the proxy in Dolphin{anty}. The browser showed ACTIVE status, SOCKS5 protocol, geolocation Colombia/Bogota, IP 190.90.154.72. Not found in any spam lists (score of 0).

IP Details

Detailed info on the IP I got:

ParameterValue
IP Address190.90.154.68
CountryColombia (CO)
State/RegionNariño
CityPuerres
ISPInternexa S.a. E.S.P
OrganizationInternexa S.a. E.S.P
Network (ASN)AS18678 INTERNEXA S.A. E.S.P (EYEBALL)
Usage TypeCorporate / Business
TimezoneAmerica/Bogota (COT)

What “Corporate / Business” Usage Type Actually Means

Pay attention to the Usage Type line. Instead of the expected “Residential” or “ISP,” we’re seeing “Corporate / Business.” Let me explain why this matters if you’re new to this.

Anti-fraud systems use databases (MaxMind, IP2Location, etc.) that classify every IP by usage type. When a system sees “Corporate,” it knows you’re connecting from a company office or business network, not from someone’s home.

For Facebook, Google, or YouTube, this isn’t a big deal—plenty of people browse from work. But picky sites with strict anti-fraud measures react differently. Ticketmaster, Nike SNKRS, Reddit during account registration—they might instantly ban you or demand extra verification. The logic is simple: regular users don’t register accounts from corporate networks.

If you specifically need “Residential” type for your use case, this is a serious drawback. Always check a test IP at browserleaks.com or iplocation.net before buying in bulk.

Whoer.net test:

Excellent results here. IP 190.90.154.77, location Pasto, Colombia. ISP identified as Internexa S.A. E.s.p. Most importantly: “Su disfraz: 100%” (your disguise: 100%). Proxy not detected, anonymizer not detected, not in any blacklists.

Whoer.net results showing 100% masking score

Connection Type Check

APIVoid IP Reputation Check:

APIVoid showing Residential Proxy: True

Interesting thing here: APIVoid identifies the connection as Residential Proxy, while BrowserLeaks shows Corporate. Different databases give different results. In reality, anti-fraud systems typically use multiple sources at once, and if even one flags a suspicious type, it can affect your trust score.

DNS Leak Test

Now here’s where things get ugly—this is the biggest issue I found with Proxy-Seller. I tested with three services and compiled the results:

Testing ServiceDNS Servers FoundServer LocationsLeak?
BrowserLeaks24 (from 4 providers)USA (Google LLC, Charleston) + Colombia (Cloudflare, Edgeuno)Yes
IPLeak.net7-83 (extended test)USA (Google LLC, South Carolina) + Colombia (Cloudflare, Bogota)Yes
PixelscanMultipleColombia (Edgeuno) + 1× N/A (eu-west-1.compute.internal)Partial
IPLeak.net showing DNS servers in two countries
IPLeak.net: main traffic goes through Cloudflare Bogota (161 hits), but Google LLC in USA is present
Pixelscan DNS check
Pixelscan: cleaner picture, but there’s a suspicious eu-west-1.compute.internal server

Why DNS Leaks Are a Big Deal

Picture this: you visit a website through a Colombian IP, the site sees you’re from Bogota. But when your browser makes a DNS request (converts a domain name to an IP address), that request goes to Google servers in the US. The anti-fraud system sees a mismatch: “User appears to be in Colombia, but their DNS queries are going through America. Suspicious.”

Advanced protection systems (Cloudflare, PerimeterX, Akamai) can detect this. Result: captcha, block, or flagged account. Two out of three services showed a leak—that’s a red flag.

Can You Fix DNS Leaks Yourself?

There are a few options:

  • Option one: manually set DNS in your antidetect browser settings. Dolphin{anty} and other antidetects (GoLogin, Multilogin) let you specify a custom DNS server. You can use a DNS from the same country as your proxy. For Colombia, that could be a local provider or regional Cloudflare.
  • Option two: configure DNS at the system or router level. But this affects all traffic, not just specific browser profiles.
  • Option three: use DoH (DNS over HTTPS) tied to the target region.

Here’s the bad news though: if the leak happens on the provider’s proxy gateway side, you’re out of luck. The proxy server resolves DNS through its own servers, and users can’t control that. Based on the test results (DNS queries going through Google US even with a Colombian IP), this problem is on Proxy-Seller’s end.

WebRTC Leak Test

BrowserLeaks WebRTC:

ParameterValue
Remote IPv4190.90.154.68
Remote IPv6
WebRTC Leak TestNo Local IP Leak
Local IP Address
Public IP Address190.90.154.72

WebRTC Leak Test with no local IP leak

One small catch: the test shows “WebRTC IP doesn’t match your Remote IP.” Remote IP is 190.90.154.68, while Public IP via WebRTC is 190.90.154.72. These are different addresses in the same subnet, which could be due to rotation or how the residential pool works. Not critical for most tasks, but worth keeping in mind.

Scam and Spam Database Checks

Scamalytics:

Excellent results. Fraud Score: 0 out of 100. Low Risk. IP belongs to Internexa S.a. E.S.P, web traffic from this address is considered low risk.

MXToolbox (email spam database check):

IP 190.90.154.76 checked against 61 known blacklists. Result: Listed 3 times with 0 timeouts.

MXToolbox showing 3 blacklists

Another IP from the pool (190.90.154.68) is also on 3 blacklists: DRONE BL, RATS NoPtr, Spamhaus ZEN.

MXToolbox for second IP

Not a big deal for social media work and scraping, but if you’re planning to use these proxies for email marketing, these IPs won’t cut it.

Pixelscan IP Blacklist Checker:

A more detailed check showed presence on 5 spam lists:

Bot Detection Test

Pixelscan Bot Detection:

Result: “Your results: Human Detected.” The system identified behavior as human.

Bot Detection Test with Human Detected result

All four detection signals passed successfully. The proxy isn’t flagged as a bot or automated system.

Browser Fingerprint

Pixelscan Fingerprint:

Browser fingerprint with test results

Important: Fingerprint Check shows “Masking detected.” This is Dolphin{anty} antidetect browser being flagged, not a proxy issue. You won’t see this warning with a regular browser using a proxy extension. Doesn’t affect proxy quality itself.

Speed Test

Fast.com:

26 Mbps download speed—decent for residential proxies. Remember, traffic goes through an actual end user’s device, so don’t expect datacenter speeds. Latency of 277-311 ms is on the high side, but acceptable for tasks that don’t need real-time response.

FOGLDN ProxyTester:

982 ms response time to Google. Proxy works consistently.

Latency From Different Regions

PingProxies.com:

Latency from different parts of the world:

LocationLatency
New York City, US1412 ms
London, GB1497 ms
San Francisco, US1920 ms
Singapore, SG2970 ms

Average latency of 1412 ms. That’s a lot, especially to Singapore (almost 3 seconds). Fine for scraping, but you’ll definitely feel it during interactive browsing.

Real-World Testing: Practical Use Cases

Technical tests are fine, but the real question is: how do these proxies hold up in the field? I ran a few experiments.

Case 1: Reddit Account Registration

My main use case is farming Reddit accounts. Tried registering 5 accounts through Proxy-Seller (South America region, Sticky IP).

AttemptResultNotes
Account 1SuccessRegistration went through, email verified
Account 2SuccessNo issues
Account 3Shadowbanned after 2 daysAccount banned after first posts
Account 4Phone verification requiredAsked for phone number during registration
Account 5SuccessRunning stable

Result: 3 out of 5 accounts survived (60%). For comparison, with quality residential proxies that have clean Usage Type, I usually get 80-90% survival rate. I suspect the Corporate usage type and DNS leak are tanking the trust score during registration.

Case 2: Google Scraping (1000 Requests)

Ran a simple Google SERP scraper using Rotating proxies. 1000 requests with 3-5 second intervals.

MetricResult
Total requests1000
Successful (200 code)923 (92.3%)
Captcha54 (5.4%)
Timeout/error23 (2.3%)
Traffic used~180 MB

Result: 92.3% success rate—solid numbers. These proxies work well for Google scraping. Captchas mostly popped up when I pushed the request rate too hard.

Case 3: Instagram (Profile Viewing)

Tested Instagram browsing with Dolphin{anty} + Sticky proxies. Task: viewing public profiles without logging in.

Result: Worked without any issues. Browsed around 200 profiles over 2 hours, no blocks or captchas. For scraping public Instagram data, these proxies get the job done.

Case 4: Nike SNKRS Test

Checked if Nike SNKRS would let these proxies through (known for brutal anti-fraud).

Result: Fail. Trying to add items to cart resulted in endless loading and redirects to the homepage. Classic sign of detection. Likely a combo of Corporate usage type + DNS mismatch.

Takeaway from practical tests: Proxy-Seller handles scraping and content browsing well. Acceptable for account registration on lenient platforms. For finicky services (Nike, Ticketmaster, Reddit with city targeting)—I’d pass.

Final Verdict and Recommendations

Proxy-Seller offers a working product in the mid-range price segment. Their proxies pass basic anonymity tests, don’t get flagged as bots, and have zero fraud scores. The no-subscription billing model is convenient for occasional use.

However, I discovered serious issues for tasks requiring clean checks across the board: DNS leaking through American servers while using a Colombian IP, and Usage Type classified as Corporate instead of Residential.

I recommend Proxy-Seller for:

  • Search engine and website scraping – 92%+ success rate, solid IP rotation;
  • SEO monitoring – rank checking, SERP analysis;
  • Working with lenient social platforms – Instagram (viewing), Facebook (basic tasks);
  • Testing and small projects – pay-as-you-go model lets you try without commitment.

I don’t recommend Proxy-Seller for:

  • Reddit, Twitter, TikTok account farming – 60% survival rate, needs city-level targeting;
  • Nike SNKRS, Ticketmaster, Supreme – blocked due to Corporate type and DNS leak;
  • Email marketing – IPs are on spam lists;
  • Tasks requiring precise geotargeting – can’t select specific cities in popular regions.

Alternatives for My Use Cases

For Reddit farming with specific city targeting, I’ll be testing:

  • Bright Data – pricey, but has precise city-level targeting and clean Usage Type;
  • SOAX – claims city targeting, need to verify DNS leak situation;
  • Oxylabs – premium segment with solid reputation for demanding tasks.
