Reddit Proxy: A Static Residential IP for Each Reddit Account

A fixed home-broadband IP for each Reddit account and each API script — one steady connection per account.

Every hour we open Reddit through Proxy302 residential IPs in several countries. These are the latest checks.

Only the first three octets of each IP are shown. Checked on dynamic residential IPs through the public Proxy302 entry.

Why Reddit needs a proxy

Reddit is blocked in mainland China: GreatFire's recent tests of reddit.com from there all failed. Brands, researchers and community managers who follow English-speaking communities from China need an exit in a country where Reddit works.

Reddit filters traffic by network. On 18 October 2026 we sent two logged-out curl requests to Reddit and got a block page both times: “Your request has been blocked due to a network policy”, which asks visitors to log in and scripts to use developer credentials and a unique, descriptive User-Agent, and “You've been blocked by network security”. Reddit accepts a signed-in account or an approved API script: its Responsible Builder Policy requires you to request access and get explicit approval before using Reddit data through the API.

Reddit's rules ask you to participate authentically in communities where you have a personal interest and not to spam or manipulate content. So each brand account or community manager keeps one account on one stable IP: a static ISP IP is a home-broadband address in the country you pick, fixed for the term and assigned only to you — a steady connection, not a way to multiply votes.

The “Configure Reddit proxies” button at the top of this page opens the Reddit proxy setup: static ISP, billed per IP and term, with SOCKS5 selected. Choose the region and Quantity (one IP per account or script, up to 100) before you pay.

Set up Reddit proxies in 4 steps

  1. Open the Reddit setup

    The “Configure Reddit proxies” button at the top of this page opens the static ISP page with Billing set to Per IP and term, the Social operations use case and Reddit proxy selected. Under Connection settings pick the Region, keep Term at 1 month and Protocol at SOCKS5 (choose HTTP for a PRAW script), set Quantity to the number of IPs you need (one for each account and script, up to 100 at a time), then click Review cost and generate.

    Expected result The “Your configuration” panel shows Per IP and term, your region, the protocol and the quantity.

  2. Copy each IP's details

    Open My assets, choose View credentials on each IP and copy the endpoint (host:port), username and password. Note which account or script each IP belongs to.

  3. One browser profile per account

    In AdsPower, Dolphin Anty, GoLogin or Multilogin create a profile per account, choose SOCKS5, paste the details and set WebRTC to follow the proxy. Check the exit on an IP-check page, then log in at reddit.com.

    Expected result The IP-check page shows the country you bought.

    Before continuing Never vote or comment on the same thread from several accounts — Reddit's rules treat it as content manipulation.

  4. Get API access approved, then run scripts with OAuth

    Request Data API access first: Reddit's Responsible Builder Policy requires explicit approval before any API use, gives developers data access only for moderation and needs written approval for commercial use. Once approved, run the script with PRAW as in the example below: OAuth credentials, a unique and descriptive User-Agent, and the script's own static IP.

Run a PRAW script through the proxy

Scroll horizontally with the arrow keys to read all content.

# pip install praw
import praw
import requests

session = requests.Session()
session.trust_env = False  # ignore system and HTTPS_PROXY proxies
# This script's requests leave through its own static ISP IP
session.proxies.update({"https": "http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT"})

# Credentials of an app Reddit has approved for Data API access
reddit = praw.Reddit(
    client_id="CLIENT_ID",
    client_secret="CLIENT_SECRET",
    username="REDDIT_USERNAME",
    password="REDDIT_PASSWORD",
    user_agent="windows:com.example.mod-queue:v1.0 (by u/REDDIT_USERNAME)",
    requestor_kwargs={"session": session},
)

print("Signed in as", reddit.user.me())
# A moderation task: list items waiting in your community's mod queue
for item in reddit.subreddit("YOUR_SUBREDDIT").mod.modqueue(limit=5):
    print(item.fullname)

Use the credentials of an app Reddit has approved. PRAW sends every request through the requests session you pass in, and trust_env = False stops a system proxy or HTTPS_PROXY from overriding the session's proxy. Without a custom session, PRAW uses the HTTPS_PROXY environment variable instead.

Quick fixes

Reddit shows "Your request has been blocked due to a network policy" or "You've been blocked by network security"

Check Are you logged out in this profile? For a script: is it unauthenticated, or is its User-Agent empty or generic?

Fix Log in from the account's own profile and static IP; run scripts only with Reddit-approved OAuth credentials and a unique, descriptive User-Agent.

reddit.com does not load in the profile

Check Open an IP-check page in the same profile. Is the exit in a country where Reddit works, and does the proxy type match the protocol you bought?

Fix Correct the proxy type, host and port, or switch to an IP in another country, then reload reddit.com.

Posts are removed as soon as they go up

Check Read the community's rules: does it limit links, new accounts or self-promotion?

Fix Post where the account takes part and follow each community's rules. A different IP does not change moderation.

Reddit proxy FAQ

Where is Reddit blocked?

Reddit is blocked in mainland China. Start the Proxy302 helper tool (Connect → Helper tools) first, then use a static ISP IP in a country where Reddit works. The helper tool shows a local address and port: enter those instead of the proxy host and port, with the same username and password. The live panel on this page shows which of our test countries reach Reddit right now.

Why does Reddit say I've been blocked by a network policy?

Reddit shows that page to traffic it does not accept from your network. It asks people to log in and asks scripts to use developer credentials and a descriptive User-Agent. A signed-in account on its own static IP, or a script with Reddit-approved OAuth credentials, is the fix.

How many Reddit accounts can I run on one proxy?

One. Give each account and each script its own static IP and keep it.

Can I use proxies to upvote my own posts?

No. Reddit's rules forbid content manipulation; votes from extra accounts break them no matter which IPs they come from.

Can I run PRAW through the proxy?

Yes, once Reddit has approved your API access. Pass a requests session with the proxy set, as in the example, or set the HTTPS_PROXY environment variable.

    Budget rotating residential from US$1.50 per GB; account credit in PTC at 1 PTC = US$1.00, as published on the pricing page (checked against the production catalogue on 2026-10-09).
