Korea Proxies
South Korea's internet is one of the most geo-restricted in Asia. Naver, Coupang, and Gmarket actively block or degrade access from foreign IPs, and Korean streaming and gaming platforms enforce strict regional licensing. Korean proxies are the only reliable way to collect search rankings, product pricing, and content availability data as Korean users experience it.
Korea vs top markets

}'Proxy types
Residential Proxies
Route through real home internet connections. Residential IPs are assigned by ISPs to homeowners, making them virtually indistinguishable from regular users. Best for accessing sites with strict bot detection.
ISP Proxies
Data-center IPs registered to legitimate internet service providers. Faster than residential with good trust scores. Ideal for large-scale operations where speed matters more than stealth.
Mobile Proxies
Route through real 4G/5G cellular connections. Mobile IPs are shared by thousands of real users on carrier NAT, making them nearly impossible to block. Highest anonymity tier.

How many proxy IPs are available in Korea?
Spider currently has 5,802,619 residential, ISP, and mobile proxy IPs in Korea (KR). The pool is continuously refreshed to maintain high success rates.
What proxy types work best in Korea?
Residential proxies provide the highest trust level in Korea and work for most use cases. ISP proxies are faster and suit high-volume data collection. Mobile proxies are recommended for platforms that aggressively fingerprint connections.
How do I route requests through Korea?
Set "country": "kr" and "proxy_enabled": true in your API request. Spider will automatically select the best available IP in Korea and handle rotation.
Is there a latency difference for Korea proxies?
Latency depends on your server location relative to Korea. Residential proxies in Korea typically average 150-400ms. ISP proxies are faster at 50-150ms. Spider selects the lowest-latency IP available in the target country.
Can I use sticky sessions with Korea proxies?
Yes. Set a session ID in your request to maintain the same Korea IP across multiple requests. Sticky sessions last up to 10 minutes, which is useful for multi-page scraping flows that require IP consistency.
