Proxy types available in China
Here is what the China catalog holds today: the proxy types we sell, how many package options each has, the lowest per-IP price and the rental periods on offer. Nothing on this table is estimated, it is read from the same catalog the order form uses.
The cheapest option for China is Datacenter Proxy IPv4 at US$0.70 per IP for 7 days. Longer periods are usually cheaper per day, and most types let you rent a single IP, so you can start with one address and add more later.
Datacenter Proxy IPv4 is the type we list for China today. The catalog is refreshed from our suppliers, so new types appear on this page as soon as they are in stock.
| Proxy type | Package options | From (per IP) | Rental periods |
|---|---|---|---|
| Datacenter Proxy IPv4 | 5 | US$0.70 | 1 week to 3 months |

How country targeting works
ProxyOnly sells proxies by country. When you rent an IP you pick the country, the proxy type and the rental period, and every request you send through that proxy leaves from an address registered in that country. Gateway users can also add a country code to the username, for example username-country-cn, to choose the exit per request.
We do not promise a city, a ZIP code or a specific ISP for countries outside the United States, because the suppliers behind those countries sell by country. If a project needs a particular city, test the address with the proxy tester first and talk to us before you rent a large batch.
What a proxy for China is used for
People look for a China proxy for practical reasons, almost all of them about seeing a public website the way a local visitor sees it. These are the jobs we hear about most.
Local search and SEO checks. Search results are personalised by country. To audit rankings for China, load the public results from a China address, compare what appears for .cn domains and local-language queries, and check that hreflang, local business listings and country pages do what they should. A clean address with no logged-in history gives you a fair baseline.
Localization and QA testing. Product teams use a China exit to test what a customer in China actually experiences: the interface language, date and currency formats, the phone format (+86), cookie banners, payment options and any features switched on or off by country. Sticky sessions keep one address while a tester writes up a bug.
Market research on public data. Researchers read public pages the way a local visitor would: listings, directories, public review pages and government or company sites that vary by country. Using a China exit shows the version of the page meant for China. Collect only what you are allowed to collect, respect robots rules and rate limits, and keep your own notes in your own tools.
App store and content availability. App stores, software downloads and media catalogues differ by country. A China address lets you check whether an app is listed for China, which price and currency the store shows, and whether a public download or landing page is available there. It is a read-only check: you still need to follow the terms of the service you are testing.
Brand and reputation monitoring. Brand teams watch how a name appears on public pages in China: local news sites, regional marketplaces, comparison pages and review sites. A China exit makes sure the pages you review are the ones local visitors get, in Chinese, Cantonese, Wu Chinese and Uyghur, rather than a version redirected for your own location.
Which proxy type fits China
Pick the proxy type from the job rather than the price. Here is how the types we sell compare, so you can match one to your work in China:
Datacenter IPv4. The default choice for most jobs. These are dedicated IPv4 addresses hosted in a datacenter, fast and inexpensive, and the best fit for high-volume reading of public pages, monitoring and automation. Some websites treat datacenter ranges more cautiously than consumer connections, so test your target before you commit to a long rental.
ISP proxies. Static addresses that are registered to an internet service provider rather than a hosting company. They keep the speed of datacenter hardware and look more like an ordinary home or office connection, which helps with destinations that are strict about hosting ranges. They are not in the current catalog for this country.
Shared IPv4. A shared address is used by more than one customer and costs less. It suits light tasks, quick checks and testing where a clean, exclusive address is not essential.
IPv6. IPv6 addresses are very cheap and plentiful, and they work well with destinations that serve IPv6 traffic, such as many large search, video and social platforms. Many smaller sites are still IPv4 only, so check that your target supports IPv6 before you buy.
Mobile proxies. Addresses from mobile carrier networks. Many phones share the same carrier address, so websites tend to be tolerant of this traffic, which makes mobile proxies the right choice for testing mobile ads, apps and landing pages. They cost more than datacenter addresses.
Residential proxies. Addresses from home internet connections, billed by the amount of traffic you use and not by the IP. They suit light, bursty jobs on sites that block datacenter and ISP ranges. Heavy traffic gets expensive quickly, so estimate your monthly volume first.
If you are unsure, rent one address of the type you think you need, run your real task against it for a day, and look at the success rate. Because rental periods start at a few days, trying a type costs very little.

Using proxies responsibly in China
A proxy is a networking tool and it is lawful in most places, but what you do with it still has to be lawful and fair. Follow the laws that apply to you and to the place you send traffic to, read the terms of the sites you visit, honour robots rules and rate limits, and never use an address to access accounts or data that are not yours. ProxyOnly cannot give legal advice, and our acceptable use policy applies to every order.
In practice that means reading public pages, checking your own sites and ads, and testing your own products. If a task would be unwelcome to the site owner when done by hand, it is unwelcome when done through a proxy too.

Frequently asked questions
Can I buy a proxy in China?
Yes, you can rent China proxies from ProxyOnly. We currently list 1 proxy type for China: Datacenter Proxy IPv4.
How much does a China proxy cost?
Prices for China start at US$0.70 per IP for 7 days. The final price depends on the type, the number of IPs and the rental period, and longer periods work out cheaper per day. The order page shows the exact total before you pay.
Which proxy type should I use for China?
For most public-data work Datacenter Proxy IPv4 is the practical default. If the site you are testing is strict about hosting ranges, try an ISP proxy instead. Rent one address first and check your success rate before you scale up.
Can I choose a city in China?
We sell by country, so the address is registered in China. Whether it resolves to China depends on how the supplier registered it and on the geolocation database you check, so we do not guarantee a city. Rent one IP, test it, and ask us if you need city-level accuracy.
How do I check that my proxy really shows China?
Use the proxy tester on the ProxyOnly home page: it connects through your proxy and reports the exit IP, the country and the latency. You can also open any public IP lookup page through the proxy and compare the country with CN.
Which languages and currency will sites show in China?
Expect Chinese, Cantonese, Wu Chinese and Uyghur and prices in Yuan Renminbi (CNY). Many sites also offer English, but the default usually follows the country, which is exactly what a China proxy lets you verify.
How do I pay and how fast is delivery?
You add funds to your balance in cryptocurrency, starting from one US dollar, and pay for each order from that balance. Orders are delivered to your dashboard with the host, port, username and password. Delivery time depends on the supplier for the type you choose.
Is it legal to use a proxy in China?
Proxies are legal networking tools in most countries, but your use of one has to follow the law and the terms of the sites you visit. We do not give legal advice and our acceptable use policy applies to every order. If you are unsure about your use case, check with a lawyer who knows the rules where you work.
