Buy Residential Proxies With Crypto: How It Works

You can buy residential proxies with crypto on BuyProxy, with one important limit: crypto covers pay-as-you-go bandwidth top-ups, while monthly plans are paid by card. Top-ups start at $0.99/GB for Core Residential, are priced from the same live rate card as card payments, and are credited to your balance once the payment confirms. This guide explains how crypto checkout works step by step, what it does and does not cover, and when card is the better choice.

What You Can and Cannot Pay for With Crypto

Crypto is available for pay-as-you-go top-ups across every BuyProxy proxy type. It is not available for subscription plans, which run as card subscriptions through Stripe. Here is the split:

Because crypto only covers top-ups, you buy bandwidth in one-off amounts rather than a recurring allowance. Credits never expire, so there is no penalty for buying a large batch at once. For plan economics versus pay-as-you-go, see our residential proxy pricing guide.

How Crypto Checkout Works, Step by Step

1. Create an account. Sign up at buyproxy.org/signup and verify your email. A crypto purchase still belongs to an account.
2. Open Billing and pick a proxy type. Each type has its own price and its own balance: Core Residential $0.99/GB, Premium Residential $2.99, ISP Rotating $1.49, Mobile $3.99, Datacenter IPv4 $0.99 and IPv6 $0.29.
3. Enter the GB you want. The minimum is $5 per top-up. The total is calculated on the server from the live rate card, never from a price sent by your browser.
4. Choose Crypto at checkout. You are sent to a hosted invoice page run by NOWPayments, a payment gateway that says it supports Bitcoin, USDT, Ethereum and 350+ other coins. The coin choice and the exact amount are shown there.
5. Pay from your wallet. Send the exact amount shown to the address on the invoice.
6. Wait for confirmation. Once the payment confirms, the GB is credited to the balance for the product you chose. Timing depends on the coin and the network.

Developers can do the same thing from code: the official SDKs expose a crypto top-up call that returns an invoice URL, and a transaction helper that waits for the payment to settle.

What 100 GB Costs in Crypto

The price in dollars is the same as card, and the coin amount is converted at checkout. Some quick examples on Core Residential at $0.99/GB:

The bonus is credited on top of the purchased GB at no extra charge, which brings the effective rate on large top-ups to about $0.90/GB. Network fees depend on the coin you choose and are separate from the price of the bandwidth.

Crypto or Card: Which Should You Use?

Choose crypto if you prefer to pay without a card, you already hold stablecoins, or you are buying a one-off batch of bandwidth. Choose card if you want a monthly plan, because plans run as subscriptions that renew automatically and credit your monthly GB each billing period. Card is also the only route for yearly billing, which saves roughly 10% on the plan price.

One thing crypto does not change: your usage is still tied to a BuyProxy account and subject to the acceptable use policy. Paying with crypto is a payment choice, not a privacy guarantee.

Crypto for Resellers

If you resell proxy access through the Reseller Program (included on Business and Advanced plans), you can fund your reseller pool with crypto as well, then allocate GB to your own customers. Our walkthrough of how the reseller program works covers pools, customers and allocation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I buy residential proxies with Bitcoin or USDT?
Yes. BuyProxy's crypto checkout runs through NOWPayments, which supports Bitcoin, USDT, Ethereum and many other coins. You choose the coin on the hosted invoice page.

Q: Can I pay for a monthly plan with crypto?
No. Crypto covers pay-as-you-go top-ups only. Monthly and yearly plans are paid by card as Stripe subscriptions.

Q: Is the price different if I pay with crypto?
No. Crypto and card top-ups use the same live per-GB rate card, so Core Residential is $0.99/GB either way, and top-ups of 100 GB or more add the same 10% bonus.

Q: What is the minimum crypto purchase?
$5 per top-up, the same as for card. Network fees on the coin you pick are separate.

Q: Does paying with crypto make my proxy use anonymous?
No. Crypto is a payment method, not an anonymity tool. Your purchase is linked to a verified account and covered by the acceptable use policy.

Summary

BuyProxy accepts crypto for pay-as-you-go top-ups at the same per-GB prices as card, from $0.99/GB, with a 10% bonus on top-ups of 100 GB or more and credits that never expire. Use crypto for one-off bandwidth purchases and card for monthly plans.
