An ISP Proxy is a premium proxy server that uses IP addresses registered with legitimate Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Unlike datacenter proxies that come from hosting facilities, ISP proxies appear as genuine residential connections while maintaining the speed and reliability of datacenter infrastructure.

ISP proxies offer the perfect balance between legitimacy and performance, making them ideal for tasks requiring high trust scores such as social media management, e-commerce, ad verification, and accessing geo-restricted content.

Free ISP proxies are extremely rare and typically unreliable when available. Due to the premium nature and higher costs of maintaining ISP proxy networks, legitimate providers don't offer them for free.

Free proxies claiming to be ISP proxies are often datacenter proxies misrepresented, or worse, compromised networks that pose serious security risks. They may log your activity, inject malware, or sell your data to third parties.

Investing in paid ISP proxies ensures you get authentic ISP IPs, reliable performance, dedicated support, and most importantly, your data remains secure and private.

Getting started with ISP proxies is straightforward with Roundproxies:

1. Create an account on our website and verify your email

2. Select an ISP proxy package that fits your needs (consider the number of IPs and locations required)

3. Complete your purchase using one of our secure payment methods

4. Access your proxy dashboard where you'll find your proxy IPs, authentication details, and comprehensive setup guides

5. Configure your browser, application, or automation tool using our step-by-step instructions

Our 24/7 support team is available to help you with any questions during setup and optimization.

ISP proxies are hosted on internet service provider networks and have IP addresses that appear to be from real users, while datacenter proxies are hosted in data centers with IPs that are clearly identified as from hosting facilities.

ISP proxies combine the legitimacy of residential proxies with the speed of datacenter proxies, making them less likely to be blocked by websites. They're more expensive but offer better success rates for accessing restricted content.

Datacenter proxies offer superior speed and lower costs, making them ideal for tasks where IP reputation is less important, such as data scraping from non-restrictive websites, market research, and load testing.

ISP proxies are significantly harder to detect compared to datacenter proxies. Since they use IP addresses from legitimate Internet Service Providers, they appear as genuine residential connections to most websites and anti-fraud systems.

Our ISP proxies maintain high trust scores and clean IP reputations, making them suitable for accessing even the most restrictive websites, including social media platforms, e-commerce sites, and streaming services.

While no proxy is 100% undetectable, ISP proxies offer the best balance of anonymity, legitimacy, and performance. For maximum effectiveness, we recommend rotating your ISP proxies and following best practices for usage limits.

Proxies and VPNs serve different security purposes, making direct comparison difficult:

Proxies offer application-level routing, meaning you can assign different IPs to different applications. This provides greater flexibility and control over your online footprint compared to VPNs, which typically route all traffic through a single server.

VPNs provide encrypted connections for all internet traffic from your device, offering better overall privacy protection. They're generally more user-friendly and require less technical configuration.

For targeted tasks requiring multiple IPs or specific location targeting, proxies are often more effective. For general browsing privacy and encryption, VPNs typically provide better all-around protection.

ISP proxies deliver exceptional speed, typically offering response times between 10-60ms depending on geographic location and network conditions.

Our ISP proxies operate on high-speed ISP networks with dedicated bandwidth allocation, ensuring consistent performance even during high-traffic periods. While slightly slower than datacenter proxies due to routing through ISP infrastructure, they're significantly faster than residential proxies.

The speed advantage of ISP proxies makes them perfect for applications requiring both legitimacy and performance, such as social media automation, price monitoring, sneaker copping, and streaming.

The number of ISP proxies needed depends on your specific use case:

For social media account management, we recommend 1-2 dedicated ISP proxies per account to maintain consistent IP reputation and avoid triggering security systems.

For e-commerce operations or sneaker botting, 5-10 ISP proxies typically provide enough diversity to avoid rate limiting while maintaining high success rates.

For ad verification or market research across multiple regions, consider our multi-location packages with 20-50 ISP proxies to ensure comprehensive geographic coverage.

Our support team can help you determine the optimal number of ISP proxies for your specific project requirements.

VPNs and proxy servers differ in several key aspects:

Traffic routing: VPNs encrypt and route all traffic from your device, while proxies typically work on an application level (like a specific browser or application).

Encryption: VPNs provide end-to-end encryption for all internet traffic, while standard proxies often don't encrypt data (HTTPS proxies provide some encryption).

Configuration: VPNs are generally easier to set up with user-friendly applications, while proxies often require manual configuration for each application.

Performance: Proxies, especially ISP proxies, typically offer faster speeds than VPNs due to lower overhead from encryption.

IP diversity: Proxy services like ours provide access to multiple different IPs that can be rotated or switched, while VPNs typically offer fewer IP options.

Yes! ISP proxies are excellent for social media platforms and are often the recommended solution for social media management and automation.

Major social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok trust ISP proxies because they appear as genuine residential connections from legitimate Internet Service Providers, resulting in significantly lower ban rates compared to datacenter proxies.

For social media account management, automation, or multi-account operations, ISP proxies provide the perfect balance of legitimacy, speed, and reliability. We recommend using dedicated ISP proxies (one per account) for best results.

Our ISP proxies have been specifically tested and optimized for major social media platforms to ensure maximum success rates and account safety.

Roundproxies offers a global network of ISP proxies across 100+ locations in 50+ countries.

Our most popular ISP proxy locations include the United States (with coverage in major cities like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami), United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, France, Netherlands, Australia, Japan, Singapore, and Brazil.

We provide city-level targeting options, allowing you to specify the exact geographic location of your ISP proxies for applications requiring precise location-based access.

Our dashboard includes real-time availability showing current ISP proxy inventory and performance metrics for each location, ensuring you always have access to high-quality IPs in your target regions.

Roundproxies ISP proxy packages support multiple concurrent connections, with limits designed to maintain optimal performance:

Standard ISP plans allow 50 concurrent connections per proxy

Premium ISP plans support up to 100 concurrent connections per proxy

Enterprise solutions offer customized concurrent connection limits based on your specific needs

Concurrent connections refer to the number of simultaneous requests you can make through a single ISP proxy IP. For social media and e-commerce applications, we recommend staying within these limits to maintain natural usage patterns and avoid detection.

Roundproxies ISP proxies support multiple authentication methods to suit different technical requirements:

Username/password authentication: The most common method, compatible with most applications and automation tools

IP whitelisting: Restrict proxy access to specific IP addresses for enhanced security and seamless integration

API key authentication: For automated systems and custom applications requiring programmatic access

All authentication methods are managed through our secure dashboard, allowing you to update credentials, manage whitelisted IPs, or generate new API keys instantly without interrupting your operations.
