Is this the right product for you?
Choose shared for development, staging, QA, geo-checks and moderate crawls of tolerant targets, where an occasional retry is acceptable. You share each address, and its reputation, with up to four other customers; they do not get access to your traffic or credentials. Choose dedicated when you need one customer per IP: it separates your current use from other tenants, though the address can still have a history with a target. Targets that refuse hosting ranges need residential instead.
What you get
- Addresses on IP blocks we own
- These exits run on datacenter ranges Node4 owns and announces in the United States, Italy and Spain. Nothing swaps ranges in and out underneath the pool, because the pool is ours.
- Both protocols, no upcharge
- HTTP(S) / SOCKS5 on every tier of this product, on one credential, at no extra charge.
Connection details
Datacenter blocks we own and announce, allocated at up to 5 users per address.

console.log(await res.text());How shared proxies work
Shared proxies are static addresses, delivered like the dedicated tier: your allocation appears on the dashboard's Proxies page as a list of IPs with their ports, you connect directly to each address, and traffic leaves from the address you connected to. There is no gateway and no rotation; what you buy is a fixed list. The difference is allocation: each address is assigned to at most 5 customers instead of one, and that cap is applied when addresses are handed out. Other customers do not get access to your traffic or credentials, which are checked on every connection.
- 3 GB per proxy, pooled across your order
- HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 on one credential
- Username/password or IP whitelist authentication
- Provisioned from the dashboard once payment settles
Pooled bandwidth, with an example
The allowance is 3 GB per proxy, pooled across your order, so an order of 100 proxies shares 300 GB for the month and a busy address is covered by a quiet one. Run low and you can add bandwidth to the pool at any time from your dashboard, without changing plan. Nothing is billed for overage you did not ask for: access pauses at the cap until you top up or the period renews, unless you have switched auto top-up on. If bandwidth rather than address count is what you are buying, look at dedicated, which has unlimited bandwidth per proxy, or rotating, which is sold by the gigabyte.
Shared IP reputation
What you share is the address's history with destination sites, not your traffic. A target one of your neighbors has annoyed may rate-limit or challenge the shared address before you send it a request, and you will not know which addresses carry history until you use them. The mitigations are mechanical: spread work across your allocation, retry a failing request from a different address, and keep per-address request rates modest so that you are not the neighbor causing the problem. The occupancy cap keeps contention rare on tolerant targets. When the same target keeps failing across several of your addresses, the workload has outgrown shared: move that target to a dedicated address, where you are the only current customer on the IP (it can still carry earlier history), or to residential if it refuses hosting ranges altogether.
IP blocks we own
These are not a rented pool. They are datacenter blocks allocated to Node4 and announced by Node4, run at a higher occupancy per address than the dedicated tier. Run whois on any address we hand you to check.
From free to paid
Eligible accounts get a small allocation of shared datacenter proxies with no card required, so you can put real datacenter addresses in front of your target before spending anything. Use it to test the one thing that differs by target: whether datacenter ranges are accepted at all. If the free addresses are refused outright, no shared or dedicated plan will change that, and residential is the product to test. If they are accepted, start with the smallest shared plan and scale, moving specific hostile targets to dedicated addresses as needed.

What people use these for
Development and staging
A test suite that hits an API does not need an exclusive address. Shared gives you the same connection behavior at a fraction of the dedicated price.
Moderate-volume scraping
For tolerant targets where an occasional retry is acceptable, occupancy of up to 5 is usually not the limiting factor.
Geo-checking and QA
Verify that a site renders correctly from a different network without provisioning dedicated addresses for it.
Learning and prototyping
Start on the free allocation, then scale into a paid plan when the workload earns it.
Frequently asked questions
How many people share each IP?
Up to five. The cap is applied when addresses are allocated, so it is a published number you can hold us to. Other customers on the address do not get access to your traffic or credentials.
Can other users see my traffic?
No. Sharing an exit address does not expose traffic between users. What is shared is the address's reputation with destination sites.
What locations are available?
The United States, Italy, Spain, or an even split between Italy and Spain, chosen at checkout. The United States is the default; Italian and Spanish stock is limited. For other markets, the residential product covers 170+ countries.
Is bandwidth limited?
Yes. The allowance is 3 GB per proxy, pooled across your order, so 100 proxies share 300 GB and a busy address is covered by a quiet one. Run low and you can add bandwidth to the pool at any time from your dashboard, without changing plan. If bandwidth rather than address count is what you need, dedicated proxies have unlimited bandwidth per IP and rotating is sold by the gigabyte.
Do you offer free proxies?
Yes. Eligible accounts get a small free allocation, with no card required.
Can I use IP whitelisting instead of a password?
Yes. IP whitelisting is available on every product: register your server's public address and connect with no credentials, or use username and password when your source IP moves. One credential works on every product your account holds a plan for.
Do shared proxies rotate?
No. These are static addresses: the list you are allocated is the list you have, and each request leaves from whichever of your addresses you connect to. Rotating client-side, iterating over your own list, is often sensible; if you want rotation as a service, with one endpoint and selection handled behind it, that is the rotating product, on the same owned blocks.
What if a website blocked my shared IP before I ever used it?
It can happen: a neighbor may have used the address against that target before you, and blocks are per target, so an address can pass an IP checker and still fail on one site. Retry from another address in your allocation first, and keep per-address request rates modest. Shared Datacenter plans include no IP replacements, so if particular addresses stay dead for one target, move that target to dedicated, whose plans can include a monthly replacement allowance. If the pattern repeats across your whole allocation on one target, the target is classifying the range or the sharing itself, and dedicated or residential is the answer.
Can I mix shared and dedicated proxies in one account?
Yes, and it is a sensible pattern. Both are static products with the same ports, protocols and credentials, so a client that works against one works against the other unchanged. Run bulk, tolerant work on shared, put the targets that punish shared history on dedicated addresses, and the only thing that changes in your code is the IP list.
Are shared proxies suitable for sneaker sites, ticketing or social platforms?
No. Those targets combine aggressive hosting-range classification with per-address history scoring, which hits shared datacenter proxies on both counts. Residential is the product in our catalog with a realistic footing there, and even residential is refused sometimes. Shared belongs on tolerant targets (development, QA, monitoring, moderate-volume scraping), where its price is the point.
Will other users slow my proxies down?
Contention is possible in principle, since you share a machine's egress address with up to four other customers, and the occupancy cap exists to keep it rare. In practice the difference you are most likely to notice against dedicated is not speed but the occasional target-side challenge inherited from a neighbor, which is a retry rather than an outage. If your workload cannot tolerate that, dedicated is the right tier.
