Gsocks (gsocks.net) sells residential, datacenter, mobile and private proxies through Gsocks, Inc., a Delaware company. On 27 September 2026 its site and help center showed our reader a Cloudflare block page, so the prices here come from Internet Archive copies of its pages from February to July 2026. Its terms and return policy, which it publishes on the Termly service, were readable on the day. For the comparison, jump to the alternatives table.

What Gsocks sells
Residential proxies. Rotating IPs it says come from "consenting device owners", with country, region and city targeting and unlimited concurrent sessions. Its July 2026 page counts more than 30 million IPs in 190+ countries, while its March 2026 pricing page said 22 million.
Datacenter proxies. Dedicated datacenter IPs billed by the gigabyte, more than 2,000 of them by its own count.
Mobile proxies. 3G, 4G and 5G IPs billed by the gigabyte, more than 2 million by its count.
Private proxies. Fixed IPs rented by the month with unlimited traffic and country targeting. It also offers a web scraper, an IP data tool and a Chrome extension.
What Gsocks charges
Its live pages were closed to our reader, so these prices come from Internet Archive copies, each dated below.
| plan | smallest buy | best rate shown |
|---|---|---|
| residential (July 2026) | 1 GB at $4.00 | $2.20 a GB at 500 GB |
| datacenter (February 2026) | $0.60 a GB | $0.39 a GB at 1 TB |
| mobile (March 2026) | $6 a GB | $3.60 a GB at 100 GB |
| private (March 2026) | $2 an IP for 30 days | $1 an IP a month over 360 days |
In March 2026 its pricing page listed residential at $4, $3.20 and $2.40 a GB, the last for 250 GB. Its January 2026 homepage advertised residential from $0.80 a GB and datacenter from $0.24 a GB, without naming the plan behind either figure.
The fine print
A narrow refund window. Its return policy of 17 April 2026 allows a refund within 14 days "if you use no more than 10% or 100MB of traffic". Much of the same policy describes mailing items back in their original packaging, which reads like a template for physical goods.
Monthly renewal. Its terms say a subscription "will continue and automatically renew unless canceled", on a monthly billing cycle.
Arbitration and costs. Disputes go to binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, in Delaware. A fee-shifting clause lets the winning party recover its costs and legal fees from the losing one.
No reselling. It bans reselling and sub-accounts for third-party commercial use without its written consent, and an account closed for a breach gets no refund.
Who you deal with. Gsocks, Inc., registered in Delaware at an address in Middletown, with a mailing address in Newark, Delaware.
How Gsocks changed
The domain was registered on 11 July 2023, and the first archived homepage, from April 2024, read "Gsocks - Global Proxy Network", with residential from $6 a GB and mobile from $15 a GB. By January 2026 the title read "Premium Global Proxy Network", with residential advertised from $0.80 a GB.
Its July 2026 residential page raised the pool claim from 22 million to 30 million IPs. The same page recommends six other proxy providers by name as good places to buy residential proxies.
Where Gsocks is stronger
Long-term private IPs. $12 an IP for 360 days, or $1 a month, with unlimited traffic.
PayPal. It takes PayPal as well as the major cards.
Datacenter by the gigabyte. $0.39 a GB at 1 TB, for jobs that move a lot of data through few requests.
Where HProxy differs
We sell proxies too, so read this part as the account of a competitor. Every HProxy fact here comes from our own product code and pages.
One gigabyte with city targeting. Premium, our pool with state, city and ISP targeting, costs $1.49/GB for one gigabyte, against $4.00 at Gsocks. It falls to $1.00/GB from 1,000 GB+.
By country for less. Lite targets by country at $0.50/GB for one gigabyte, and purchased gigabytes have no scheduled expiry date.
Mobile and fixed addresses. Rotating mobile traffic, targeted by country, costs $1.50/GB, and a dedicated datacenter IPv4 address costs $1.58/IP for a month.
Payment. We take cards, Alipay and thirty-two crypto options, and we ask for no documents at sign-up or at an ordinary checkout.
Where we are behind. We take no PayPal, and we rent fixed IPs for a week to three months, not for a year.
The alternatives, side by side
Residential proxies with city targeting, at the smallest buy. The Gsocks row comes from its archived page of 20 July 2026, and every other figure from the page of each vendor, read on 26 or 27 September 2026.
| provider | smallest buy | per GB at that size |
|---|---|---|
| Gsocks | 1 GB for $4.00 | $4.00 |
| 911Proxy | 10 GB for $27 | $2.70 |
| GloryCloud | 1 GB for $7 | $7.00 |
| Shifter | 5 GB for $10 | $2.00 |
| DataImpulse | 5 GB for $5 | $2.00 with city filters |
| NST Prime | 50 GB | $1.60 |
| HProxy Premium | 1 GB | $1.49/GB |
Our reviews of 911Proxy, GloryCloud, Shifter, DataImpulse and NST cover their terms in full.
Who Gsocks suits
It suits a buyer who wants residential, mobile, datacenter and private proxies from one US company and pays by card or PayPal. That buyer should also be content to test within a small traffic allowance before any refund.
It suits you less if you want a longer refund window, or disputes settled in a court near you rather than by arbitration in Delaware.
Before you commit
Its site blocked our reader, so check the current prices at its checkout before paying. Keep your first test small, since the refund applies only while you have used no more than 10 percent or 100 MB of the traffic. Our proxy checker shows whether an address answers, how fast, and from where, whoever sold it.
The limits of this review
We did not test the Gsocks network, and its live site and help center blocked our reader. Prices come from Internet Archive copies of February to July 2026 and may have changed since. Its pool sizes and location counts are its own claims. We read its terms and return policy on Termly on 27 September 2026.
Every figure here carries the day it was read, and this page is due for a check by 27 December 2026.
