A New Zealand IP comes from a New Zealand internet provider, most often Spark, One NZ or 2degrees. A residential proxy routes your traffic through one of their customer lines. Local sites then show you NZ dollar prices, New Zealand results and the ads that run there.
The three hold 58.4% of the country's IPv4 addresses, yet more than half of Spark's record was not announced on October 26, 2026. Seller pools equal 2.2% of the 6.5 million addresses at most. Not one free New Zealand proxy on our list was working that day. Our residential proxies target New Zealand at $0.50/GB for one GB.
Which networks does a New Zealand IP come from?
APNIC, the internet registry for the Asia Pacific region, lists every block it gives out, with the holder's country. Its file, with records to October 24, 2026, lists 6,523,904 IPv4 addresses for New Zealand, in 1,455 blocks held by 546 holders:
Routing shows how much of that is in use. On October 26, 2026, no network announced 852,992 of the 1,600,000 addresses in Spark's record. One NZ's record runs mostly on One NZ's networks, with 196,608 addresses on a network named Vodafone Next Generation Services. Below the three, the list turns public and corporate. Christchurch City Council, Health New Zealand, the Ministry of Health, Fonterra, ANZ Bank and two universities hold large records.
Our New Zealand proxies page lists 21 networks for Residential Premium, among them 2degrees, InSPire Net and Sky Network Television. It also lists 32 cities across 12 regions, such as Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington and Hamilton.
About a third of users can reach IPv6. APNIC Labs measured 32.6% of New Zealand users as IPv6-capable in the 30 days to October 23, 2026. A year earlier it was 30.5%, and in October 2020 25.8%.
How big are the New Zealand pools sellers advertise?
Small next to the registry. We read five sellers' New Zealand pages through our server on October 26, 2026:
The chart takes Bright Data's 78,925 from its page title. Its text reads 19,731 New Zealand IPs, a quarter of the title's count.
Oxylabs puts its 54,794 on a page offering residential or datacenter proxies. DataImpulse's counters showed 1,455 unique New Zealand IPs in 24 hours, 6,832 in 30 days and 624 active at once. We do not publish our own pool size per country.
What changes with a New Zealand IP?
Local sites see a visitor in New Zealand. Google's help page says "IP addresses are roughly based on geography" and that location "helps to show you nearby results". Pick the country with Residential Lite. Residential Premium picks a city, or a network chosen by its AS number.
Sites may still check your address type. MaxMind licenses an Anonymous IP database with a flag for suspected residential proxies, and our guide to how websites detect proxies covers the rest.
Why are there no free New Zealand proxies?
There were none to use. Our tracker has seen 244 New Zealand addresses on public free proxy lists since May 13, 2026, and only 5 ever worked. On October 26, none did. Our free proxy list for New Zealand will show any that come up.
How do you pay from New Zealand?
Both card and crypto work. Visa and Mastercard top-ups start at $10 and crypto ones at $3, and the money lands in one balance that never expires. PayPal is not offered. Our payment options page lists every method, and our guide to buying proxies with crypto compares the network fees.
How much traffic does a New Zealand job use?
Expect around 380 full desktop pages per GB. HTTP Archive's 2024 Page Weight chapter gives a median of 2,652 KB for a desktop page and 2,311 KB for a mobile page. Fetches without images or scripts are far lighter, so measure twenty pages of your own target first.
Which plan fits a New Zealand job?
Residential Lite with New Zealand as the country handles most jobs, at $0.50/GB for one GB and $0.44 per GB at volume. With no free proxy working, there is no free option to weigh. Residential Premium adds the 32 cities, the 21 networks and sticky sessions of up to 24 hours. It costs $1.49/GB for one GB and $1.00 per GB at volume. Mobile proxies reach New Zealand's 4G and 5G carriers too, and our residential proxies page lists every tier.
