One fixed address for your Perplexity account and your API server — and the country parameter for everything regional.
Live
Every hour we open Perplexity through Proxy302 residential IPs in several countries. These are the latest checks.
Loading the latest checks…
Only the first three octets of each IP are shown. Checked on dynamic residential IPs through the public Proxy302 entry.
Perplexity is a US service, and its terms put the responsibility on you: people who use it from outside the United States do so on their own initiative and must follow local law. The consumer service is for personal, non-commercial use, and the terms ban bots, scrapers and other automatic tools — programmatic work belongs on the API.
In mainland China the app needs a cross-border route first: GreatFire has recorded interference with www.perplexity.ai since January 2023, and its recent tests show the site blocked.
On the API side, Perplexity's official SDKs accept an HTTP proxy with username and password, or a SOCKS proxy, and the Search API takes a country code for regional results — you don't need an exit in every country to localise API searches. A static ISP IP is for the parts that need one fixed, known address: your signed-in account and the server that calls the API.

| Item | Choose | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Product | Static ISP proxy | Your account and API traffic leave from one known address |
| Billing | Per IP and term, 1 month | Per-GB static lines don't promise the same IP long term |
| How many IPs | One per person, one per API server | Accounts and servers don't share an exit |
| Country | The US (preset) or one country you'll keep | For regional API results, use the country parameter instead |
| Protocol | HTTP (preset) | Works in the extension and the SDK; the SDK also accepts SOCKS5 |
| IP changes | Never during the term | Renew in My assets; renewing normally keeps the same IP, but a residential IP may move to another IP in the same country — then update your proxy settings |
The Configure button at the top of this page opens the console's Perplexity proxy preset with these settings filled in. Every setting stays editable.

| Item | Static ISP | Rotating residential | Datacenter |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you get | A fixed IP registered to an internet provider, the same for the whole term | Real household IPs that rotate per request or hold a sticky session | Fast fixed server IPs |
| Price | Per IP and term — live price at checkout | From US$1.50/GB; US$1.35/GB at 100 GB | Per IP — the lowest cost per IP |
| Best for Perplexity | The Perplexity app and API from one fixed address | Not for your account; for regional API results use the country parameter | API calls from servers where speed matters more than a residential address |
Prices in US dollars; the wallet uses PTC at 1 PTC = US$1. Top up, then buy the line you need. Auto-renew is on by default at checkout and can be unticked: turn it off or on per IP in My assets, or renew the IP by hand before the term ends; renewing normally keeps the same IP.
The Configure button opens Perplexity proxy in the console: Billing is Per IP and term, Use case is AI subscriptions, Perplexity is selected under Choose a platform and Protocol is HTTP. Check Region (United States by default), set Term to 1 month, set Quantity to the number of IPs you need (one for each person and API server, up to 100 at a time), then click Review cost and generate.
Expected result The IP appears in My assets; Copy all copies host, port, username and password.
Install the Proxy302 browser extension (Downloads and setup at the bottom of /guides) and press Sign in. In My assets, click Use extension on this IP's row, then press Connect in the extension. Confirm the country on ipinfo.io, then open perplexity.ai.
Before continuing If your network can't reach the proxy directly, open Proxy302 Fast Connect (Tools & checks page) and click 「一键加速」 (One-click boost) first and tick Use Fast Connect (Use Helper tools in older extension versions) in the extension.
Install the SDK with pip install perplexityai, set PERPLEXITY_API_KEY and pass the proxy through http_client as in the example below. Run one search before you start a batch.
For results from a given country, set the Search API's country parameter (US, GB, DE, JP and so on). Keep the proxy for a fixed source address.

from perplexity import Perplexity, DefaultHttpxClient
# Reads PERPLEXITY_API_KEY from the environment.
client = Perplexity(
http_client=DefaultHttpxClient(
proxy="http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT", # your static ISP IP
)
)
search = client.search.create(query="static ISP proxy", country="US", max_results=5)
for result in search.results:
print(f"{result.title}: {result.url}")Based on Perplexity's SDK configuration docs: http_client takes an HTTP proxy URL with username and password, or a SOCKS proxy URL. The country argument localises Search API results, so you don't need an exit in each country for that.
Check Does the live panel on this page show recent successful checks from your exit country, and is the extension on in this browser?
Fix If the panel shows successes, the problem is local: turn the proxy on for this browser and keep only one VPN or proxy layer.
Check Is the proxy URL in http_client, with http://, the right port and the credentials?
Fix Copy the details again from My assets and test with a single search.
Check Did you set the country parameter on the search?
Fix Set country to the ISO code you need; that's how the Search API localises results.
Check Do you switch between this IP, a VPN and your own connection?
Fix Keep the account on one static IP.
Not directly: GreatFire has recorded interference with www.perplexity.ai since January 2023 and its recent tests show it blocked, so you need a cross-border route. Perplexity's terms also say use outside the US is at your own initiative and subject to local law.
Yes. Perplexity's SDK docs show how to pass an HTTP proxy with username and password, or a SOCKS proxy, through http_client.
Not for the API: the Search API takes a country parameter. A proxy gives you a fixed source address, not localisation.
No. Perplexity's terms ban bots, scrapers and other automatic tools on the service. Use the API for programmatic work.
Static, so your account and your API server always use the same address.
ChatGPT proxy is the GPT / Grok ISP: a dedicated native IP, 10 PTC for 30 days, one IP per person, HTTP or SOCKS5 — and what a proxy cannot change.
View options and pricingGemini proxy is the Gemini ISP: a dedicated native IP, 8 PTC for 30 days, in a country on both Google lists — the Gemini app and AI Studio.
View options and pricingFixed static ISP proxies: a residential-grade IP that stays the same for the whole term. For social accounts, stores and AI tools. HTTP and SOCKS5.

Third-party tests run from mainland China, viewed 2026-10-18: interference recorded since 2023-01-20; both conclusive tests in the last 90 days were blocked; last test 2026-09-27.
Results change over time and differ by network; this is not a Proxy302 measurement.
Product observation · Confirmed on:
Read from the console source on 2026-10-18. Perplexity preset: static ISP, United States, HTTP, 1-month term. Billing offers Per IP and term or Per GB; per-GB static lines do not promise the same IP long term. Static IPs never rotate during the term, and renewing normally keeps the same address. Since 24 October 2026 the console has an Auto-renew IP switch for static IPs (off for new purchases) on the purchase page and per IP in My assets.
Create an account, top up once and pick rotating residential, static ISP or datacenter. Rotating residential exits cover 195+ countries and regions.
