About 9Proxy Residential IP Keys
9Proxy Residential IP Keys use 9Proxy’s app-based, pay-per-IP model. Unlike its GB product, this option requires the 9Proxy desktop application. An IP is consumed when it is forwarded to a local port, while unused IP balance remains available in the provider account.
Available bundles: 50 CDK, 100 CDK, 200 CDK, 500 CDK, 1000 CDK.
Key Features
- Pay by activated IP rather than transferred traffic
- Desktop app for Windows, macOS, and Linux
- Country, state, city, ZIP code, and ISP filters
- Local port forwarding with auto-refresh and scheduled rotation controls

Frequently Asked Questions
Does 9Proxy IP require the desktop app?
Yes. The provider’s IP-based workflow uses its desktop app and local port forwarding.
When is an IP deducted?
9Proxy states that an IP is deducted when it is forwarded to a local port, not while it remains unused in the balance.
How long does one IP stay online?
Residential uptime varies naturally. 9Proxy documents anything from several hours to about 24 hours and provides refresh controls for offline IPs.
