A residential Singapore IP comes from a home or mobile line in Singapore, at Singtel, StarHub, M1 or a smaller provider. Through a residential proxy you borrow one of those lines. Sites then show you Singapore dollar prices, local search results and the ads that run there.
Singapore's address space is mostly cloud space. Five cloud and tech companies hold 69.2% of it, Alibaba's cloud alone 48.1%, while Singtel, StarHub and M1 hold 12.8%. More than half of its 28.7 million IPs were not announced on the internet at all on October 26, 2026. And 61 of the 64 working free proxies there on our list ran in datacenters. Our residential proxies target Singapore at $0.50/GB for one GB.
Which networks does a Singapore 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 28,746,048 IPv4 addresses for Singapore, in 1,780 blocks held by 508 holders:
Alibaba's record, named ALICLOUD, holds 13,830,144 IPs. Most of the Aceville record is announced by Tencent's network, and BytePlus, Huawei and Microsoft complete the five. The ten largest records cover 84.7% of the space, so the tail is short: 448 holders with 16,384 addresses or fewer share 2.8%.
How much of Singapore is home broadband?
Very little, and the routing data shows why. We asked RIPEstat which network announces each block of the 11 largest records. On October 26, 2026, 15,084,544 of their IPs, 52.5% of the country's total, were not announced anywhere. Alibaba's record alone left 91.0% of its 13.8 million unannounced.
Singtel, StarHub and M1 announce 3,619,072 IPs from their largest records, 12.6% of the country's space. A residential IP there comes from those lines or from a smaller provider. Our Singapore proxies page lists 46 networks for Residential Premium, Singtel Fibre Broadband, StarHub and Simba Telecom among them.
The registered country can mislead, too. The first block of Huawei's record is named Huawei-Cloud-Brazil, with the remark "Huawei Cloud Brazil POP".
IPv6 rose this year. APNIC Labs measured 21.9% of users there as IPv6-capable in the 30 days to October 23, 2026. A year earlier the share was 16.4%, and in October 2020 it was 17.7%.
How big are the Singapore pools sellers advertise?
Against the whole registry, the five pages we read on October 26, 2026 claim 1.7% or less. Most of that registry is cloud space, so the fairer yardstick is the 3.6 million that Singtel, StarHub and M1 announce:
Bright Data names 323,138 proxy IPs in its page title and 80,784 Singapore IPs lower down, a quarter as many. We charted the title.
Only DataImpulse gives its number a time window. Oxylabs puts 210,432 on a page about residential and datacenter proxies. The time window matters too. DataImpulse's live counters showed 4,861 unique IPs there in 24 hours, 18,958 in 30 days and 1,761 active at once. We do not publish our own pool size per country.
What changes with a Singapore IP?
Sites answer as they would answer a visitor in Singapore. Google's help page says "IP addresses are roughly based on geography" and that location "helps to show you nearby results". In a market this full of cloud space, also check which network an IP belongs to. Residential Premium can hold a line on one network, chosen by its AS number.
Proxy traffic still meets each site's rules. MaxMind, an IP data vendor, flags suspected residential proxies in its Anonymous IP database. Our comparison of datacenter vs residential proxies covers how sites spot server IPs.
Why do free Singapore proxies fail?
Nearly all of them run in datacenters. Our tracker has logged 13,732 Singapore IPs from public free proxy lists since May 13, 2026, and 6,959 worked at least once. On October 26, 64 were working.
61 of those 64 sat on datacenter networks. DigitalOcean alone had 19, and Amazon and Tencent had 7 each. An IP reputation check had flagged all 64, and 61 had reports of recent abuse. Our free proxy list for Singapore shows the live ones, which suit a quick test.
How do you pay from Singapore?
By card or crypto. Visa and Mastercard top-ups start at $10 and crypto at $3, and both fill one balance that never expires. There is no PayPal at checkout. Every method is on our payment options page, and our guide to buying proxies with crypto lists what each network charges.
How much traffic does a Singapore job use?
One GB buys about 380 full desktop page loads. HTTP Archive's 2024 Page Weight chapter found a median of 2,652 KB per desktop page and 2,311 KB per mobile page. Fetches without images or scripts weigh much less, so measure twenty pages of your target first.
Which plan fits a Singapore job?
Residential Lite with Singapore as the country suits most jobs, at $0.50/GB for one GB and $0.44 per GB at volume. The free lists are almost all flagged datacenter IPs, so leave them out of real work. Residential Premium adds the 46 networks and sticky sessions of up to 24 hours. It costs $1.49/GB for one GB and $1.00 per GB at volume. For 4G and 5G carrier addresses, see our mobile proxies. Every residential tier is on our residential proxies page.
What this page could not check
- We tested no speed, success rate or block rate on any network, ours included.
- We do not publish which local networks our exits use, or how many there are.
- APNIC's file counts addresses handed out, which is neither the addresses in use nor a count of users.
- We traced routing for the 11 largest records only, on one day. Smaller home providers sit outside that count.
- Seller pool numbers are what each page showed on October 26, 2026, and we could not see what each one counts.
- We will check every number here again by January 26, 2027.
