Residential proxies in Taiwan
A home connection in Taiwan lets you test traditional Chinese and TWD pricing. The destination can choose a different language or currency, so inspect the response rather than assuming the exit selected them. Traditional and simplified characters are two different sets: a text comparison that normalises between them, or a font stack that silently substitutes, turns a real content difference into a match and a match into a difference. Send Accept-Language: zh-TW rather than a bare zh, confirm your client reads UTF-8 from the socket through to the database, and store the bytes you received alongside anything you normalised. TWD figures are usually written as whole numbers, so a formatter that pads to two decimal places or divides by a hundred produces nonsense that still looks like a price; validate the currency before you format. Sites here also commonly offer a language switch that is remembered in a cookie rather than in the URL, so a run that carries a cookie jar between requests can drift into a language you did not ask for: start each run clean. We run only the residential pool in Taiwan, with the token peer-tw.

Connect
How to connect to Taiwan residential proxies.
Pool and country are the second and third parts of the proxy username. Nothing else changes: the same credential, the same two ports, the same gateway.
# HTTP (CONNECT) on port 7000
http://USERNAME-peer-tw-rot-auto10:pak_••••@gw.portproof.org:7000
# SOCKS5 with remote DNS on port 7001
socks5h://USERNAME-peer-tw-rot-auto10:pak_••••@gw.portproof.org:7001
# per-connection rotation (addresses can repeat)
USERNAME-peer-tw-rot-ondemand
# one device held for a session named "run1"
USERNAME-peer-tw-sid-run1-rot-stickyUSERNAME is the account part of your username and pak_•••• stands for your password; both appear in the dashboard after your first purchase. The token peer-tw is what sends the request out of Taiwan.
# Replace USERNAME with your account part; curl prompts for the proxy password.
# The echo endpoint reports the exit IP; it does not report a country.
curl --disable --silent --show-error --noproxy '' --connect-timeout 5 --max-time 15 \
--proxy "http://gw.portproof.org:7000" --proxy-user "USERNAME-peer-tw-rot-auto10" \
"https://api.portproof.org/v1/echo-ip"
# SOCKS5 with remote DNS
curl --disable --silent --show-error --noproxy '' --connect-timeout 5 --max-time 15 \
--proxy "socks5h://gw.portproof.org:7001" --proxy-user "USERNAME-peer-tw-rot-auto10" \
"https://api.portproof.org/v1/echo-ip"
# A language preference; replace example.com with a page you have permission to test.
curl --disable --silent --show-error --noproxy '' --connect-timeout 5 --max-time 15 \
--proxy "http://gw.portproof.org:7000" --proxy-user "USERNAME-peer-tw-rot-ondemand" \
-H "Accept-Language: zh-TW" "https://example.com/"Run each command interactively and enter the password at curl's prompt. Accept-Language: zh-TW expresses a preference; it does not force the response language. The site may use its URL, cookies, account and location signals to choose language, currency or market. The echo returns the exit IP only, not a country. A separate geolocation lookup is one database's opinion and may differ from the destination's.

STICKY = proxy_url("USERNAME-peer-tw-sid-run1-rot-sticky")Replace USERNAME with your account part. The password comes from the environment or a hidden prompt; do not print the resulting proxy URLs. This explicit Session ignores inherited proxy settings and does not follow redirects. The timeout bounds connection setup and read inactivity, not the total job. HTTP gateway authentication is not encrypted on the client-to-proxy hop, even for an HTTPS destination. A sticky session keeps the same device; its IP can still change.

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.
Rotation and sessions
Rotating and sticky Taiwan exits.
| Mode | Token | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Per-connection rotationThe gateway selects an exit for each connection. Addresses can repeat; use this mode when no continuing proxy session is needed. | rot-ondemand | The gateway selects an exit for each connection. Addresses can repeat; use this mode when no continuing proxy session is needed. |
| Timed rotation: 5, 10, 20 or 60 minutesThe exit changes on a clock rather than per request. auto10 is the default when no rot token is given. | rot-auto5 · auto10 · auto20 · auto60 | The exit changes on a clock rather than per request. auto10 is the default when no rot token is given. |
| Sticky sessionThe same session name 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. | sid-<name> + rot-sticky | The same session name 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. |
- 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 Taiwan 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.

Prices per GB in EUR, by the size of one order. VAT not applicable: the seller is not registered for VAT. Taiwan costs the same as every other country, on either pool. GB never expire. Pricing in full
Try Taiwan first
0.5 GB for EUR 2.90, once per customer, usable on either pool and the countries available when you test. Full orders start at 1 GB and the price per GB falls to EUR 2.50 at the largest step.
Watch out in Taiwan
What breaks here is script normalisation. Converting traditional characters to simplified, or letting a font substitute quietly, makes two different pages compare as identical and hides the change you were looking for. Compare the bytes you received, and keep the original beside anything you rewrote.

Questions
Taiwan residential proxies: short answers.
- How do I get a Taiwan IP address?
- Buy GB, then put peer-tw in the proxy username and connect to our gateway over HTTP or SOCKS5: USERNAME-peer-tw-rot-auto10. The pool is opt-in peer devices in Taiwan 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 Taiwan is online, the gateway answers 502 with E_NO_STOCK_COUNTRY instead of quietly sending you to another country.
- What does Taiwan 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 Taiwan exit for a whole session?
- Yes, with a session name: USERNAME-peer-tw-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 Taiwan traffic good for, and what is refused?
- Price and marketplace monitoring in TWD, ad verification for a Taiwan 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 Taiwan. The acceptable-use policy is accepted at every checkout.
