Quick answer
AfricaProxies offers African proxies without KYC: no ID, selfie or documents to sign up, top up or buy. As of 15 October 2026, residential traffic starts at $0.50/GB. Crypto funds a prepaid balance; an account number is the login and email is optional. Save that number securely. Service rules, payment restrictions and sanctions obligations still apply.
Key facts
| Traffic | $1.23 for 1 GB; $0.50/GB at larger tiers |
|---|---|
| Account | No KYC: no ID, no selfie, no documents to sign up, top up or buy. Account-number login; email is optional |
| Payments | Crypto only, where permitted; minimum top-up $25 |
| Transport | HTTP, HTTPS (CONNECT) and SOCKS5 |
| Sessions | Sticky sessions keep the same IP for the time you set (ttl, in minutes), up to 30 minutes. The IP can change earlier, for example if the residential device goes offline. |
| Inventory | Confirm the exit country required for your project |
What should I save before funding an account?
Save the account number in a password manager before adding funds. It is the login credential, not an order reference. If several colleagues share a project, assign sub-user credentials with traffic caps rather than circulating the main account number. An optional recovery email is useful if losing access would interrupt scheduled checks.
Can a public transaction ID recover a lost account?
No. A blockchain transaction ID is public evidence of a transfer, not proof that the person requesting recovery owns the account. Your account number is your login: save it somewhere safe. Add an email (optional) if you want a way to recover it. Without an email, a lost account number cannot be recovered. Never send passwords, gateway credentials or API keys in a support ticket.
What information still exists on an account?
No identity upload does not mean that billing and connection records disappear. We do not log the content of your requests, full URLs or page data. To handle abuse reports and billing disputes, we keep connection metadata (time, account, exit IP, target hostname, bytes) for up to 30 days, then delete it. We keep your account number, orders, top-up records and traffic totals while your account is open, and afterwards only as long as accounting rules require. We disclose records to authorities only when the law requires it. Our upstream network provider may keep its own logs under its own policy. The privacy policy explains the purposes and retention periods. Separate account access, billing and proxy traffic when assessing a project’s information handling.
Which restrictions still apply to an African research project?
The acceptable-use policy applies to every account. Check the destination’s terms and collect only information you have permission to access. Buyers must also obey their own jurisdiction’s crypto payment rules; an exit in a different country changes neither that duty nor any sanctions obligation.
Frequently asked questions
Do you ask for ID during sign-up?
No KYC: no ID, no selfie, no documents to sign up, top up or buy. The document policy applies when opening the account, funding its balance and purchasing a plan. For an African research or QA project, save the account number securely and obtain authority for the targets you will test; the absence of an ID upload does not grant that authority.
Is email required?
No. Email is optional, while the account number is the login you must keep safe. Adding an email provides the supported recovery route. For separate Nigerian or Kenyan client projects, use their proxy credentials in tools; do not distribute the account number as a shared project password.
What does a small residential test cost?
The 1 GB test costs $1.23, paid from a prepaid balance topped up by at least $25. The package price and deposit minimum are separate amounts. Choose the African country required by your brief, verify the returned exit, and monitor measured usage while evaluating the route.
Are crypto transactions private account passwords?
No. A crypto transaction is a payment record rather than an account password. Its public transaction ID can help reconcile a missing credit, but it cannot establish ownership of the account. Save the account number separately and never put wallet secrets into a Nigerian or South African project report.
Are banking sites permitted?
No. Banking, government and payment portals are blocked, as are SMTP email-sending ports. Define an African business check around an authorised target before configuring the proxy. For financial interface QA, use your own approved sandbox or mocked screens, and review the use rules with the project team.
Where can I check the local payment rules?
The African rules matrix links to dated country sources and marks evidence gaps. Check the entry relevant to your operating jurisdiction, alongside any obligations affecting the project or payment. An accepted crypto network does not provide permission to transact, and the matrix is research rather than legal advice.
