Short answer: NanoIP sells three kinds of proxy. Residential proxies rotate through home IPs in 195+ countries and are billed by traffic, from $0.82/GB. Mobile proxies use IPs from 4G and 5G carrier networks, also billed by traffic, from $1.20/GB. ISP proxies give you one static, native IP for 30 to 360 days, from $10.20/IP for 30 days, with unlimited traffic, 20 Mbps, HTTP and SOCKS5, and UDP included.
As a rule of thumb: residential when you need many different IPs, mobile when the work depends on a carrier network, and ISP when one identity has to stay the same for weeks. All three are sold from the same NanoIP account and connect with a username and password over HTTP, HTTPS or SOCKS5.

Residential proxies
A residential proxy sends your requests through an IP address that an internet service provider assigned to a home connection, so each request comes from a household connection in the location you choose. NanoIP's residential pool has 100M+ IPs in 195+ countries.
- Location. Choose the country, and in major markets the state or city, when you generate a proxy route in the dashboard.
- Sessions. A rotating session changes the IP between requests, for large batches of independent requests. A sticky session keeps one IP for 1 to 120 minutes, long enough for a login, a multi-step form or a checkout.
- Billing. You buy a traffic package, and only the data you transfer is deducted. Larger packages cost less per GB. Packages up to 500 GB stay valid for 30 to 360 days depending on size; the 1 TB package does not expire.
- Sub-accounts and connections. NanoIP does not limit sub-accounts, even on the 1 GB package, or the number of concurrent connections.
Residential proxies suit work where each request stands on its own: web scraping and other public data collection, price monitoring, search result checks and viewing a site as it appears in another country. To try the network, start with the 1 GB package: it stays valid for 30 days and uses the same pool as the larger packages.
Mobile proxies
A mobile proxy sends your requests through an IP address that a mobile carrier assigned to a 4G or 5G device. Carriers share each address among many subscribers, and some sites and apps serve mobile networks different content from home broadband, so a mobile IP shows you what subscribers in that country actually get.
- Networks. The pool covers 4G and 5G networks in 100+ countries; you do not need to choose between them.
- Sessions. Rotating or sticky, as with residential proxies.
- Billing. Per GB, from a 1 GB package up to 5 TB. Packages up to 500 GB stay valid for 30 to 360 days; 1 TB and 5 TB do not expire.
Choose mobile proxies when the work depends on a carrier network: mobile app testing, mobile ad checks, app store listings and mobile search results. Mobile IPs cost more per GB than residential because there are fewer real devices behind them, so for general web work, residential proxies are the more economical choice.
ISP proxies
An ISP proxy is a static IP registered with an internet service provider and hosted on server infrastructure, so it stays the same for the whole plan and does not depend on a home device being online. In the NanoIP dashboard they are listed as Static Residential proxies.
Every NanoIP ISP IP is native, registered with a local ISP in the country it serves, and dedicated: only you use it during the plan, and if you renew before the plan ends, you keep the same IP. Every plan also includes:
- Unlimited traffic, with no GB allowance and no traffic charges.
- 20 Mbps per IP by default, with no throttling on top. If one IP needs more, contact support.
- HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 on the same IP, with the same username and password.
- UDP over SOCKS5 in every location, with nothing to buy or turn on, so calls, games and HTTP/3 use the same IP as the rest of the session.
- No device limit and no site blocklist.
Plans run for 30, 180 or 360 days, and longer plans cost less per day. ISP proxies are sold in 21 countries and regions, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong. Use them for account management, fingerprint browser profiles and storefronts you return to every day. The ISP proxy buying guide explains what each of these inclusions means when you compare providers.
Which NanoIP proxy should you choose?
- You need many different IPs for independent requests: residential, rotating session.
- You need one IP for a short multi-step flow, such as a login or checkout: residential, sticky session.
- The work depends on a mobile carrier network: mobile.
- You need the same IP for days or weeks, such as for an account or a fingerprint browser profile: ISP.
You can combine them, for example ISP IPs for the accounts you operate and residential traffic for collecting public data, all from the same account. Current plans for all three are on the pricing page.

gateway.nanoip.net:443with that route's username and password. - ISP: use the host, port, username and password listed with each IP under Static Proxy.
- Residential and mobile: generate a route in the dashboard, choosing the country and session type, then connect to
- Check the exit IP and its location before you start work.
The getting started guide shows each step with screenshots, and the integration tutorials cover fingerprint browsers such as AdsPower.
