IPv6 addresses are plentiful, so a proxy service can give you fresh ones at a small fraction of the IPv4 price. For sites that answer over IPv6, the result is the same page for much less money.
Before buying, check the target. A site with an AAAA record in its DNS answers over IPv6; a site without one cannot be opened through an IPv6 proxy at all. BooProxies sells IPv6 datacenter and IPv6 residential plans, both with country targeting.
Because the price per gigabyte is so low, IPv6 plans suit jobs where volume is the main cost: large crawls of big platforms, or data that has to be collected again and again. A common setup uses an IPv6 plan for every source that supports it and an IPv4 plan for the rest.

Questions about IPv6 proxy
Why are IPv6 proxies so cheap?
Because the addresses cost almost nothing. IPv4 addresses are scarce and are bought and rented; IPv6 addresses are handed out in enormous blocks.
Do I need IPv6 at home to use an IPv6 proxy?
No. You connect to the proxy over your normal connection. Only the last step, from the proxy to the website, uses IPv6.
Related terms
- IPv4 and IPv6
- IPv4 addresses are the older, short kind and are nearly used up. IPv6 addresses are longer and plentiful, which makes them much cheaper.
- Datacenter proxy
- A datacenter proxy uses an IP address that belongs to a hosting company. It is fast and cheap, and the easiest kind for a website to recognise.
- Residential proxy
- A residential proxy sends your traffic through an IP address that belongs to a home internet connection, so websites see an ordinary household visitor.
