A Vietnamese IP comes from a Vietnamese internet provider, most often VNPT, Viettel or FPT Telecom. A residential proxy lets your traffic leave through one of their customer lines. Sites then show you dong prices, Vietnamese results and the ads that run there.
VNPT, Viettel and FPT Telecom hold 88.2% of Vietnam's IPv4 addresses, and IPv6 already reaches 64.4% of users. Two sellers advertise pools equal to 39% and 47% of the registry. Of the 99 working free Vietnamese proxies on our list on October 26, 2026, 97 were flagged. Our residential proxies target Vietnam at $0.50/GB for one GB.
Which networks does a Vietnamese 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 16,499,712 IPv4 addresses for Vietnam, in 1,655 blocks held by 1,365 holders:
Each of the three runs its own space. On October 26, 2026, RIPEstat showed every block of the five largest records announced by its holder's own network, with nothing left idle. SCTV, the Saigon cable television company, and Saigon Postel follow far behind. The long tail is real: 1,349 holders with 16,384 addresses or fewer share 7.4%.
Our Vietnam proxies page lists 47 networks for Residential Premium, among them Viettel Group, FPT Telecom and VNPT. It also lists 199 cities across 63 regions, such as Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Haiphong and Cần Thơ.
Two in three users can reach IPv6. APNIC Labs measured 64.4% of Vietnamese users as IPv6-capable in the 30 days to October 23, 2026. A year earlier it was 61.1%, and in October 2020 44.8%.
How large are the Vietnamese pools sellers advertise?
Two of them come close to half the registry. We read five sellers' Vietnam pages through our server on October 26, 2026, and divided each number by the 16.5 million:
Bright Data's figure is the one in its page title. The page text gives 662,918 Vietnam IPs, a quarter as many.
Oxylabs puts its 6,448,186 on a page offering residential or datacenter proxies. DataImpulse's counters showed 113,090 unique Vietnamese IPs in 24 hours, 664,786 in 30 days and 67,628 active at once. We do not publish our own pool size per country.
What changes with a Vietnamese IP?
Sites take you for a visitor in Vietnam. Google's help page explains that "IP addresses are roughly based on geography" and that location "helps to show you nearby results". Residential Lite fixes the country at the lowest rate. Residential Premium fixes a city or a network, chosen by its AS number.
Proxy detection still applies. MaxMind sells sites an Anonymous IP database that flags suspected residential proxies, and our guide to how websites detect proxies lists the other signals.
Why do free Vietnamese proxies fail?
Plenty work, and almost all are flagged. Our tracker has seen 13,376 Vietnamese addresses on public free proxy lists since May 13, 2026, and 3,260 worked at some point. On October 26, 99 were working, only 3 in datacenters.
Viettel's network carried 44 of them and VNPT's 11. An IP reputation check had flagged 97 of the 99 and reported 96 for recent abuse. The free proxy list for Vietnam shows the live ones for tests.
How do you pay from Vietnam?
By card. Tuoi Tre News reported in October 2017 that the State Bank of Vietnam called Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies illegal as modes of payment. It said their issuance, supply and use are prohibited, with fines of VND150 million to VND200 million.
So from Vietnam, pay with a Visa or Mastercard card that works abroad, from $10. The money goes into one balance that never expires, and the payment options page lists every method.
How much traffic does a Vietnamese job use?
A GB buys roughly 380 full desktop page loads. That figure comes from HTTP Archive's 2024 Page Weight chapter, where the median desktop page weighed 2,652 KB. The median mobile page weighed 2,311 KB. Scraping text alone costs much less, so weigh twenty pages of your target first.
Which plan fits a Vietnamese job?
Residential Lite with Vietnam as the country is enough for most jobs, at $0.50/GB for one GB and $0.44 per GB at volume. The free list, flagged almost to the last proxy, suits tests only. Residential Premium adds the 199 cities, the 47 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 Vietnam's 4G and 5G carriers too, and every residential tier is on our residential proxies page.
What this page could not check
- No speed, success rate or block rate was measured here, on our network or any other.
- We keep it to ourselves which Vietnamese networks our exits use, and how many.
- APNIC's file counts addresses handed out. It does not count addresses in use or users.
- The payment rule comes from a 2017 report. Vietnam's rules on digital assets may have changed since, and we did not read the State Bank's document itself.
- Seller pool numbers are as shown on October 26, 2026, and we could not check what each one counts.
- Every number here gets rechecked by January 26, 2027.
