Scroll IPCook's navigation and you get an unusually honest picture of what people buy proxies for.

YouTube. Telegram. Instagram. Twitter. TikTok. Reddit. Amazon. eBay. Shopee. Craigslist.

Each with its own page. No polite abstraction into data collection, just the actual platforms.

Why Per Platform Guidance Is Useful

Because these platforms genuinely need different things, and getting it wrong is how people waste their first month.

Instagram and TikTok care intensely about whether an address looks mobile and whether it stays put. An account that hops between addresses reads as compromised. You want a stable mobile or residential address per account.

Amazon and eBay care about location, because prices, availability and search results differ by market. You want rotation and precise geography.

Telegram is a different problem entirely, needing a proxy that speaks its protocol rather than a browser proxy pointed at it.

A provider that separates these is one that has fielded the support tickets. The configuration advice per platform is worth more than another million addresses in the pool.

Shopee Is a Tell

Most Western proxy providers stop at Amazon and eBay. Listing Shopee means paying attention to Southeast Asian e-commerce, which is enormous and routinely ignored.

If your work touches those markets, a provider that has thought about them is meaningfully more useful than one that has not, because address depth in a region tends to follow the attention paid to it.

Four Product Types

Residential proxies form the core. Unlimited proxies remove the bandwidth meter for heavy continuous work. ISP proxies give residential trust at datacenter speed. Datacenter sits underneath for raw performance.

Named locations include the United States, France, Japan, Vietnam, Canada, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Germany, with more available. SOCKS5 and API access are supported.

Vietnam and Japan appearing in the headline location list is another sign of where the focus is, and again, that is useful information rather than decoration.

Unlimited Versus Metered

Having both an unlimited tier and a metered one is more useful than it sounds, because platform work and collection work consume bandwidth completely differently.

Managing a handful of accounts uses almost nothing. You log in, you post, you log out. Metered pricing is obviously right and a flat monthly fee would be waste.

Scraping a marketplace is the opposite. Product pages are heavy, images are heavier, and a metered plan turns every listing into a small charge you end up thinking about. Flat pricing removes that entirely.

Most people end up doing both. Being able to buy each on the right model, from one account, is the version that actually saves money.

Who It Fits

IPCook suits social media account management, e-commerce work across Asian and Western marketplaces, anyone who wants setup guidance for a specific platform rather than generic documentation, and users who need both unlimited and metered options.

Who Might Look Elsewhere

Enterprise buyers wanting SLAs, dedicated account management and formal procurement will find this lighter than the big platforms.

If your work is pure large scale crawling with no platform specificity, the per platform framing gives you nothing and a plain per gigabyte provider will do.

Final Verdict

IPCook is a practical, well organised provider that meets people where they actually are.

Four product types, real geographic spread including markets others skip, and platform specific guidance that answers the question most people arrive with. The Shopee and Vietnam coverage in particular makes this worth knowing about if your work reaches into Southeast Asia.

Find the page for your platform, follow the configuration it suggests, and verify the result with our proxy checker before you build a workflow on top of it.
