Real home IPs

South Africa residential proxies

South African residential proxies are real IP addresses from South African households, assigned by consumer ISPs such as Telkom, Vox Telecom, Webafrica and Metrofibre Networx. They let you browse, scrape and verify South African storefronts, pricing and content as a genuine in-country user — across Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban and Pretoria — instead of from a datacenter IP that Takealot, Checkers and local geo-gates flag and block on sight.

South Africa residential proxies, at a glance

Why teams pick our South African pool

Real residential IPs, precise targeting, and quality you don't have to take on faith.

Real residential IPs

Genuine home connections from South African consumer ISPs — not datacenter ranges that get blocked on sight.

City & ISP targeting

Target individual cities and carriers where pool depth allows — down to the provider.

Rotating or sticky

Per-request rotation for scale, or sticky sessions up to ~72h for multi-step flows.

HTTP & SOCKS5

Works with any client, scraper or automation stack out of the box.

Ethically sourced

IPs from an opt-in residential network — real users who consented to share bandwidth.

Verified clean, monthly

We re-measure the pool every month and publish the numbers, so they stay current.

Quality you can verify

Every month we run the same benchmark — a random sample of IPs scored against Scamalytics, latency tested from a neutral VPS, and geo-accuracy checked across independent databases. The figures below reflect production, not a best-case lab run.

Measured on 100,000 addresses from a neutral VPS against Cloudflare's edge, accurate as of the last benchmark. A repeat run may differ by a small margin, but the figures fully reflect the order of magnitude and are a sound basis for judging whether the pool fits your use case. Per-target scraping success isn't published — it depends on your fingerprint and setup, not just the IP.

benchmark.py — open pool benchmark

The open benchmark behind the numbers above. It takes a random sample of pool IPs and measures four things — cleanliness (Scamalytics fraud-risk, datacenter, blacklist and geo-accuracy), latency (Cloudflare edge and ip-api round-trip), rotation (unique IPs, ASNs and /24 subnets) and throughput (download speed and time-to-first-byte) — then reports each one. It is published in full so the methodology behind every figure stays open to inspection.

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

"""
JETPROXY — POOL BENCHMARK

End-to-end audit of a residential proxy pool. A single run measures cleanliness,
latency, rotation and throughput, then prints every metric as one list.

  Cleanliness   fraud-risk, datacenter, blacklist and geo-accuracy (Scamalytics)
  Latency       Cloudflare edge (responsiveness) and ip-api origin (round-trip)
  Rotation      unique IPs / ASNs / subnets, success rate, country match
  Throughput    median & p95 download speed, time-to-first-byte, drop rate

Every stage size is a parameter, so the same script runs a quick check or a deep
audit:

    python benchmark.py --country ID
    python benchmark.py --quality 200 --downloads 50 --latency 1000 --rotation 5000 --country ID
    python benchmark.py --proxies proxies.txt --country ID --json result.json

Proxies   paste at the prompt (one per line) or pass --proxies FILE.
          host:port:user:pass  ·  host:port  ·  user:pass@host:port
The Scamalytics key for the cleanliness stage is read from the environment or
../.env (SCAMALYTICS_USER + SCAMALYTICS_KEY); without it that stage is skipped.

Questions buyers actually ask

Still weighing whether the South African pool fits your use case? Our team answers real questions on Telegram, around the clock — before and after you buy.

Chat on Telegram

Will these work for scraping Takealot and Makro?

That's the primary use case. The pool is genuine residential — the property local marketplace anti-bot systems look for — so these IPs pass where datacenter ranges get blocked. Outcomes still depend on your fingerprint, headers and request pacing, so pair the proxy with a clean setup and a matching South African timezone (SAST).

Can I target a specific city like Cape Town or Johannesburg?

Yes, where pool depth allows — choose the city when you generate the proxy list. Our coverage tables show live concurrency for Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban, Pretoria and more, so you can see which cities carry the deepest rotation before you commit.

Do the IPs geolocate inside South Africa?

Yes — the pool resolves to South Africa with 99.98% geo-accuracy against Cloudflare and across independent geo-databases in our last benchmark, with exit nodes confirmed in Johannesburg (JNB), Cape Town (CPT) and Durban (DUR). High geo-accuracy is the underlying signal South African geo-gates rely on.

Can I hold one South African IP for a multi-step flow?

Yes. Use a sticky session to keep the same South African exit IP — average hold is around 4.3 hours and up to 72 hours in our 3-day measurement. For scale, rotate per request: the exit IP changes in roughly 97% of requests, usually down to a different provider, not just a neighbouring address.

Which South African carriers and cities are covered?

The pool spans 14 South African ISPs led by Telkom, Vox Telecom, Webafrica, Metrofibre Networx, MTN and Cipherwave, across 9 provinces and 25 cities — from the Western Cape (Cape Town, Worcester) to Gauteng (Johannesburg, Pretoria, Centurion), KwaZulu-Natal (Durban) and the Eastern Cape (Port Elizabeth).
