IPRoyal

IPRoyal is a Lithuanian proxy provider founded in late 2020 that initially focused on renting IP space to other companies before shifting to selling proxies directly to customers. The provider offers four different proxy networks: datacenter proxies with over 60 locations in dedicated lists, ISP proxies in the same format across 30+ countries, residential proxies with global coverage, and mobile proxies based on dedicated dongles available in 15+ countries. IPRoyal runs its own residential proxy pool via a bandwidth-sharing app called Pawns, growing the network to several million IPs and claiming ethical sourcing. The provider also offers a Proxy API for general unblocking (beta) and supporting tools including a proxy checker and browser extension. IPRoyal started as one of the most affordable services but has moved closer to mid-range pricing after a 2022 price hike, starting at $1.53. The provider offers 24/7 support via live chat, email, and Discord, with comprehensive documentation including quick-start guides, YouTube channel, help center, and documentation hub. IPRoyal provides API endpoints for each proxy type and a fully-featured dashboard available in English and Chinese with dark theme support. The provider targets small to mid-scale users with flexible IP rotation settings and non-expiring traffic, though the residential proxy pool remains relatively small compared to premium providers.
