Unknown Proxies

Unknown Proxies is a US-based provider that has carved out a specific niche in the ISP proxy market, with a secondary residential network for users who need rotating IPs. Where most general-purpose proxy shops try to be everything to everyone, Unknown Proxies is built around the cop community — sneaker botters, ticket brokers, and retail account managers who need dedicated static IPs on fresh subnets, instant delivery, and a support team that actually knows what an AYCD task group is. The platform reports serving 250,000+ customers and holds a 4.8/5 rating across 60+ verified Trustpilot reviews, which is unusually strong for a vertical-focused provider.

The network breaks into two product lines. Unknown Proxies operates a residential pool of roughly 35 million IPs spanning 150+ countries with both rotating and sticky sessions, marketed toward web scraping, market research, and retail automation. The ISP side is the headline product — dedicated static residential IPs hosted in Tier 1 datacenters on a 100 Gbps backbone, with the provider advertising sub-5ms response times and 99.99% uptime. ISPs are organized into three tiers (Utility, Signature, Event), each pulling from different subnets so that quality is matched to the toughness of the target site.

Pricing is transparent and structured around use case rather than just bandwidth. Residential proxies start at $7.79/GB, which is mid-market — cheaper than BrightData but noticeably more expensive than Webshare or Decodo per-GB residential plans. ISP proxies are sold per IP: $1.13/IP on the Utility tier (account management, light scraping, rate-limit bypass), a mid-priced Signature tier for retail and sensitive scraping, and $1.77/IP on the Event tier specifically for ticketing drops. All ISP plans include unlimited bandwidth, 100% dedicated IPs, and instant delivery. The provider does not advertise a free trial, which is one of the more common complaints.

Where Unknown Proxies genuinely stands out is in the operational details that matter for time-sensitive use cases. The 2026 platform rebuild added a self-service dashboard with crypto payments, a Multi-Product Cart, an Upgrade Plan flow, and Intercom live chat support that operates effectively around the clock. The ISP catalog being explicitly tiered to use case is also rare — most competitors sell one undifferentiated ISP product and let the buyer guess at subnet freshness. For Event-tier customers running ticketing bots, the freshness of subnets at the moment of the drop is the entire ball game, and Unknown Proxies is one of the few providers that prices this transparently.

The ideal Unknown Proxies customer is a sneaker botter, ticketing reseller, or retail account-management operator who values per-IP ISPs on dedicated, untouched subnets and is willing to pay a premium per IP for that quality. Solo scrapers running large-volume general crawls will find better per-GB pricing at Decodo, Webshare, or even IPRoyal. Enterprises that need a managed scraping API with built-in unblocker logic should look at BrightData or Oxylabs. Unknown Proxies sits in a clear middle slot: more specialized than budget providers, more accessible than enterprise giants, and unambiguously focused on the cop and ticketing verticals.

Buyers should know the trade-offs. There is no free trial, which means you commit money before you can test on your specific target sites. The residential per-GB pricing is not the cheapest available, so customers whose primary need is high-volume residential scraping may find better value elsewhere. And while the dashboard rebuild solved most of the older usability complaints, the product depth on the residential side still trails what BrightData or Oxylabs ship in their unblocker stacks. For its target verticals, however, Unknown Proxies is one of the more credible mid-market specialists in the space.
