An Argentine IP comes from a local internet provider, and close to half of the country's addresses run on one network, Telecom Argentina's. A residential proxy routes your traffic through a customer line like those. Sites there then show you peso prices, local search results and the ads that run there.
Telecom Argentina's network announces 42.9% of the country's IPv4 addresses, and Telefonica's networks another 22.5%. Below them sits a long tail of 1,035 small holders. Seller pools equal up to 33.1% of the 19.4 million IPs. And 62 of the 66 working free proxies there on our list were flagged on October 26, 2026. Our residential proxies target Argentina at $0.50/GB for one GB.
Which networks does an Argentine IP come from?
LACNIC, the internet registry for Latin America, lists every block it gives out, with the holder's country. Its file, with records to October 23, 2026, lists 19,433,728 IPv4 addresses for Argentina, in 1,934 blocks held by 1,095 holders. We grouped the six largest records by the network that announces their blocks:
The routing joins records that the registry keeps apart. Telefonica's main network also announces the Telefonica Moviles record. Techtel's network announces all 788,480 addresses of the AMX Argentina record, and both records point to Claro's geofeed. Telefonica's own record had 329,728 IPs that no network announced on October 26.
The tail is long: 1,035 holders with 16,384 addresses or fewer share 9.2% of the space. Our Argentina proxies page lists 220 networks for Residential Premium, among them Telecom Argentina, Telefonica and Coop Telefonica Villa Gesell. It also lists 331 cities across 24 regions, such as Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Rosario and Mar del Plata.
IPv6 reaches about a third of users. APNIC Labs measured 34.9% of Argentine users as IPv6-capable in the 30 days to October 23, 2026. A year earlier it was 32.5%, and in October 2020 13.4%.
How large are the Argentine pools sellers advertise?
Large by the registry's measure. We read five sellers' Argentina pages through our server on October 26, 2026, and divided each number by the 19.4 million:
The Bright Data number comes from its page title. Its page text shows 257,248 Argentina IPs, one quarter of it.
Each number counts something different. Oxylabs puts its 5,323,715 on a page about residential and datacenter proxies, and SOAX describes its 2,735,760 as residential and mobile. DataImpulse's counters showed 41,023 unique IPs there in 24 hours, 107,309 in 30 days and 6,206 active at once. We do not publish our own pool size per country.
What changes with an Argentine IP?
Sites see a visitor from Argentina. Google's help page says "IP addresses are roughly based on geography" and that location "helps to show you nearby results". Residential Lite sets the country at the lowest rate. Residential Premium narrows a check to one city or one network, chosen by its AS number.
Each site still applies its own rules to proxy traffic. MaxMind, an IP data vendor, flags suspected residential proxies in its Anonymous IP database. Our guide to how websites detect proxies covers the other checks.
Why do free Argentine proxies fail?
They are scattered over tiny networks, and almost all carry flags. Our tracker has logged 2,548 Argentine IPs from public free proxy lists since May 13, 2026, and 485 ever worked. On October 26, 66 were working.
Only 3 of those ran on datacenter networks. Most sat on small local providers such as Solution LAN, and a few on the two big networks. An IP reputation check had flagged 62 of the 66 and reported 61 for recent abuse. Our free proxy list for Argentina shows the live ones, fine for a test.
How do you pay from Argentina?
By card or crypto. A Visa or Mastercard top-up starts at $10 and a crypto one at $3, and both go into one balance that never expires. PayPal is not offered. Our payment options page lists every method, and our guide to buying proxies with crypto shows what each network charges.
How much traffic does an Argentine job use?
About 380 full desktop pages per GB. HTTP Archive's 2024 Page Weight chapter measured the median desktop page at 2,652 KB and the median mobile page at 2,311 KB. Text-only requests weigh far less, so weigh twenty pages of your own target first.
Which plan fits an Argentine job?
Residential Lite with Argentina as the country handles most jobs, at $0.50/GB for one GB and $0.44 per GB at volume. With 62 of 66 free proxies flagged, the free list is for tests. Residential Premium adds the 331 cities, the 220 networks and sticky sessions of up to 24 hours. It costs $1.49/GB for one GB and $1.00 per GB at volume. Every tier is on our residential proxies page.

- LACNIC's file counts addresses handed out, which is neither the addresses in use nor a count of users.
- We traced routing for the six largest records only, on one day.
- Seller pool numbers are what each page showed on October 26, 2026, and we could not check what each one counts.
- We will check every number on this page again by January 26, 2027.
