Put the proxy on the browser, not inside MetaMask — then the wallet and every dApp you open use the same fixed home-broadband IP.
Network blocks stop wallets before the blockchain does. In mainland China, GreatFire's latest tests fail for metamask.io, walletconnect.com and dApp front ends such as app.uniswap.org, and google.com, home of the Chrome Web Store, is rated mostly blocked. Installing or updating MetaMask and opening dApps all need a connection that leaves from a country where those sites load.
Your IP travels with every wallet session. MetaMask's privacy notice names Infura as its default RPC provider and says MetaMask may temporarily process your IP address for some of its services, and every dApp you open sees your address as well. Through a proxy they see the proxy's static IP, not your home or office line.
MetaMask runs inside the browser, so the proxy belongs on the browser profile — not in MetaMask's network list. MetaMask warns that a custom RPC URL on Ethereum, Linea, Base, Arbitrum or BNB Smart Chain turns off Smart Transactions such as MEV protection. A static ISP IP also keeps the wallet and the dApps you sign in to on one address and one country for the whole term.

| Criterion | Choose | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Product | Static ISP proxy | A home-broadband IP that stays the same for your term |
| Billing | Per IP and term | The IP is yours for the term; the Per GB ISP option doesn't promise the same IP long term |
| How many IPs | One per person or browser profile | Different people and projects keep separate exits |
| Country | Where you normally work and your dApps are available | Nothing is preselected for Web3 — choose it before you pay |
| Protocol | HTTP (preselected) or SOCKS5 | The Proxy302 extension needs HTTP; antidetect browsers take either |
| IP changes | Never during the term | Renew in My assets before it ends to keep the same IP |
The “Configure wallet proxies” button opens the static ISP page for the Web3 use case, billed per IP and term with HTTP selected. Choose the region, the term and Quantity (up to 100 IPs at a time) before you pay.

| Criterion | Static ISP | Rotating residential | Datacenter |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you get | A home-broadband IP fixed to you for the whole term | Household IPs: a sticky session in the country you pick, or rotation on the Budget line | Fixed IPs in data centres — the console's fastest and cheapest option |
| Price | Per IP and term, shown in PTC before you pay (1 PTC = US$1) | Per GB: Budget US$1.50, Premium US$5.00, from 1 GB | Per IP and term, shown in PTC before you pay |
| Best for MetaMask | Daily wallet and dApp work — one IP per person or profile | Checking a dApp's public pages from several countries; not for signed-in wallet sessions | Scripts and developer tools that call RPC nodes or APIs |
Prices in US dollars; you pay with PTC credit (1 PTC = US$1). Top up your wallet, then buy the line you need. Auto-renew isn't available yet, so renew static IPs in My assets before their term ends.
The “Configure wallet proxies” button opens Static Residential / ISP · Per IP with Billing set to Per IP and term and the Web3 use case selected. Under Connection settings pick the Region, choose the Term and keep Protocol at HTTP (or choose SOCKS5 for an antidetect browser), set Quantity to the number of IPs you need (one per person or browser profile, up to 100 at a time), then click Review cost and generate.
Expected result Your configuration lists Per IP and term, Web3, your region and the protocol.
After payment the console opens My assets. Choose View credentials on the new proxy and copy the endpoint (host:port), username and password.
In Chrome or Edge, install the Proxy302 extension, then in My assets open More actions on the proxy's row, choose Use extension and press Connect — the extension takes HTTP proxies only. In an antidetect browser such as AdsPower or GoLogin, create one profile per person or project, paste the proxy and set WebRTC to follow the proxy.
Before continuing Install MetaMask only from its official site or your browser's official store, and type your Secret Recovery Phrase nowhere except inside MetaMask itself.
In the same browser open ipinfo.io: the IP and country must be the proxy's. Then open the dApp and connect MetaMask as usual, leaving its networks on the defaults.
Expected result ipinfo.io shows the proxy's IP and country, and the dApp loads.
Check Open ipinfo.io in the same browser. Is the exit in a country where the dApp is available?
Fix Connect the extension or fix the profile's proxy, or use an IP in another country. If the dApp restricts your country under its own terms, a different IP is not the answer.
Check Did you add a custom RPC URL for Ethereum, Linea, Base, Arbitrum or BNB Smart Chain?
Fix Switch that network back to its default RPC URL and keep the proxy on the browser instead.
Check Do the username, password and protocol match View credentials in My assets?
Fix Copy them again. The Proxy302 extension accepts HTTP proxies only, so use an IP generated with HTTP.
Not a separate one. MetaMask runs inside your browser and uses the browser's connection, so set the proxy on the browser — with the Proxy302 extension or in an antidetect-browser profile — and MetaMask's traffic goes through it.
No. An RPC URL is the address of a blockchain node, not a proxy. MetaMask says a custom RPC URL on major networks turns off Smart Transactions such as MEV protection.
The proxy relays your encrypted HTTPS traffic: it can see which sites you connect to, not what you send. It never needs your Secret Recovery Phrase or private keys — MetaMask says it will never ask for your phrase, and nobody else should either.
Static. A static ISP IP stays the same for your term, so the wallet and the dApps you sign in to keep seeing one address and one country. Rotating residential suits reading public pages.
One person's wallets can share one browser profile and its IP. Give different people or projects their own profile and IP so their sessions stay apart, and don't use extra IPs to pose as more people.
Not if the restriction is the dApp's own rule: a proxy doesn't change who you are or which rules apply to you, so follow the dApp's terms. A proxy helps when your network can't reach the site.

Read in the console source on 2026-10-18: for the Web3 use case the static ISP page bills Per IP and term (a Per GB option exists but does not promise the same IP long term), offers HTTP or SOCKS5 with HTTP preselected, leaves Region unselected, shows Auto-renew IP as Not yet available and states that static IPs never rotate. Its Web3 note reads “Wallet and DApp access: Per IP · HTTP CONNECT by default, SOCKS5 optional · 1 IP · adjustable monthly term · no automatic rotation”. The backend catalogue lists these IPs as dedicated static residential IPs. Since 19 October 2026 the Quantity field takes 1 to 100, and the console buys and charges the IPs one by one.
Product observation · Checked:
Budget rotating residential US$1.50 per GB and Premium US$5.00 per GB, both from 1 GB; account credit in PTC at 1 PTC = US$1.00; static ISP and datacenter leases depend on region, quantity and term and are shown before you pay — as published on the pricing page (checked against the production catalogue on 2026-10-09).
Product observation · Checked:
The guide says the extension is installed from Connect → Browser extension, is pointed at a proxy from My assets → More actions → Use extension, supports HTTP proxies only and proxies only the browser it is installed in.
Create an account, top up once and pick rotating residential, static ISP or datacenter. Rotating residential exits cover 195+ countries and regions.
