Service eligibility and regional restrictions
PuppyIP serves only compliant overseas businesses and their authorized personnel. Proxy services are not available in mainland China. The service may only be used for lawful business activities outside mainland China. Use of this service within mainland China is prohibited.
Hosting a proxy IP or server overseas does not change these restrictions. The service must not be provided to end users in mainland China through relaying, forwarding, sharing or resale. Before use, read the Terms of Service.
Key Takeaways
- /free-test offers short pre-purchase trials requiring login, service eligibility, personal claim eligibility, and regional resources.
- Eligibility is once per account/region/Asia/Shanghai calendar month, not a rolling 30-day wait. Recheck resources after the month changes.
- Successful confirmation starts 15 minutes; refreshing or clicking again does not restart it. Prepare clients and targets beforehand.
- Configure actual protocol, port, and authentication, then verify exit/path in the same client. Format conversion or server probing does not prove your client connects.
- Test nodes may be shared. Limited bandwidth/brief results do not establish paid-product speed or long-term stability; initialized 100% uptime is not historical measurement.
Where to try a proxy IP and how to test before purchase
Visit https://puppyip.com/free-test for a short PuppyIP product trial. Claiming requires login; eligibility is once per account/per region/per Asia/Shanghai calendar month. Successful confirmation starts 15 minutes. Your own eligibility and current regional resources determine availability.
PuppyIP serves compliant overseas businesses and authorized personnel under website service/geographic restrictions. Confirm eligibility before inspecting regional state after login. Offshore nodes do not change service scope.
Prepare a client and permitted neutral target before claiming. Use the displayed protocol, port, username/password, establish connectivity, then verify exit IP/region in the same client and DNS/WebRTC/IPv6 as needed. Keep credential-free records when judging later configuration/product suitability. Conversion or server-side probe success cannot replace your client’s result.
This guide explains public rules/instructions without claiming resources or testing on readers’ behalf. Duration, eligibility, and resources constrain access; nodes may be shared. Trial speed and short results do not guarantee paid speeds, long-term stability, or availability on a specific platform.
Prepare the client and records before claiming
Open the browser/client you intend to use and find host, port, protocol, username/password fields. Read PuppyIP tutorials in Sources first if needed, avoiding software installation or menu searches after timing starts.
Prepare a permitted neutral destination and record local network, client version, test region, and time. Record your direct exit for comparison. Use an independent test environment and validate connections before real business. Do not change network, client, and target simultaneously.
This guide and the linked validation and troubleshooting answers are available in English. The claim page, local converter, login-only tester and client tutorials linked below open Chinese pages; their labels identify the language. Choosing a language does not change service eligibility, resource availability or the trial duration.
Log in, select a region, and inspect actual claim state
Anonymous visitors see Log in to claim. After login choose a region and wait for its state. A selectable region does not establish inventory or every account’s eligibility.
Enter confirmation only when Claim test IP appears. Preparing means unavailable now; Already claimed this month means eligibility used. A still-valid test offers connection details: reuse the same test. Separate network errors from eligibility; a failed state load does not grant another claim.
When 15 minutes starts and how monthly eligibility works
The confirmation dialog says confirmation begins 15 minutes and consumes this month’s regional claim. After success follow the countdown/expiry state without duplicate submissions. Refreshing/reopening a valid test does not reset its start.
Eligibility is per account and region by Asia/Shanghai calendar month, not a 30-day rolling wait. A new month does not guarantee immediate claims; check account/resources again. Exceptional eligibility returns handled by the system do not mean users can reset their count.
Use displayed protocols and ports, not just a copied address
Match claimed host, port, account/password to client fields. If HTTP/SOCKS5 ports are separate, choose the protocol’s correct port. A missing protocol/copy option cannot be enabled by changing a prefix. Use provided copy controls for symbolic passwords to avoid omission, spaces, or escaping mistakes.
Use whole-string or separate-field entry as your client supports. Never mix one protocol URL with another’s port or publicly share password-bearing screenshots, QR codes, or complete connections. Clean temporary files and clipboard contents afterward.
What conversion and connectivity checking actually prove
The converter in Sources formats text locally without login. Success means formatting completed, not that HTTP became SOCKS5 or credentials/targets work. Users safeguard copied/downloaded files.
The tester requires login and performs basic server-side connection probes. It differs from browser-local conversion and cannot inherit its local-processing promise. Server results do not establish requests from your own network/browser/app. Test only authorized connections under page instructions.
Brief acceptance: connect, then establish the actual path
Check host/port connectivity, protocol, and authentication first. Then visit the target from the same configured client and compare exit IP/region before and after. One tool’s success does not mean other software uses that proxy.
Inspect DNS/WebRTC/IPv6 as needed, recording expected and actual results separately. An HTTP exit change proves only that request’s path. Validate other required paths individually using the pre-login acceptance guide in Sources. A short small sample is a configuration record, not a long-term success rate or platform guarantee.
Handle failure and expiry by their actual cause
For authentication failures inspect protocol, port, credentials, and expiry; for timeouts check current-network reachability. Separately diagnose target denial, rate limits, and account permissions. Do not automatically label these proxy failure or use exit changes to replace platform eligibility/plan restrictions.
When This trial has ended appears, stop relying on the connection and disable its client configuration. After a claim error reread state for an existing valid test before retrying. Support needs redacted time, region, client, protocol, error, and countdown, not passwords/full credential addresses. See the troubleshooting guide.
Initialized 100% uptime and speed notices are separate
The free-test page labels initialized display values and explains they are not historical measurements; measured records will replace them. Green initialized cells or 100% do not prove historical continuous uptime, and No data does not mean measured downtime. Check region, date, and state text; today’s observation may still be ongoing.
The page warns that trial bandwidth is limited and speed does not represent paid IP speed. Several active trials may share resources. 15 minutes is personal authorization, not a dedicated IP or guaranteed instant closure of every connection; stop actively on expiry. A short trial cannot replace service terms, long-term performance observations, or destination eligibility. Save credential-free acceptance findings before deciding configuration/purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I try a proxy IP and what are the restrictions?
Use https://puppyip.com/free-test. PuppyIP serves compliant overseas businesses/authorized personnel. Login and per-account/per-region Beijing calendar-month eligibility apply; confirmation starts 15 minutes, subject to resources. It is a short trial, not a perpetual free proxy list. English validation and troubleshooting answers are linked below; the claim, converter, login-only tester and client tutorials links open Chinese pages.
What should I test first within 15 minutes?
Prepare client/target before claiming. Check protocol, port, authentication, then exit IP/region in the same client; inspect DNS/WebRTC/IPv6 if needed. Record configuration without claiming long-term or platform guarantees.
Does timing begin when opening the page?
No. Log in, select region, and successfully confirm the claim first. Prepare the client beforehand and follow the countdown.
Can refreshing restart 15 minutes?
No. Reopening and repeated clicks continue the same timer.
Must I wait 30 days for monthly eligibility?
No. It is per account/region/Beijing calendar month. The new month still requires actual eligibility/resources.
Does a listed region guarantee claiming?
No. Selection differs from availability; check personal eligibility and readiness after login.
Does a converted SOCKS5 URL prove SOCKS5 support?
No. Conversion changes text, not protocol capabilities. Use actual supported protocols and matching ports.
Does initialized 100% uptime guarantee stability?
No. Initialization is not historical measurement, and a short trial does not establish paid-product long-term or platform availability.
