IPv6 Residential

IPv6 Residential proxies exit through residential IPv6 addresses in the United States. The IPv6 address space is enormous, so the pool offers a huge number of distinct addresses, and residential allocations look like home users to the sites that see them.

Connection details#

You connect to the gateway over IPv4, like every other product. Only the exit uses IPv6, so your own network does not need IPv6.

Check a site for IPv6#

These proxies can only reach sites that accept IPv6 connections. A site supports IPv6 when its hostname has an AAAA record. Check before you buy or point a job at it:

dig AAAA example.com +short

Resolve-DnsName example.com -Type AAAA

An IPv6 address in the answer means the site is reachable over IPv6. An empty answer means it is IPv4-only, and you need an IPv4 product such as Residential for it.

See your IPv6 exit#

Many IP check services answer over IPv4 only. Use one that also listens on IPv6:

curl -x http://USERNAME:[email protected]:30 https://api64.ipify.org

The answer is an IPv6 address, written with colons, such as 2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334.

Pool and rotation#

The exits are in the United States, so there is no location parameter to add. Each new connection can leave from a different address, and the proxy generator builds rotating lines for this product.

Billing#

Two modes on the purchase page:

• Bandwidth: per GB, from 1 GB.
• Speed × Time: reserve 10 to 2,000 Mbps for 1, 7, 30, 60 or 90 days, with no gigabyte cap.

Rates are on the pricing page.

Good fits#

• Large jobs on IPv6-ready sites, where the number of distinct addresses matters more than location.
• Spreading requests very thinly, so each address sends little traffic.

Some sites rate limit whole IPv6 ranges instead of single addresses. If a target blocks you even though your addresses keep changing, move it to an IPv4 product.
