# Proxmint — Residential, Datacenter & Mobile Proxies

> Proxmint sells residential, datacenter, and mobile HTTP/HTTPS and SOCKS5 proxies with exits in 195+ countries, billed by the gigabyte. One gateway serves every pool, each with its own login — point any app or scraper at it. Pay-as-you-go with lifetime bandwidth packs (no subscription, no expiry). Crypto checkout (Cryptomus).

Proxmint is a proxy service for web scraping, data collection, ad verification, SEO monitoring, price/market research, and social/account management. Every pool targets by country, and down to state, city, ZIP code or carrier (ASN); that finer targeting meters at 2× on residential, datacenter and mobile, and at the plain rate on premium residential. Gateway uptime over the last 30 days: 99.82%, measured every 5 minutes and published at https://proxmint.com/status.

## Products
- [Residential proxies](https://proxmint.com/proxies/residential): rotating residential IPs, country targeting included. Fine geo (state / city / ZIP / ASN) — meters at 2×.
- [Premium residential](https://proxmint.com/proxies/premium-residential): a curated, higher-reputation slice of the residential pool. Fine geo (state / city / ZIP / ASN) at 1× — no surcharge.
- [Datacenter proxies](https://proxmint.com/proxies/datacenter): fast, low-cost datacenter IPs. Fine geo (state / city / ZIP / ASN) — meters at 2×.
- [Mobile proxies](https://proxmint.com/proxies/mobile): real carrier mobile IPs. Fine geo (state / city / ZIP / ASN) — meters at 2×.

## Pricing
- [Pricing](https://proxmint.com/pricing): pay-as-you-go, billed per gigabyte. Lifetime packs — pay once, use until the bandwidth is gone. No monthly subscription; bigger packs cost less per GB.
- [Pay as you go](https://proxmint.com/pay-as-you-go): how the no-subscription model works — no monthly reset, no card on file, packs stack, and an empty balance pauses the proxies rather than deleting them.

## Docs
- [Quickstart](https://proxmint.com/docs/quickstart): connect in a minute — gateway `gw.proxmint.com`, port 823 for HTTP/HTTPS and 824 for SOCKS5, the username and password from the dashboard, and a one-line cURL test.
- [Targeting & sessions](https://proxmint.com/docs/targeting): every username parameter — `cr` (country), `state`, `city`, `zip`, `asn`, `geohash`, the exclusions `nocr`, `nostate`, `nozip`, `noasn`, the `anon.1` filter, and sticky sessions with `sessid` / `sessttl` — e.g. `PROXY_USER__cr.us;city.newyork`. Also how to read each exit's IP, country, state, city, ZIP, ASN and geohash from `X-Proxy-*` response headers, and which keys meter at 2×.
- [Geohash targeting](https://proxmint.com/docs/geohash): exit from one neighborhood — `PROXY_USER__geohash.dr5ru` gives IPs from that map square (Midtown Manhattan); `geohash.dr5ru-us` keeps it in one country, `mingeopool.5000` widens it until enough IPs are in play, with an in-page geohash finder. In the dashboard it is set per line on the Generator tab, picked on a map, and testable before use; it can't be saved as default targeting.
- [Customer API](https://proxmint.com/docs/api): read-only JSON for account holders — `GET https://proxmint.com/api/v1/account` (balance, each product's remaining bandwidth and proxy credentials), `GET https://proxmint.com/api/v1/usage` (daily bytes and requests per product), `POST https://proxmint.com/api/v1/proxies` (ready proxy lines with location targeting and sticky sessions) and `POST https://proxmint.com/api/v1/check` (one test request through a product); `GET https://proxmint.com/api/v1/pricing` needs no key. Authenticate with `Authorization: Bearer <key>`; keys are created under Settings in the dashboard.
- [MCP server](https://proxmint.com/docs/mcp): a hosted MCP server at `https://proxmint.com/api/mcp` for Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients — fetch a page through your proxies, generate proxy lines with targeting and sticky sessions, check a connection, read balance and usage.
- [LangChain](https://proxmint.com/docs/langchain): `pip install langchain-proxmint` — `ProxmintFetchTool` lets an agent read pages from residential, datacenter or mobile IPs in any country, and `ProxmintLoader` loads pages into Documents.
- [Haystack](https://proxmint.com/docs/haystack): `pip install proxmint-haystack` — `ProxmintFetcher` fetches pages for a Haystack pipeline or agent through residential, datacenter or mobile IPs in any country and returns Documents.
- [Dify](https://proxmint.com/docs/dify): the Proxmint plugin for Dify adds a Fetch page tool that agents, chatflows and workflows use to read pages from residential, datacenter or mobile IPs in a chosen country and city.
- [Strands Agents](https://proxmint.com/docs/strands): `pip install strands-proxmint` — the `proxmint_fetch` tool lets a Strands agent read pages from residential, datacenter or mobile IPs in any country, with city and ASN targeting and sticky sessions.
- [Node-RED](https://proxmint.com/docs/node-red): `npm install @proxmint/node-red` — the proxmint fetch node fetches pages in a Node-RED flow through residential, datacenter or mobile IPs in any country, with city and ASN targeting and sticky sessions.
- [n8n](https://proxmint.com/docs/n8n): the verified `n8n-nodes-proxmint` node builds proxy lines (country, city, ASN, sticky sessions) for the HTTP Request node's Proxy option, checks a connection and reads balance, usage and prices; use HTTP lines, since n8n skips `socks5://` proxies and sends the request direct.
- [Integrately](https://proxmint.com/docs/integrately): the Proxmint app on Integrately connects an account to 1,200+ apps with no code — triggers when the balance or a product's bandwidth falls below a threshold or a product's status changes, and actions that read the account, daily usage, an IP's location and the free proxy list. Read-only, authenticated with an API key.
- [IFTTT](https://proxmint.com/docs/ifttt): the Proxmint service on IFTTT (ifttt.com/proxmint) starts Applets when a product's bandwidth falls below a set number of GB or a UTC day's usage is in; ready-made Applets send email, phone, Slack, Telegram, Discord or Teams alerts and log usage to Google Sheets. Connects through Proxmint sign-in and a read-only key named "IFTTT".
- [Browser extension](https://proxmint.com/docs/browser-extension): the Proxmint Proxy extension for Chrome (Chrome Web Store) and Edge (Edge Add-ons) sends the browser through a residential, datacenter or 4G/5G mobile IP in the country you pick and answers the proxy login itself; country targeting only.
- [Docker local proxy](https://proxmint.com/docs/docker): `docker run -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 -e PROXMINT_API_KEY=... proxmint/local-proxy` — a local HTTP proxy with no login that adds your proxy login and targeting to each request, for Chrome's `--proxy-server`, Selenium and other tools that can't send proxy credentials.
- [Support](https://proxmint.com/support): FAQ, AI answers, tickets, Telegram, Discord and email.

## Network rules
- [Blocked websites](https://proxmint.com/docs/blocked-websites): sites the network refuses on every plan and pool unless one is opened for a single account after a use-case review, answered with `403 SITE_PERMANENTLY_BLOCKED` — banks and payment services (PayPal, Stripe, Wise and 2,828 listed domains in all), every government domain (.gov, .gov.uk, gov.in and the rest), and a short named list. Has a checker for any site.
- [Port access](https://proxmint.com/docs/ports): the proxies reach destination ports 80, 443, 8080, 8443, 8888, 8090, 53, 853, 5060 and 5228 by default; another can be opened for one account on request.
- [Error codes](https://proxmint.com/docs/errors): what each gateway error means (NO_USER, TRAFFIC_EXHAUSTED, NO_RAY, PORT_BLOCKED …) and how to fix it.

## Learn & tools
- [Use cases](https://proxmint.com/use-cases): web scraping, ad verification, SEO monitoring, price monitoring, and more.
- [Learn](https://proxmint.com/learn): proxy concepts and how-to guides.
- [Free tools](https://proxmint.com/tools): IP lookup, what-is-my-IP, a proxy command generator and a proxy formatter.
- [Proxy formatter](https://proxmint.com/tools/proxy-formatter): convert a proxy list between IP:Port:User:Pass, User:Pass@IP:Port, User:Pass:IP:Port, IP:Port@User:Pass, http:// or socks5:// URLs, IP:Port and a custom template (Playwright JSON, CSV); detects each line's format, removes duplicates, runs in the browser.
- [Geohash map & converter](https://proxmint.com/tools/geohash): encode coordinates to a geohash and decode one to latitude/longitude (1-12 characters), with cell sizes, the 8 neighbors and the squares on a globe.
- [Locations](https://proxmint.com/locations): proxy availability by country and city.
- [Compare](https://proxmint.com/compare) and [Alternatives](https://proxmint.com/alternatives): how Proxmint compares to other proxy providers.
- [Free proxies](https://proxmint.com/free-proxies): a validated list of free public proxies, re-checked every 30 minutes.
- [Free proxy API](https://proxmint.com/free-proxies#api): the same list as JSON or plain text, no API key and no signup — `GET https://proxmint.com/api/free-proxies`. Filter by `protocol`, `country` (ISO alpha-2), `anonymity`, `sort`; add `format=txt` for bare ip:port lines. CORS is open; 60 requests/minute per IP.
- [Free proxy list on GitHub](https://github.com/proxmint/free-proxy-list): the same pool auto-committed every 30 minutes as plain `ip:port` files per protocol, plus `elite.txt` and `all.json` — clone or `curl` it with no API call at all.
- [`proxmint` on npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/proxmint): zero-dependency Node client and CLI over the free proxy API — `npx proxmint -p socks5 -c de -n 50`.
- [Sites that block datacenter IPs](https://proxmint.com/free-proxies/blocked-sites): original measurement — the top sites are requested twice at the same moment, once from a datacenter IP and once from a residential one, and only the cases where the two answers differ are published.
- [Block benchmark API](https://proxmint.com/api/site-blocks): the same data as JSON or CSV, no API key — `GET https://proxmint.com/api/site-blocks`. `blocked=dc|resi|all`, `edge`, `limit`, `offset`; add `format=csv` for a spreadsheet. Each row carries both vantage points' HTTP status, the fronting CDN, and `skip_reason` where a name was never dialled. CORS is open; 60 requests/minute per IP.
- [What the Tranco top 1,000 actually contains](https://proxmint.com/free-proxies/blocked-sites): a second finding from the same run, which nobody else publishes — Tranco ranks by DNS query volume rather than visitors, so roughly a fifth of the "top 1,000 websites" have no address at their apex and serve no homepage to anyone. CDN and nameserver domains rank that high on lookup volume alone; the highest-ranked of them sits in the top ten. Any benchmark that takes "the top 1,000 sites" and starts requesting them is measuring that fifth as if it were websites. The exact count is on the page and every row is in the API with its reason. (No number quoted here on purpose: this file is generated at build time and the count moves with each run.)
- [OpenAPI spec](https://proxmint.com/openapi.json): the public endpoints and the customer API in OpenAPI 3.1 — parameters, enums and response shapes, importable into any HTTP client.
- [System status](https://proxmint.com/status): live gateway health, checked every 5 minutes with a real proxied request, with 90 days of uptime history and an incident list.

## Notes for agents
- The account dashboard (/dashboard) and admin (/admin) are private and not intended for crawling. Most of /api is private too — the exceptions are /api/free-proxies, /api/site-blocks and /api/geoip, which are deliberately public and free to call or cite, and /api/v1/*, the customer API, which needs an account's API key; /openapi.json describes them.
- The free proxy list and the block benchmark are both licensed CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/): reuse it however you like, including commercially, provided you credit Proxmint and link https://proxmint.com/free-proxies.
- Sign-up is required to buy bandwidth; setup is a single proxy endpoint with username/password auth.
