Residential proxies in Japan

# HTTP (CONNECT) on port 7000
http://USERNAME-peer-jp-rot-auto10:pak_••••@gw.portproof.org:7000

# SOCKS5 with remote DNS on port 7001
socks5h://USERNAME-peer-jp-rot-auto10:pak_••••@gw.portproof.org:7001

# per-connection rotation (addresses can repeat)

# one device held for a session named "run1"

Test the proxy with curl. The check prints the exit IP, not a country; if a lookup of that address names another country, check why location lookups can disagree. For Python configuration and error handling, follow the Requests setup guide.

• A sticky session keeps the same device. The carrier may still change the IP of that device. We do not sell fixed IP addresses on this product, and the pool in Japan is shared.
• A session lifetime is set once per session name with a ttl token, from 60 to 2592000 seconds, and cannot be changed afterwards.
• Mobile traffic runs on carrier modems operated by our network partner; residential traffic runs on opt-in peer devices in the partner network.

Compare rotating and sticky sessions, including why a sticky session can change IP.

• Price and marketplace monitoring

  Read the public price a shopper in Japan is shown, quoted in JPY, together with the delivery and tax lines that come with it.

• Ad verification and brand safety

  Check how a creative and its landing page render for an audience in Japan served in Japanese, on an ordinary home connection.

• Encoding and currency QA

  Load your own Japanese pages from a Japanese address and check the script, the yen formatting and the phone layout survive the whole round trip into your own store.

• QA and geo-testing

  Load your own site from an exit in Japan with Accept-Language: ja-JP, and check the JPY price, the Japanese copy, hreflang, the payment methods offered and any redirect between store fronts.

• AI agents and data pipelines

  Give an agent or a scheduled job an egress in Japan that it selects itself by writing peer-jp into the username.

We refuse social multi-accounting, sneaker and ticket bots, betting arbitrage, sybil airdrop farming, bonus abuse, credential stuffing, and anything against the law of Japan. Acceptable-use policy · the five use cases in detail

Counts as of 2026-10-08 04:59:38Z, cached for one minute. We never list the exit IPs of a pool.

How do I get a Japan IP address?

Buy GB, then put peer-jp in the proxy username and connect to our gateway over HTTP or SOCKS5: USERNAME-peer-jp-rot-auto10. The pool is opt-in peer devices in Japan and it is shared between customers; the "IPs online now" row at the top of this page is the live count from our stock endpoint, and it is left out when the endpoint does not answer. If no device in Japan is online, the gateway answers 502 with E_NO_STOCK_COUNTRY instead of quietly sending you to another country.

What does Japan traffic cost?

The same as every other country: one price list for both pools, EUR 4.50 per GB for a small order falling to EUR 2.50 per GB at the largest step, with the live table on this page. GB never expire. What you buy stays on your balance until you use it; a new purchase adds to the same balance. You can start with 0.5 GB for EUR 2.90, or buy from 1 GB. Payments are accepted in cryptocurrency.

Can I hold the same Japan exit for a whole session?

Yes, with a session name: USERNAME-peer-jp-sid-run1-rot-sticky. The same sid returns to the same device while it is online. A sticky session keeps the same device. The carrier may still change the IP of that device. Set the lifetime once per session with a ttl token, between 60 and 2592000 seconds; it cannot be changed afterwards. Write your job so a dropped device is retried rather than treated as a failure.

What is Japan traffic good for, and what is refused?

Price and marketplace monitoring in JPY, ad verification for a Japan audience, market research and local search checks, QA and geo-testing of your own site, and country-accurate access for agents and pipelines. We refuse social multi-accounting, sneaker and ticket bots, betting arbitrage, sybil airdrop farming, bonus abuse, credential stuffing, and any use against the law of Japan. The acceptable-use policy is accepted at every checkout.
