# Africa proxy acceptable use > Africa proxy acceptable use for business price checks and application tests. No KYC, crypto-funded residential traffic from $0.50/GB; clear boundaries. - URL: https://africaproxies.com/acceptable-use/ - Last updated: 2026-10-15 - Publisher: AfricaProxies (https://africaproxies.com) Use African exits for authorised commercial checks, with a defined purpose and respect for the target's access rules. **Quick answer — What is permitted under the Africa proxy acceptable use policy?** AfricaProxies permits African proxy work for lawful business research, authorised application testing and public price or landing-page checks where access is allowed. Residential traffic starts at $0.50/GB as of October 2026; no KYC and crypto payment do not change your responsibilities. This Africa proxy acceptable use policy applies to every account, staff member, script and client project using your access. ## Rules a project must follow | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Purpose | Authorised business research, QA and public checks | | Purchase policy | No KYC: no ID, no selfie, no documents to sign up, top up or buy. | | Payments | BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC | | Residential rate | From $0.50/GB | | Restricted targets | Banking, government and payment-portal sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587 | | Abuse reports | abuse@africaproxies.com | | Contract | [Terms of service](/terms/) | ## Which African business projects are acceptable? Acceptable projects include checking public offers for a market study, reviewing a campaign's own landing page, testing your own checkout presentation without placing false orders, and checking a brand's public listings. A comparison should use matching product variants and delivery settings; a QA run should use accounts and environments you are authorised to test. Public visibility is not blanket permission for automated collection. Follow the target's terms, robots rules and published rate limits. When a marketplace or platform directs automated access to an API, export or licensed data service, use that route. Stop on an access refusal instead of switching exits to keep the same prohibited job running. ## Which conduct is prohibited? Fraud, theft, unauthorised account access, credential guessing, malware, phishing, spam, denial-of-service traffic and attempts to defeat banking or payment security controls are prohibited. The service must not be used to make false advertising clicks, inflate impressions, manufacture engagement, exploit promotions or create deceptive accounts. Do not access private data without authority, test a third party's systems without permission, or use a proxy to continue a task the target has refused. This applies equally to a local market study in Lagos and a multi-country agency workflow. A legitimate business label does not make prohibited behaviour acceptable. ## How should price and advertising checks be run? Keep price checks limited to permitted public resources and collect only the fields needed for the study. Retain the product identifier, market settings and timestamp with each observation. Do not place test orders on a merchant's production service without permission. For advertising, begin with the platform's official preview tools and the advertiser's own destination page. Do not repeatedly search for, load or click live paid ads to generate observations. Where an authorised page check still creates traffic, count and document that activity rather than claiming the test creates no impressions. ## Which legal and account responsibilities apply? You are responsible for the law and permissions relevant to your organisation, the location from which you operate and the data you collect. The [country research](/data/crypto-and-proxy-legality-africa/) is a dated resource for that review, not approval for a transaction or a legal opinion. Do not pay in crypto where that payment is prohibited for you. We may refuse or suspend service in case of abuse, fraud or a legal obligation. The service is not available in countries and regions under comprehensive sanctions. Keep credentials private and supervise staff, contractors and software using them. Dedicated port access must not be resold or shared with third parties. ## Acceptable use questions ### May I compare public African marketplace prices? Yes, where the marketplace allows the access method you propose. Keep the collection limited, respect target rules, and stop when access is refused. Record currency, delivery region, seller and product variant; otherwise two observed prices may describe different offers and cannot support a reliable comparison. ### Can I test an application my company owns? Yes. Use your own test accounts, an authorised environment and a written scope. African exits can help inspect country presentation, language and content delivery. They do not reproduce every feature of a local user's device or grant authority to test unrelated third-party infrastructure. ### Can I verify a campaign by clicking its live ads? Do not generate artificial clicks or impressions. Start with official platform previews and an authorised landing-page check. Plan a small, documented QA run and distinguish the ad platform's delivery decision from what the destination page shows. Repeated live-ad loading is not an acceptable monitoring shortcut. ### What if the target rate-limits my script? Stop or reduce the job as required by the target. Changing exit addresses to continue a refused collection breaches this policy. Review the target's official API or authorised data access route, and fix your collection plan before making another request. ### Does no KYC remove compliance checks? No. No KYC: no ID, no selfie, no documents to sign up, top up or buy. The account policy does not remove applicable law, sanctions duties or the target's access conditions. You must also check whether crypto payment is permitted where you operate. We may refuse or suspend service for abuse, fraud or a legal obligation. ### What happens after an abuse report? The service can investigate relevant connection evidence, restrict use, suspend access or close an account according to the terms. Report observed behaviour to abuse@africaproxies.com with precise timing and redacted evidence. No fixed investigation outcome or response time is promised on this page. --- AfricaProxies: AfricaProxies is a residential proxy provider for sub-Saharan Africa, paid in crypto with no ID upload.
