IPRoyal obtains residential proxies through a proxy software application called IPRoyal Pawns. For a while, it was simultaneously reselling proxy infrastructure while trying to build its own pool. The source abruptly terminated the contract, but IPRoyal was able to get back on its feet and now controls a network of approximately 250,000 residential addresses per month.

4IPRoyal Advantages
IPRoyal is the foreign proxy provider I have used the most. When bots heavily access foreign social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, IPRoyal still performs well, but it also has many drawbacks. The most obvious one is frequent stockouts!
IPRoyal supports USDT payments
IPRoyal supports USDT and credit card payments, which is very convenient. No matter where you are or what currency you use, you only need to convert it to USDT to top up, or buy and use IPRoyal directly. My personal suggestion is to confirm the amount first, then verify the top-up for greater accuracy!
When paying with USDT, be sure to carefully check the corresponding currency you selected
IPRoyal supports UnionPay payments
IPRoyal supports UnionPay payment. If you are in China, you can pay with UnionPay. It is a one-time payment with no automatic recurring charge, which is very convenient and safe, and the official fee is extremely low, with the deduction credited instantly!
Strong customer support
IPRoyal's support team is very strong. Within 3 minutes of you raising an issue, they will definitely help you solve it, and they support many languages! But that is also a drawback, because their translations are prone to errors, the meaning can get lost, and communication with support staff is not always accurate, which is a bit troublesome!
Friendly Chinese interface
IPRoyal is one of the few proxy IP providers I have seen that supports a Chinese interface. No translation is needed. The dashboard is very clean, and you can easily manage and use their products!
Able to unlock streaming
IPRoyal proxies support unlocking streaming services like Netflix, as well as WhatsApp calls and Zoom video conferences. You can also use them to scrape videos from social media sites in bulk, upload videos, and more. Python scraping of YouTube videos generally uses IPRoyal proxies!
IPRoyal supports HTTPS and SOCKS5
When testing IPRoyal, I checked the SOCKS5 transport protocol. It is not server-side acceleration. SOCKS5 provides the extra ability to authenticate, so only authorized users can access the server. This makes it more secure than other proxy servers.
IPRoyal's usual HTTP port is 12323, and the SOCKS5 proxy port is 12324
5IPRoyal Disadvantages
IPRoyal is a top-tier proxy provider that performs well in terms of security. But there are also many issues. Here are a few that we have summarized for you!
Customer support team translated with software!
I have to admit their support team is very fast, but the customer service software uses automatic translation, which is really overkill and makes communication with them very difficult. Support cannot accurately understand what you mean. I ran into this before: I asked them to replace a proxy IP that was no longer usable, and they reset the proxy IP I had just purchased, which forced my software to import the IPs all over again and wasted a lot of time!
Proxy P is often out of stock
IPRoyal's proxy pool is not as powerful as you might expect. Many regions are often out of stock, especially static residential proxies. Only a few regions are available long-term. The US is available long-term, as is Brazil. For other regions, you need to consult support before buying and reserve in advance!
6FAQ
When using IPRoyal, you may run into these issues. I have listed a few for you, and you can ask about them my way!
Does it support refunds?
IPRoyal supports refunds within 24 hours; requests after that are not accepted by the official support!
How fast is IPRoyal?
IPRoyal performs very well in terms of speed for some types of proxies, but its datacenter proxies are easily blocked because IPRoyal's proxy pool is relatively small, and IPRoyal focuses mainly on developing static residential proxies. IPRoyal's static residential proxies can unlock most streaming sites and are very powerful!
What should I do if an IPRoyal USDT top-up does not arrive?
I encountered this problem before too: IPRoyal USDT top-up did not arrive. Their official explanation was that they would process my payment within 2 hours manually, so you can only wait. The money you paid will definitely arrive, and during this period do not do anything!
Can I get a refund if my IPRoyal proxy IP is blocked?
IPRoyal only supports an unconditional 24-hour refund. However, if your proxy IP is blocked by certain websites, you need to provide a screenshot of the official login to them; otherwise official support cannot replace it for you. Remember, it only supports replacements, and there are no refunds after 24 hours!
What type of proxy is IPRoyal's sneaker proxy?
IPRoyal sneaker proxies use static residential proxies, which are relatively cheap, but the bandwidth in between is also controlled. They are not as fast as static residential proxies, and the IPs have been reused. Some IP ranges are also often blocked. If the site you are accessing is blocked, it is recommended to use another IP range. Be sure to avoid blocked IP ranges!
Can IPRoyal unlock Netflix?
Yes, you can use residential and mobile proxies to unlock Netflix. There are no problems accessing Netflix with these proxy types. However, I do not recommend using their datacenter IPs to access video media sites. Datacenter IPs are easily blocked, so you will go through a lot of trial and error.
IPRoyal review summary
The advantage of residential proxies is that you can access networks in any region around the world, so they can give you access to almost any content. Once you have proxies in dozens of different countries/regions, geo-restrictions are no longer a problem.
So, in essence, residential IPs are high-quality, highly anonymous proxies that get the job done where other IPs cannot. The best solution, in terms of functionality and ease of use, is a backconnect proxy that automatically switches between IPs at fixed intervals or after each request.
