Frequently asked questions

Companies use South African IPs to see websites, search results, ads and prices the way people in South Africa see them. Sites there show content in English, and prices show in South African Rand (ZAR). Some of the most popular online stores in South Africa are takealot.com and shein.com. Companies also use South African IPs to check how their own listings, ads and prices appear to local shoppers there. Common uses for South African IPs include SEO monitoring, price monitoring and ad verification.

Johannesburg, Cape Town and Pretoria hold 81% of our South African IPs together. We also have IPs in Durban and Port Elizabeth. You can target a specific city, along with country, region, ISP or mobile carrier, and ASN.

Rain, MTN SA Mobile and Vodacom carry 65% of our South African IPs together. Rain runs both a mobile network and fixed broadband.

The Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA) applies in South Africa. The Information Regulator enforces it. You can read more in DLA Piper's data protection overview for South Africa. This is general information, not legal advice. Check with a lawyer for your use case.

Our South African proxies accept HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 connections, like all our residential and mobile proxies.

We offer mobile proxies in South Africa as part of Proxy Mesh, alongside residential proxies. They route traffic through real mobile carrier connections on 3G, 4G and 5G networks. Rain runs a mobile network in our South African data. Mobile costs the same as residential in South Africa, on the same credits with no price difference.

We offer residential and mobile proxies in South Africa, and together they're called Proxy Mesh. Residential IPs come from home ISP connections and mobile IPs come from mobile carrier connections. We don't sell datacenter or ISP proxies. Rain runs a mobile network in our South African data.

We don't give away free South African proxies. Public free proxy lists are run by unknown operators, and you can't see who handles your traffic or how the IPs were sourced. You can create an account for free. Sandbox has no subscription fee and includes no credits, so it only sends traffic after you buy top-up credits. Plans are on our pricing page.
