A Mexican IP comes from a Mexican internet provider, and half of the country's addresses run on one network, Uninet's. A residential proxy routes your traffic through a home or mobile line like those. Sites then show you peso prices, local results and the ads that run in Mexico.
Uninet's network announces 49.5% of Mexico's IPv4 addresses. IPv6 already reaches 58.0% of users. Seller pools equal up to 36.1% of the 29.0 million addresses. All 88 working free Mexican proxies on our list were flagged on October 26, 2026. Our residential proxies target Mexico at $0.50/GB for one GB.
Which networks does a Mexican 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 28,961,536 IPv4 addresses for Mexico, in 1,387 blocks held by 731 holders. We grouped the eight largest records by the network that announces their blocks:
Uninet's record alone holds 15,839,488 addresses, and its network also announces the record of Telefonos del Noroeste. Mega Cable, Axtel, Cablemas and Television Internacional fill the next places. Part of this space sits unused. On October 26, no network announced 3.3 million addresses in the eight largest records, 1.9 million of them in Uninet's. Universities hold large blocks too, among them Tec de Monterrey and UNAM.
Our Mexico proxies page lists 136 networks for Residential Premium, among them Mega Cable, Total PLAY Telecomunicaciones and Interphonet Telecom. It also lists 397 cities across 32 regions, such as Mexico City, Tijuana, Iztapalapa and Puebla.
IPv6 is well established. APNIC Labs measured 58.0% of Mexican users as IPv6-capable in the 30 days to October 23, 2026. A year earlier it was 55.9%, and in October 2020 36.5%.
How large are the Mexican pools sellers advertise?
Large, by the registry's measure. We read five sellers' Mexico pages through our server on October 26, 2026, and divided each number by the 29.0 million:
Bright Data's title says 3,530,441 proxy IPs, and its page text 882,610 Mexico IPs, a quarter as many. The chart shows the title.
Oxylabs puts its 8,698,618 on a page offering residential or datacenter proxies. DataImpulse's counters showed 137,969 unique Mexican IPs in 24 hours, 679,695 in 30 days and 19,739 active at once. In our Colombia guide, the largest pool came to 18.2%. We do not publish our own pool size per country.
What changes with a Mexican IP?
A Mexican address tells a site where to place you. In Google's words, "IP addresses are roughly based on geography", and location "helps to show you nearby results". With Residential Lite you pick the country. With Residential Premium you can go down to a city, or hold one network by its AS number.
Sites can still look up what kind of address you use. MaxMind's Anonymous IP database, which sites license, marks suspected residential proxies. The rest of the checks are in our guide to how websites detect proxies.
Why do free Mexican proxies fail?
The free list fails on reputation. Since May 13, 2026, our tracker has seen 4,308 Mexican addresses on public free proxy lists, and 2,272 of them worked at some point. 88 were up on October 26: 12 in datacenters, most of the rest on networks such as Total Play, Mega Cable and Uninet.
All 88 had a reputation flag, and 84 had reports of recent abuse. The free proxy list for Mexico shows the live ones for a quick test.
How do you pay from Mexico?
Card and crypto both work here. Visa and Mastercard payments start at $10 and crypto payments at $3, and both feed one balance with no expiry. We do not take PayPal. All methods are on the payment options page, and our guide to buying proxies with crypto compares the fees per network.
How much traffic does a Mexican job use?
Think in page loads: a GB covers about 380 full desktop pages. The basis is HTTP Archive's 2024 Page Weight chapter, with a median desktop page of 2,652 KB. Its median mobile page weighed 2,311 KB. Text-only scraping uses a small part of that, so measure twenty pages of your own target first.
Which plan fits a Mexican job?
Start with Residential Lite set to Mexico: $0.50/GB for one GB, $0.44 per GB at volume. Use the free list for tests at most, since all 88 were flagged. Move to Residential Premium for the 397 cities, the 136 networks or sticky sessions of up to 24 hours. It costs $1.49/GB for one GB and $1.00 per GB at volume. Mobile proxies cover Mexico's 4G and 5G carriers as well, and every residential tier is on our residential proxies page.

- The sellers' pool numbers are as their pages stood on October 26, 2026. What each one counts, we could not see.
