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
- Direct use of PuppyIP proxies from mainland China networks is not recommended.
- Prepare an overseas server or another compliant overseas network environment first.
- Desktop and mobile devices generally need a chained configuration.
Step 1: Understand why direct connections are discouraged
Proxy results depend on the local network environment. Many overseas proxy exits cannot be reached reliably and directly from mainland China networks, so a proxy should not be treated as a direct local-connectivity tool.
A more appropriate approach is to prepare an overseas network environment first, then configure the proxy information delivered by PuppyIP within that environment.
Step 2: Prepare a suitable overseas environment
Common choices include an overseas server or an enterprise overseas network environment. The connection path can be understood as the user’s device connecting to an overseas relay environment, that environment connecting to the static residential proxy, and then reaching the target website.
Individuals and small teams can start with a lightweight overseas environment. Teams with higher availability requirements should prepare a more stable server environment.
Step 3: Configure the proxy information
Once the overseas network environment is ready, choose a complete address or four-field format according to the tool. Tools accept different formats, so do not copy blindly.
If you have already purchased a PuppyIP static residential proxy, start with the usage tutorials. If you still need an entry point, visit the PuppyIP website.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use it directly without an overseas network environment?
This is not recommended. Direct connections from mainland China networks to overseas proxies are generally unstable and do not meet PuppyIP’s usage prerequisites.
Do mobile devices also need an overseas environment?
Yes. On mobile, use a tool that supports chaining or configure access through an overseas network environment before using the proxy.
