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
- Choose the country or region where the account will be maintained long term before selecting a matching proxy.
- Browser language, time zone, location permissions and proxy exit should not conflict.
- Check the environment before the first sign-in and avoid frequent exit changes afterward.
Step 1: Choose the account’s long-term region
A cross-border account environment becomes difficult to manage if its region changes from day to day. First document the account’s purpose, target region, team members and tools, then decide which country or region the proxy needs.
If the account already has sign-in history, keep the new environment as consistent as possible with its previous region. New accounts should not repeatedly switch countries, cities and proxy exits just for convenient testing either.
Step 2: Align browser and system signals
Browser language, time zone, cache, location permissions, device name and proxy exit are all parts of the account environment. The proxy determines the network exit, while the browser environment supplies device-side signals; they need to work together.
A common mismatch is a proxy showing one region while browser language and time zone suggest another. Correct the environment before signing in to important accounts.
Step 3: Run a complete check before signing in
A useful check order is: whether the proxy is connected, whether the IP region matches, whether the browser time zone matches, whether the target tool actually uses the proxy, and whether the account needs additional verification.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is setting up a cross-border account environment a one-time job?
No. Keep usage consistent after setup, especially by avoiding frequent changes to the proxy region, browser environment and sign-in device.
Can multiple accounts share a proxy?
They can for temporary testing, but long-term accounts should have separate proxies by account or business use to simplify troubleshooting and management.
