Quick Facts & Figures

What are Residential Proxies?

A residential proxy is an intermediary that uses an IP address provided by an Internet Service Provider (ISP), not a data center. The main benefit of residential proxies is their high anonymity level and low block-rate. Residential proxies allow you to choose a specific location (country, city, or a mobile carrier) and surf the web as a real-user in that area.

What are Fresh proxies?

With a Fresh proxy, youā€™re assigned a first time usage dedicated IP address that is not shared with anyone else. This is a huge difference compared to other providers which not only resale IPs but share them with thousands of other customers. Imagine using the same IP address which has been used and abused by other users? It just doesnā€™t work. Our fresh dedicated IPs are guaranteed free from abuse and are not shared with other users. Itā€™s 100% yours. With our Fresh plans, you receive a static IP address perfect for streaming, traveling, gaming, eCommerce store management, social media management, SEO and more.

What are Exclusive proxies?

With an Exclusive Proxy, you are assigned a dedicated IP address that is not shared with anyone else. This is a huge difference compared to other providers which share your IP address with thousands of other customers. Imagine using the same IP address which is being used and abused by other users? It just doesnā€™t work.

With our Exclusive plan, you receive a static IP address perfect for streaming, traveling, gaming, eCommerce store management, social media management, SEO and more.

What is a VPN?

A VPN (virtual private network) is the easiest and most effective way anyone can protect their internet traffic and hide their identities online. As you connect to a secure VPN server, your internet traffic goes through an encrypted tunnel that nobody can see into, including hackers, governments, and your own internet service provider. When you connect to your VPN service, you are assigned a new IP address, and your true IP address is hidden. Because this new IP address is shared by many other IPBurger users, there is no way to connect you to any activity. This helps keep you anonymous online.

What is the difference between Exclusive and Fresh?

Fresh IPs are FIRST time usage. These are newly acquired IPs that have gone through extensive quality testing and 180-days of non-usage before being allowed to be sold Fresh.Ā Our Exclusive IPs are previously used Fresh IPs which have gone though a 90-day cool down period.

Ā 

Guarantee:Ā Our Fresh IPs go through extensive testing to ensure that only the highest quality IPs are added to our network. We never resell our Fresh IPs as Fresh and we guarantee them free from abuse.

Which service is best for eCommerce shops?

Are you managing or are you creating? If you’re managing an already existing account than our Fresh or Exclusive proxies are best for that. This gives you a high speed static IP address for accessing your account. Please refer to guide on using dedicated proxies. For creating a new account Residential proxies are best for that. We recommend ISP selection and sticky IP settings for best results. Once an account is matured (after some transactions) you can switch to our dedicated IPs to manage.

Which OS and devices do you support?

We support Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android and iOS. We have Chrome and Firefox browser extensions. View our setup page to configure your device. Our proxies support HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5 protocols so most compatible software will work.

Do you monitor my activity?

We do not collect logs of your activity, including no logging of browsing history, traffic destination, data content, or DNS queries. All VPN traffic is encrypted with OpenSSL. We neither have an intention nor we give an opportunity for someone to monitor your activity online. We also never store connection logs, meaning no logs of your IP address, your outgoing VPN IP address, connection timestamp, or session duration. Our guiding principle toward data collection is to collect only the minimal data required to operate a world-class VPN service at scale. We designed our systems to not have sensitive data about our customers; even when compelled, we cannot provide data that we do not possess.

Can I stream content?

We recommend our VPN service for streaming.

Can I download torrents?

We do not allow torrenting on our Fresh or Dedicated proxies.Ā 

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept credit card, Bitcoin and PayPal.

Do you offer bulk discounts?

Yep! The more IP addresses you purchase the better discount we can offer you!

Contact support for details.

What is your refund policy?

Unfortunately due to the intangibleness of the services we provide along with the fact that we do not monitor customer activity, we do not offer refunds. However, a store credit may be issued under certain circumstances.

Can I select state or city?

Our IPs are randomly distributed based on your choice country. We do not offer state by state location selection. However this is perfectly fine for uses such as streaming, traveling, gaming, eCommerce store management, social media management, SEO and more.

Ā 

Locations include:Ā United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, FranceĀ and other locations on a case-by-case basis.`

Ā 

For platforms such as eBay, PayPal and Amazon what is most important is country origin, consistence of the IP, and IP quality. Our Exclusive and Fresh proxy plans meet these requirements and are perfect for account management.

Can I use this for my eBay or PayPal account?

Yes, however Fresh Proxies are best for managing existing and well established accounts only. They are NOT for creating accounts.

Ā 

For the best results: With any account you’d like to manage, turn on your proxy, login to your target account, view a few webpages and leave the account for 24 hours. After 24 hours login using the same IP (with of course your browser cookies intact) and continue as you normally would.

Ā 

The reason for this is when you first login to an account from an unknown IP (without history) any CHANGES you make to your account is deemed high risk. So don’t make ANY account changes the first 24 hours when first logging into your account.Ā Afterwards you are free to continue using your account as normal with your proxy.

Can I create accounts with this proxy?

If you wish to create accounts we recommend our Residential proxies which have high success for account creation.

What is a VPN?

A VPN (virtual private network) is the easiest and most effective way anyone can protect their internet traffic and hide their identity online. When you connect to a secure VPN server, your internet traffic goes through an encrypted tunnel that nobody can see into, including hackers, governments, and your own internet service provider. When you connect to a VPN, you are assigned a new IP address, and your true IP address is hidden. Because this new IP address is shared by many other IPBurger users, there is no way to connect you to any activity. This helps keep you anonymous online.

VPN vs Proxy: What's the difference?

Both VPN and proxy reroutes your internet traffic through a remote server and hides your IP address so websites canā€™t see your original IP or location. However proxies work on the application level, meaning it only reroutes the traffic coming from a single app you set up. A VPN works on the operating system level, meaning that it redirects all your traffic, whether itā€™s coming from your browser or a background app.

Ā 

A VPN also encrypts your traffic between the internet and your device. That means your Internet Service Provider (ISP) monitoring your internet activity and collecting data about you can no longer see what youā€™re doing online ā€“ just that youā€™re connected to a VPN server. The encryption also protects you from government surveillance, website tracking, and any snoopers or hackers who might try to intercept your device. A VPN provides you ultimate online privacy and security.

Will a VPN slow down my Internet?

All our VPN links are 100Mbps, which is faster than most broadband Internet links, and more than enough to access streaming services or do fast downloads. But, depending on your location, the distance between the servers and your computer, there may be a delay in the connection setup. For example it may take time to perhaps connect to a website or begin a download. Once the connection is made, the download speed won’t be affected much. If you do notice that your connection has slowed, make sure youā€™ve selected the server closest to your actual location.

VPNs are legal and used by individuals and companies around the world to protect their data from snoops and hackers. Illegal online activity remains illegal, whether you are using a VPN or not.

Why should I pay for a VPN?

Most free VPNs deliver a subpar experience, with connections bogged down by a flood of users, no customer service, no encryption, and few VPN server locations to choose from. With a paid VPN provider like IPBurger, youā€™ll enjoy connections optimized for speed, security, and stability, and youā€™ll have a choice of expanding server locations around the world. Plus you can contact our Support Team 24/7 with any questions.

What can I use VPN for?

VPN is a privacy and security tool. It’s great for unblocking geo-locked services like Netflix and Hulu, masking your IP address and increasing your online anonymity.

Ā 

Note: IPBurger VPN is not a Fresh, Dedicated or Residential proxy. Those services have their own special uses and VPN is not a replacement.
