Unknown Proxies Review 2026

Unknown Proxies is a US-based proxy provider that has built its reputation around high-quality ISP proxies and a reliable residential network. Over the past year the company has rolled out a total visual overhaul of its website and dashboard, plus several new features aimed at making day-to-day plan management easier.

The service is used by ticket brokers, retail automation users, web scrapers and social media operators. Popular target sites shown on the homepage include Foot Locker, Google, Instagram, JD, Nike and Pokémon Center.

Unknown Proxies has introduced several quality-of-life improvements that set the 2026 version apart from the older review:

• Upgrade Plan: adjust and scale your active proxy plans directly from the dashboard, without opening tickets or re-purchasing.
• Multi-Product Cart: add multiple plan types (ISP + residential) to a single cart for one unified checkout.
• Rename Plan: give each plan a custom name so it's easy to tell them apart in the dashboard.
• Crypto Payments: pay with crypto and get your plan delivered automatically once the transaction confirms.
• Total Visual Overhaul: the interface is cleaner, faster, and noticeably more modern than the previous version.

These changes reflect the provider's focus on self-service workflow and faster fulfillment, and they're a meaningful step up from what we saw in earlier reviews.

The residential network spans over 35 million IPs across 150+ countries, which gives you plenty of geo-targeting options. On the ISP side, proxies are sourced from major US carriers and run on a 100 Gbps network with sub-5 ms response times advertised.

Both HTTP and SOCKS5 protocols are supported along with IP authentication and username/password authentication, which keeps the proxies compatible with most bots, scrapers and ticketing tools. ISP plans include unlimited bandwidth and 100% dedicated IPs, and Reserve Residential v2 lets you roll over unused data indefinitely as long as the plan stays active.

Unknown Proxies splits its catalog into ISP proxies and residential proxies. The ISP side is their core business and is now organized into three tiers:

• Utility ISP Proxies - fast, reliable, affordable proxies aimed at account management, web scraping and bypassing rate limits.
• Signature ISP Proxies - higher-tier proxies for retail websites, sensitive data scraping and multi-account management.
• Event ISP Proxies - the freshest subnets, specifically optimized for ticketing sites.

All ISP tiers come with unlimited bandwidth and dedicated IPs. On the residential side, Reserve Residential v2 is the current flagship plan, giving access to 35M+ IPs with data that never expires as long as the plan is renewed. Rotating and sticky sessions are both supported.

Reserve Residential v2 starts at $7.79/GB and scales down as you buy more bandwidth. Purchased data doesn't expire, which makes the plan cost-effective for users who scrape in bursts or run seasonal campaigns.

Headline tiers:

• 2 GB - $17.49 ($8.74/GB)
• 5 GB - $41.99 ($8.39/GB)
• 10 GB - $79.99 ($7.99/GB)
• 20 GB - $157.99 ($7.89/GB)
• 50 GB - $389.99 ($7.79/GB)

The per-GB price is higher than large bandwidth-focused providers, but the trade-off is non-expiring data, a clean dashboard and a well-regarded support team.

ISP plans are priced per IP, starting at $1.13/IP on the Utility tier and climbing to $1.77/IP on the Event tier, which is aimed at ticketing.

Headline tiers:

• Utility ISP - 15 IPs at $19.99, 100 IPs at $119.99, 254 IPs at $289.99
• Signature ISP - 15 IPs at $26.99, 100 IPs at $163.99, 254 IPs at $372.99
• Event ISP - 25 IPs at $48.99, 100 IPs at $182.99, 254 IPs at $449.99

All three tiers come with unlimited bandwidth, 100% dedicated IPs and instant delivery once payment clears. For sneaker and ticket users, this is where Unknown Proxies really shines.

The new dashboard is where the 2026 rebuild is most obvious. The sidebar splits plans into ISP Plans and Residential Plans, with quick counts and a prominent New Plan button. Plans can be renamed, upgraded in place, and combined at checkout through the Multi-Product Cart.

Checkout accepts credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover), Google Pay, and crypto. Crypto orders are filled automatically once the transaction is confirmed on-chain, so there's no waiting on manual approval.

Unknown Proxies advertises a 99.9% uptime guarantee and sub-5 ms response times for its ISP proxies, running on a 100 Gbps network. In practice, the ISP tiers perform well on the ticketing and retail sites they're aimed at, and the residential network is stable enough for multi-account scraping workloads.

The service supports both HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 protocols, covering the most common integration needs for bots, scrapers and automation tools.

Support is handled through an Intercom-powered live chat widget on the website, providing real-time customer assistance for plan changes, billing questions and technical issues. The provider highlights fast response times as a core strength, and the company's own communication with us described customer service as a key differentiator.

A Contact Sales option is available from the site header, and a support email is listed under Resources in the footer alongside the refund policy and Terms of Service. The company is transitioning away from Discord-based support to Intercom for a more streamlined experience.

Yes. Unknown Proxies is a legitimate US provider with a documented track record in the ISP proxy space, an active user community on Discord, and a 4.8/5 Trustpilot rating across 60+ verified reviews at the time of writing.

Unknown Proxies has come a long way. The 2026 overhaul addresses most of the older review's complaints: the dashboard is modern and self-service, payments now include crypto, and the ISP catalog is clearly tiered so you can match quality to use case. The residential network is reliable, data doesn't expire, and customer support is responsive through Intercom live chat.

The main remaining weak spot is the lack of a free trial. For ticketing, retail copping, account management and moderate-volume scraping, however, Unknown Proxies is a solid 7.5/10 choice.
