How to Buy and Keep a Long-Term Residential or Mobile IP (IP Vault)

IP Vault setup in four steps

IP Vault keeps a specific residential or mobile IP for you at a price per IP, from $0.20. It is different from rotating proxies, which give you a new address on every request, and from 24-hour IPs, which end after a day.

1. Open IP Vault in the dashboard and choose residential or mobile.
2. Pick the IP you want. Choose from the list of addresses by location, then buy it.
3. Check the bandwidth. Each IP adds a data allowance to your shared vault pool, and you can buy more bandwidth when it runs low.
4. Connect. Copy the connection details from the My-IP tab into your tool and test the address.

Test and keep your IP

Use the details shown for your IP and make a request to read back the exit address:

curl -x socks5h://USER:PASS@HOST:PORT https://api.ipify.org

The same address should come back each time. IP Vault addresses support UDP over SOCKS5 as well as TCP. A residential IP stays online only while the device behind it does, so an address can go offline for a while and return.

If an IP goes offline

If an IP you rely on stays offline, tap Free change IP on the My-IP tab to swap it for another one in the same state at no charge. In October 2026 a fault on our side made more addresses look offline than usual; it was fixed, as described in the IP Vault news post.

Which long-term option fits

Need a residential IP for one day only? Use a 24-hour IP. Need a home-ISP address rented for weeks or months? See static ISP proxies. For a fixed datacenter address, see static IP proxies.

Tips for using an IP Vault address

Treat the address as a long-term identity: always connect to the same service from the same IP so it stays consistent. Watch the shared bandwidth pool and top it up before it runs out. Keep the connection details from the My-IP tab in a password manager. IP Vault purchases are not refundable, so start with a single IP to confirm it works for your use before you buy several. Use addresses for lawful work only; see the acceptable use policy.
