Which Asia proxy providers do not require KYC?
In our set, AsiaProxies, Geonode and ProxyEmpire do not ask for ID by default. Geonode may still verify "where reasonably necessary". Webshare uses a short KYC step only to unblock certain targets.
Oxylabs, IPRoyal and SOAX verify every paying customer. Bright Data requires company KYC for Residential zones created after July 7, 2026. Read how our own policy works on the no-KYC page.
How did we choose and rank these providers?
We started from the providers that appear in Asian proxy searches and in our price survey. For each one we read its own pricing, KYC and payment pages on 5 October 2026.
We ranked on four points: Asian coverage, public price at 1 to 100 GB, KYC policy and crypto payment. We did not invent ratings, speeds or pool sizes. AsiaProxies publishes this page and ranks itself first; competitor facts come from their public pages and may change.
For country detail, see our pages for Japan, India and Indonesia.
Which providers did we leave out, and why?
We left out NetNut and every IPIDEA-linked brand. When we checked on 5 October 2026, netnut.io showed a page titled "Seized by the Federal Bureau of Investigation". Some older Asia lists still recommend it.
In January 2026, Google said it disrupted the IPIDEA residential proxy network and named 13 brands linked to it. We do not recommend any of them. See how AsiaProxies sources IPs on our sourcing page.
Best Asia residential proxies: FAQ
Which Asia residential proxy has the lowest price per GB in 2026?
It depends on volume. Our 1 GB test ($1.50) is 25% below the cheapest 1 GB purchase we found (SOAX Tier 3 at $2.00/GB, Philippines/Bangladesh). Our 10 GB pack ($6.60) is 25% below Geonode's 10 GB minimum PAYG order ($8.80 at $0.88/GB). At 100 GB, our $0.50/GB is below Geonode's $0.648/GB subscription rate.
Which Asia residential proxy accepts crypto without KYC?
AsiaProxies accepts USDT, BTC, ETH, USDC, LTC and SOL and asks for no ID, selfie or documents. In our set, Geonode and ProxyEmpire also take crypto without default KYC. IPRoyal takes crypto but verifies every client. Webshare does not take crypto.
Does Bright Data require KYC for Asian residential IPs?
Bright Data's Residential network requires company KYC for zones created after July 7, 2026. Its documentation says personal email addresses cannot be approved. Its ISP, Datacenter and Web Unlocker products do not need KYC. Bright Data also discontinued its mobile proxy product in April 2026. See our Bright Data alternative for Asia.
Why are Japan and Korea IPs more expensive at some providers?
Some providers price by country tier. SOAX, for example, charges $5.00/GB at small volume for Japan, Korea and Australia, $4.00/GB for India or Indonesia, and $2.00/GB for the Philippines. AsiaProxies uses one residential price for every Asia-Pacific country, from $0.50/GB.
Why is NetNut not in this list?
When we checked on 5 October 2026, netnut.io showed a page titled "Seized by the Federal Bureau of Investigation". We do not recommend a provider whose domain shows a seizure notice. Older Asia proxy lists may still rank it, so check the date of any list you read.
How often is this comparison updated?
We re-check competitor prices and KYC pages before each update and show the check date at the top of the page. This version uses prices checked on 5 October 2026. Providers change prices and promotions often, so confirm the current price on their site before you buy.
