10 Best Taiwan Proxies (2026)

Taiwan is one of Asia's most connected markets: almost everyone is online, fibre and 5G are widespread, and shopping, messaging and news have moved onto a handful of local and regional platforms. Shopee TW, momo and PChome show Taiwanese shoppers prices, coupons and delivery options in New Taiwan dollars that differ from what a visitor in Hong Kong or the US sees; Google returns different results on google.com.tw; and LINE, Dcard and PTT are where much of Taiwan's conversation happens. If you monitor prices, track Taiwanese search rankings, verify ads, test an app or manage accounts for the Taiwanese market, you need an IP address that Taiwanese websites accept as local.

The problem is that "Taiwan" on a proxy provider's location page can mean anything from a few hundred datacenter addresses in Taipei to hundreds of thousands of residential IPs across the island. We compared 18 providers on what they actually publish for Taiwan — the size of their Taiwanese pool, city, ISP and carrier targeting, which proxy types they sell with Taiwanese IPs, and what it costs — and picked the 10 that cover the most needs.

Quick picks

• Best overall for Taiwan: ProxyEmpire — 61 locations in 21 municipalities, counties and cities, mobile on all three Taiwanese carriers, and residential from $1.50/GB with a $1.97 trial.
• Best for targeting by Taiwanese ISP: SOAX — publishes its Taiwanese pool by city and by network, from Chunghwa Telecom to kbro and Seednet, with mobile at the residential price.
• Best for enterprise: Bright Data — all four proxy types with Taiwanese IPs, plus city, ZIP, carrier and ASN targeting.
• Best for large-scale scraping: Oxylabs — the largest Taiwanese pool claimed (3,178,210 IPs), plus dedicated datacenter IPs in Taipei.
• Best for Taiwanese ISP proxies: Novada — static and rotating ISP proxies in Taiwan alongside 625,927 IPs in total.
• Best budget option: DataImpulse — $1/GB Taiwanese residential traffic that never expires.

Comparison table

Taiwanese IP counts are each provider's own claim from its Taiwan page in November 2026. Providers count differently — some count unique IPs seen over a month, some count IPs online at a point in time, some combine proxy types — so the numbers aren't directly comparable. Prices change often; check the provider's pricing page before you buy.

The Taiwanese proxy landscape

Knowing how people in Taiwan get online makes it much easier to pick the right proxy type, and to tell whether an IP you've been given looks believable to a Taiwanese website.

Three mobile operators, after two mergers. Taiwan's mobile market consolidated in 2023, when Taiwan Mobile absorbed Taiwan Star Telecom and Far EasTone merged with Asia Pacific Telecom. Today Chunghwa Telecom, Taiwan Mobile and Far EasTone (FET) serve essentially every mobile subscriber, with Chunghwa the largest. A Taiwanese mobile proxy should come from one of these three networks — anything else looks unusual.

Mobile data runs on 4G and 5G. Taiwan's operators switched off 3G data at the end of 2018 (3G voice was kept for older phones and has since been retired) and launched commercial 5G in mid-2020, so real Taiwanese mobile data traffic runs on 4G and 5G. If a provider's page talks about Taiwanese 3G, read it as generic copy rather than a description of the Taiwanese network.

HiNet dominates fixed broadband. Chunghwa Telecom's HiNet is by far the largest home internet provider, and SOAX's own breakdown reflects that: Chunghwa Telecom carries more than 41,000 of the Taiwanese IPs it lists, against about 4,000 for Far EasTone and 3,000 for TWN Broadband. The rest of the market is cable broadband — kbro, TBC and other cable operators — plus smaller ISPs such as So-net, Seednet (New Century InfoComm, part of the FET group) and Taiwan Fixed Network (Taiwan Mobile's fixed-line arm). Residential proxy IPs that Taiwanese sites trust will almost always belong to one of these networks.

Local platforms matter more than global ones in shopping. Shopee TW, momo, PChome 24h, Ruten (for second-hand and C2C sales) and Yahoo! Kimo shopping and auctions are the core of Taiwanese e-commerce, and Coupang has entered the market too. Search is dominated by google.com.tw. Socially, LINE is the default messaging app, Facebook and Instagram are widely used, and Dcard and the PTT bulletin board system are key sources for sentiment and brand research.

Taiwanese pools are modest. Most providers' Taiwanese residential pools are in the tens or hundreds of thousands of IPs, and the number online at any moment is far lower: DataImpulse, for example, reports 26,448 unique Taiwanese residential IPs over 30 days but only 2,725 active in real time. SOAX says Taipei, Kaohsiung and Taichung together hold 56% of its Taiwanese IPs. If you need many concurrent sessions outside the main cities, check availability during a trial before you commit.

1. ProxyEmpire — Best overall for Taiwan

ProxyEmpire publishes the most Taiwan-specific product page we found. It claims 61 targetable locations across 21 of Taiwan's municipalities, counties and cities — from Taipei, New Taipei and Taoyuan to Hualien, Taitung, Penghu and Kinmen — and names districts as specific as Neihu, Banqiao, Zhongli, Xitun and Zuoying. Its list of 21 areas leaves out Lienchiang County (the Matsu Islands). It doesn't publish a total Taiwanese IP count.

For account work, its mobile offer is the standout: rotating mobile proxies run on Chunghwa Telecom, Taiwan Mobile and Far EasTone — all three Taiwanese mobile operators, with the former Asia Pacific Telecom now part of Far EasTone — with municipality, county, city, ZIP, carrier and ASN targeting. Residential traffic can be narrowed by named ISP, including HiNet, So-net, Seednet, kbro, TBC, DaDa Broadband and VeeTIME, and adds OS-fingerprint targeting (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android), which helps when your browser profile needs to match the device behind the IP.

Rotating residential costs $3.50/GB pay-as-you-go and runs from $2.85/GB on the 7 GB Starter plan to $1.50/GB on the 1,000 GB Enterprise plan, with custom pricing from $0.75/GB above 5 TB. Rotating mobile starts from $2/GB, and rotating Taiwanese datacenter traffic from $0.35/GB (Taiwan-wide targeting only). Static residential IPs aren't offered in Taiwan. A $1.97 trial is available; the Taiwan page doesn't state the trial size or a refund policy, so read the terms before you buy a larger plan.

2. SOAX — Best for targeting by Taiwanese ISP

SOAX doesn't give a single total for Taiwan, but it publishes something more useful: a breakdown of its Taiwanese pool by city and by network. Its top cities are Taipei (10K+ IPs), Kaohsiung (7K+), Taichung (7K+), New Taipei City (5K+), Tainan (3K+) and Taoyuan (3K+), followed by Zhongli, Hsinchu, Banqiao and Chiayi City. Its network list is led by Chunghwa Telecom (41K+), then Far EasTone (4K+), TWN Broadband (3K+), Taiwan Mobile (2K+), kbro, the Taiwan Academic Network, Homeplus, TBC, Seednet and Union Broadband Network.

That transparency makes SOAX the easiest provider to plan ISP-level work with: you can see in advance that HiNet-style Chunghwa IPs make up most of the pool, and target a smaller cable network when you need to reproduce what its customers see. SOAX says Chunghwa Telecom, Far EasTone and TWN Broadband together carry 85% of its Taiwanese IPs. Mobile proxies are sold through the same credits at the same price as residential, and you can choose a Taiwanese network operator. The Taiwan page describes mobile connections on "3G, 4G and 5G networks" — Taiwan switched off 3G data in 2018, so expect 4G and 5G in practice. The page lists residential and mobile only; there are no Taiwanese datacenter IPs.

Taiwan is in SOAX's Tier 1 price band. The no-fee Sandbox plan costs $5/GB, Builder $3/GB on a $200 monthly plan, Team $2.20/GB ($500), Scale $1.50/GB ($1,500), and Enterprise from $0.85/GB ($3,000). There is no free Taiwanese trial — SOAX says Sandbox is the way to test, with top-up credits — and credits expire 60 days after they're added on Sandbox or a monthly plan.

3. Bright Data — Best for enterprise

Bright Data is one of only two providers on this list that sells all four proxy types with Taiwanese IPs — residential, mobile, ISP and datacenter — and it offers the deepest targeting: Taiwanese traffic can be narrowed by city, state, ZIP code, carrier and ASN, so you can pick a Chunghwa Telecom or Far EasTone network specifically.

Its Taiwanese pool size is unclear, though. The Taiwan page's title claims 630,161 proxy IPs, while the page body says 33,439 Taiwan IPs — a twentyfold difference. The smaller figure may count only one product or IPs online at one moment, but Bright Data doesn't say. The page also doesn't name any Taiwanese cities or carriers, so confirm availability in the dashboard during the free residential trial.

Pricing is the main trade-off. Bright Data's residential pricing page advertises plans from $5.88/GB, with frequent promotional codes, and its ISP proxies start from $1.30 per IP. Mobile proxies have no public price. If you need one supplier for every proxy type in Taiwan, with procurement-friendly contracts, Bright Data is the strongest option; for a single residential use case, the providers above are cheaper.

4. Oxylabs — Best for large-scale scraping

Oxylabs, a Lithuanian provider and one of the largest in the market, claims the biggest Taiwanese figure of any provider we checked: 3,178,210 IPs. Taken at face value, that's several times larger than any other Taiwan page, backed by a 175M+ global residential network with city- and state-level targeting.

Its Taiwan page lists residential and dedicated datacenter proxies. The datacenter product is small and concentrated: 703 IPs in Taipei, 256 in Taipei City and 128 in Dawan, all with HTTP and SOCKS5, IPv4 and IPv6, and unlimited bandwidth. That's fine for monitoring lightly protected Taiwanese sites, but it's a reminder that "Taiwanese datacenter IPs" usually means a few hosting ranges around Taipei.

The Taiwan page doesn't quote prices. Oxylabs' residential pricing page lists pay-as-you-go traffic at $6/GB for small volumes, falling to $5/GB, $4/GB and $2.50/GB at 1,000 GB and above, with monthly plans from $30 (Starter). New accounts get $5 in welcome credits to test. Expect a subscription rather than cheap pay-as-you-go access for serious volume.

5. Decodo — Best for an easy, low-risk start

Decodo (formerly Smartproxy) is a safe default in most countries, and it sells Taiwanese residential and mobile proxies with city, ASN and country-level targeting. Its Taiwan page is thin on local detail, though: it quotes only its global 125M+ IP pool and names no Taiwanese cities, ISPs or carriers.

What Decodo does well is make starting easy. Residential pay-as-you-go costs $4/GB, monthly plans fall from $3.75/GB (3 GB) to $2.75/GB at 100 GB and $2/GB at 1,000 GB, and the Taiwan page quotes mobile from $4.50/GB. ASN targeting lets you aim at a HiNet or cable network if your account supports it for Taiwan.

New users get a 3-day free trial with 100 MB, and first purchases come with a 14-day money-back guarantee — but only if you haven't used the free trial and haven't used more than 20% of your traffic. That makes Decodo a good way to check whether Taiwanese residential IPs work on your targets before committing to a more Taiwan-focused provider.

6. IPRoyal — Best for non-expiring traffic and short static rentals

IPRoyal claims 126,199 unique Taiwanese IPs and lists 28 Taiwanese locations, from Taipei, Taichung, Kaohsiung and Tainan to smaller towns such as Douliu, Magong (Penghu), Taitung, Hualien, Zhubei and Yuanchang. It sells every product type in Taiwan: rotating residential, ISP (static residential), mobile and datacenter proxies.

Its main advantage for residential use is that pay-as-you-go traffic never expires. Taiwanese projects often run in bursts — a Double 11 sale, a quarterly price audit — so buying a block of gigabytes and using it over months can work out cheaper than a monthly plan. Pay-as-you-go starts at $7.35 for 1 GB and falls to $1.84/GB at 10 TB (subscriptions run $7 → $1.75/GB), and sticky sessions can last up to 7 days.

IPRoyal is also one of the few providers that lists Taiwan for its ISP proxies, from $1.80 per proxy on a 24-hour plan, which suits short tests or a campaign that needs one stable Taiwanese IP for a few days. Mobile proxies start from $10.11 per day and datacenter proxies from $1.39 per proxy. The Taiwan page doesn't name the Taiwanese ISPs or carriers behind these products.

7. Novada — Best for Taiwanese ISP proxies

Novada sells both static ISP and rotating ISP proxies in Taiwan, alongside residential and datacenter proxies, and its Taiwan page claims 625,927 Taiwanese IPs in total. That combination is unusual: most providers either don't sell ISP proxies in Taiwan or only offer one kind.

Static ISP IPs are the practical choice if you need one stable Taiwanese IP per account for weeks — a Shopee or Ruten seller account, a LINE Official Account manager, or a Taiwanese Facebook ad account — while rotating ISP traffic gives you ISP-registered IPs that change per request, which can be faster and steadier than peer-to-peer residential exits. City-level targeting is free on residential, datacenter and static ISP proxies.

Novada's prices are inconsistent between pages. Its Taiwan page quotes residential from $3.60/GB, rotating ISP from $3.96/GB, datacenter from $0.97/GB and static ISP from $4.50 per IP; its main pricing page gives much lower starting points — residential from $1.30/GB, rotating ISP from $0.65/GB, rotating datacenter from $0.50/GB and static ISP from $1.18 per IP. The lower figures are likely volume rates, so check the checkout price for your plan size. Novada doesn't publish which Taiwanese cities or ISPs are available, and the Taiwan page lists HTTP(S) only.

8. DataImpulse — Best budget option

DataImpulse has the lowest pay-as-you-go price on this list for Taiwanese residential traffic: $1/GB, falling to $0.80/GB at 1 TB, and traffic never expires. It's also unusually transparent about the size of its Taiwanese pool — and that transparency is a useful warning. Its Taiwan residential page reports 26,448 unique IPs over 30 days, 3,142 in the last 24 hours and 2,725 active in real time.

Those are small numbers. Its premium residential Taiwan page reports a smaller pool again (18,753 over 30 days, 2,362 in real time). For price monitoring on Shopee TW or PChome at moderate request rates, a few thousand live IPs is workable. For many simultaneous sticky sessions, or anything outside Taipei, test first. Mobile traffic costs from $2/GB and datacenter from $0.50/GB.

Targeting is where you need to read carefully. The standard residential page marks state, city, ZIP and ASN targeting as "extra costs", while the premium residential page says those options are "included in the price". Country-level targeting is free either way. DataImpulse states that it doesn't offer any static IPs in Taiwan. Sticky sessions last up to 120 minutes, and a $5 starter pack (5 GB) works as a low-risk trial.

9. Webshare — Best for cheap Taiwanese datacenter IPs

Webshare, a US provider, is the cheapest way to get a batch of Taiwanese IPs for lightly protected targets. Its Taiwan page lists 489,672 IPs across its products (labelled "Taiwan, Province of China", the ISO name many IP databases also use), with datacenter proxies from $0.029 per IP on small plans and as little as $0.0179 per IP on very large ones. It also sells static residential and rotating residential proxies, with country, city, state, ZIP and ASN targeting on rotating residential.

Webshare's Taiwanese residential pricing is less clear: the same page says both "from $7.00 a month for 1 GB" and "as low as $1.40/GB". The higher figure is the entry plan and the lower one a large-volume rate, so check the checkout price for your plan size. A free plan with 10 proxies, no credit card required, lets you test the dashboard first.

Shared datacenter IPs are a poor fit for Shopee TW, momo or social platforms, which flag hosting ranges quickly. They're useful for crawling Taiwanese news sites and government open-data portals, or for checking your own site's Taiwanese CDN edge at very low cost.

10. Rayobyte — Best for consent-based sourcing

Rayobyte, a US provider, sells Taiwanese Premium Residential proxies and static IPs. Its Taiwan page says its residential IPs come "from people in Taiwan who opted in", which matters if your compliance team needs to document how a supplier's exit nodes were sourced. It doesn't publish a Taiwanese IP count, cities or ISPs, but it supports city, postal-code and ASN targeting.

Premium Residential costs $0.70 to $3.50/GB pay-as-you-go, and from $0.50/GB through sales on larger commitments. SOCKS5 is included on Premium Residential; other products use HTTP(S), with SOCKS5 on request. Every self-serve product has a free trial with no credit card needed.

Note that Rayobyte's static Taiwanese IPs are dedicated datacenter addresses, not static residential (ISP) IPs, priced from $0.85 per IP a month at scale with a commitment. They're fine for lightly protected targets, but not a substitute for an ISP proxy on account work.

Other providers we considered

• Infatica — its Taiwan page claims more than 50,000 Taiwanese IPs and lists 12 cities, from Taipei and Kaohsiung to Hualien and Neihu, with residential traffic from $4/GB pay-as-you-go and a $4 trial; a solid option, but a smaller pool than the providers above.
• Geonode — the lowest per-GB price we saw ($0.79/GB, down to $0.27/GB at scale) and named Taiwanese networks (Chunghwa Telecom, Taiwan Mobile, FarEasTone), but its Taiwan page contradicts itself: 84,210 residential IPs across 12 cities in the page title versus 27,596 IPs across 3 cities in its page description.
• Proxy-Seller — sells dedicated Taiwanese IPv4, IPv6, ISP, mobile and residential proxies, with Taiwanese IPv4 from $0.90 per IP for one week and unlimited bandwidth, but publishes no Taiwanese IP count, cities or carriers.
• MarsProxies — its Taiwan page claims 90,886 datacenter, ISP and residential Taiwanese IPs, with residential from $1.65/GB and mobile from $8.49 a day, but names only Taipei and no Taiwanese networks.
• Floppydata — lists rotating proxies from $1/GB and static residential IPs from $1.79 a month for Taiwan, but publishes no Taiwanese IP count, cities or ISPs.
• NodeMaven — its Taiwan page describes residential and mobile IPs, but publishes no Taiwanese IP counts, cities or carriers.
• Thordata and HypeProxies — we found no Taiwan location page for either; HypeProxies focuses on ISP proxies in other markets.
• NetNut — not recommended. On 2 July 2026 the FBI seized hundreds of domains associated with NetNut, and Google's Threat Intelligence Group reported that it disrupted the NetNut residential proxy network and the associated "Popa" botnet.

Which proxy type do you need for Taiwan?

Taiwanese use cases: practical tips

Shopee TW, momo and PChome monitoring. These are the core of Taiwanese e-commerce and well protected against bots. Use rotating Taiwanese residential IPs, keep a sticky session for each "visit" rather than rotating on every request, and use a real browser or a well-maintained HTTP client with a realistic fingerprint. Prices and coupons change quickly around campaign days such as 6.18, 9.9, 11.11 (Double 11) and 12.12, so plan for traffic spikes — and stricter bot protection — on those dates.

Seller and marketplace accounts. Taiwanese merchants often run several Shopee, Ruten, momo marketplace and LINE Official Accounts. Platforms link accounts by IP, device and payment details, and many registrations require a Taiwanese phone number. Use one static ISP or dedicated mobile IP per account, match the browser profile to that IP, and never share an IP between accounts you want to keep separate. Proxies don't remove the need to follow each platform's rules on multiple accounts.

Local SEO on google.com.tw. Google localises Taiwanese results by city and language. Use city targeting, set hl=zh-TW and gl=tw, and send an Accept-Language: zh-TW header. Taiwanese searches use Traditional Chinese, often mixed with English brand names, so track both versions of important keywords. For large keyword sets, a SERP API may be cheaper than running your own browser through proxies.

Dcard and PTT research. Dcard and PTT are where Taiwanese users discuss products, brands and news, which makes them common sources for sentiment research. Crawl politely, cache aggressively and respect each site's terms — most of the value comes from a modest number of boards and threads, not bulk downloading.

Ad verification. Taiwanese campaigns are frequently targeted by city, and mobile campaigns by carrier. Mobile proxies with carrier targeting (ProxyEmpire, SOAX, Bright Data) let you see exactly what a Chunghwa Telecom or Far EasTone subscriber sees, which matters for in-app and mobile-web placements.

Gaming and app testing. Taiwan has a large mobile gaming market, and many games and apps restrict sign-ups, servers or prices by region and phone number. A Taiwanese mobile IP is the most realistic test environment; datacenter IPs are often blocked from in-app purchases.

Streaming. Taiwanese streaming services and the Taiwanese catalogues of global services restrict content to Taiwan and block known proxy and datacenter ranges. Residential or mobile IPs are less likely to be blocked, but per-GB pricing makes video expensive, and circumventing geo-restrictions may breach the service's terms. Don't buy proxies primarily for this.

How to test a Taiwan proxy

Before you scale up, spend a few minutes checking that the IPs you're given really look Taiwanese and don't leak your own identity.

1. Check geolocation in more than one database. Use two or three IP lookup services. Geolocation databases disagree, especially for mobile IPs, which often geolocate to Taipei regardless of where the subscriber actually is. Many databases label Taiwan as "Taiwan, Province of China" (the ISO country name); that's a naming convention, not a sign of a Chinese IP.
2. Check the ASN. A Taiwanese residential IP should belong to a consumer network such as Chunghwa Telecom's HiNet (AS3462), Taiwan Mobile, Far EasTone, Seednet, So-net or a cable operator such as kbro or TBC. An ASN belonging to a hosting company, VPN or cloud provider means you've been given a datacenter or VPN-like exit, whatever the product page says.
3. Match your browser to Taiwan. Set the Accept-Language header to zh-TW (with English as a secondary language if you like), the browser locale to Traditional Chinese (Taiwan) and the time zone to Asia/Taipei. A Taiwanese IP with a US time zone and English-only settings is an obvious mismatch for anti-bot systems.
4. Check for leaks. Test for WebRTC and DNS leaks, and make sure your real IPv6 address isn't bypassing the proxy on a dual-stack connection.
5. Measure latency from where your scraper runs. Exit nodes in Taiwan add significant latency if your servers are in the US or Europe. Run your scraper from a nearby cloud region (such as Taiwan, Hong Kong, Tokyo or Singapore) where possible, and compare time-to-first-byte across providers during their trials. Taiwan's outlying islands depend on a few undersea cables — in 2023, cable damage cut the Matsu Islands off for weeks — so IPs targeted to Penghu, Kinmen or Matsu may be slower than those on the main island.
6. Test against your real targets. A proxy that passes an IP checker can still be blocked by Shopee TW or momo. Run a small batch against the sites you care about and measure the success rate before buying a large plan.

Is it legal to use proxies in Taiwan?

Using a proxy, VPN or other intermediary is legal in Taiwan. What you do through it is what matters, and three areas of law are most relevant:

• Computer crime. Chapter 36 of Taiwan's Criminal Code, "Offences Against Computer Security" (Articles 358 to 363), makes it an offence to access another person's computer system without authorisation — for example by using their credentials or exploiting a vulnerability to get around protections — to obtain, delete or alter their electronic records, or to interfere with their systems. Bypassing logins, paywalls or technical access controls you aren't entitled to use can fall under it, whether or not you use a proxy.
• Personal data. The Personal Data Protection Act applies when you collect or process personal data about people in Taiwan — for example names, profile details or contact information from marketplaces, forums or social networks. You need a lawful basis, and you should minimise what you collect. A 2023 amendment set up an independent Personal Data Protection Commission and raised penalties for data breaches.
• Fraud prevention. The Fraud Crime Hazard Prevention Act, passed in 2024, places duties on telecom operators, online platforms and advertisers to counter online fraud, including identity checks and the removal of scam ads and accounts. It's a reminder that Taiwanese authorities take account and phone-number misuse seriously.

Choose a provider that explains how it obtains consent from the people whose devices route traffic, and avoid networks with no clear operator. This section is general information, not legal advice; take advice specific to your project if you plan large-scale collection of Taiwanese data.
