| Free tier | No free tier stated on the plan pages. The home page lists residential from $0.33/GB, mobile from $1.61/GB, unlimited residential from $7.91/hour, datacenter from $0.6/IP and static residential from $1/IP, and offers a free web-proxy page. unit none; metered on none; A second landing page lists different from-prices (residential $0.35/GB, mobile $3.2/GB, datacenter $1/IP, static $1.9/IP), so the from-prices vary by page. |

The pool figure (90M+ residential IPs, 190+ countries) is a vendor claim. The pool is described as 'sourced from carefully selected partners', so supply comes from third-party partners, not from the vendor's own networks. |
| Binding | volume-quota Residential traffic is metered per GB; the static line is per IP with unlimited traffic. |
| Identity | email The login page says 'Unverified emails will be auto-registered upon verification', with Google sign-in as an alternative, so an email and its verification code open the account; no phone, card or identity document is asked at that step. Payment methods are shown as icons and were not readable. |
| Egress | Residential is per GB ('Never Expires' on the home-page tile); static residential is 'Per-IP pricing, no traffic fees'. free allowance: none stated |
| Per-object cap | not applicable: an address or a traffic quota, not an object |
| Retention | not applicable: a proxy session or a rented address, not stored bytes |
| Interface | rest HTTP(S) and SOCKS5; API and username and password extraction; targeting by country, city, state, zip code, coordinates and ASN on the residential line. |
| Tooling | Any client that speaks an HTTP(S) or SOCKS5 proxy with a username and password or an allowlisted source address: curl -x, python requests, rclone --socks5, or a host-side hop for a runtime that cannot dial a proxy itself. |
| Composes with | A host-side hop dials the vendor's HTTP(S) or SOCKS5 endpoint with credentials; the upstream sees an address from the vendor's pool in place of the caller's address. |
| Reliability | /pricing answers a bot challenge to a page reader and /register returns no content; the static price page is readable through a second reader. unverified: the registration class of the exits (rung 5): no address was looked up. |
| Notes | Named on a Chinese-language proxy forum as 'IPStar 海外住宅IP代理' with '$0.33/GB' and a referral link. |
| Evidence note | documented Prices and the sign-up behaviour are from the vendor's pages; the pool and ISP labels are vendor claims. |
