When shared access makes sense
A shared plan is useful when price matters more than exclusive address use and the workflow can tolerate reputation or load changes caused by a small number of other users.
Affordable proxy access
Buy Shared Proxies for Cost-Conscious Workflows
Shared proxies lower the entry cost by making each address available to three users while retaining unlimited bandwidth, HTTP/HTTPS compatibility, and supported authentication options.
Entry monthly package: 10 Shared Proxies.
Monthly total: $12.00 USD. Setup fee: $0.00 USD.
Confirm location, options, taxes, promotions and the final total when configuring your plan.
Shared between three users
Unlimited bandwidth
HTTP and HTTPS support
Username/password or IP authentication
Country options vary by plan; confirm stock
Lower-cost entry plan
Know the trade-off
Shared addresses cost less, but another assigned user can affect how a destination sees the IP. Choose private proxies when exclusive control and a steadier reputation baseline are more important.
Start with the destination rules
Test the actual application and destination before scaling. Proxy access does not grant permission to collect data or automate actions that a destination prohibits. Confirm the proxy authentication method separately from any destination login.
Private and shared proxy comparison
HTTPS destination support is not a promise of a TLS-encrypted connection to the proxy itself. Confirm the supplied endpoint, port and authentication method before configuring your client. If SOCKS5 is required, ask support to confirm it for your selected plan.

Frequently asked questions
How many users share a shared proxy?
Mexela describes its shared proxy addresses as shared between three users.
Is a shared proxy the same as a free public proxy?
No. This shared plan is paid access assigned to three users, with supported authentication. A free public proxy list is a different access model. Compare the assigned-user count, authentication and destination compatibility when buying shared proxies.
Is bandwidth limited on shared plans?
The current shared proxy service is presented with unlimited bandwidth, subject to the service terms and acceptable-use rules.
When should I choose private proxies instead?
Choose private proxies when you need exclusive address assignment and want to reduce the influence of other users on IP reputation or load.
Will my proxy subscription renew automatically?
Recurring renewal applies only if you set up a recurring payment. Ask support about changing the payment method before expiry. If the recurring payment cannot be collected, the subscription is not renewed.
Can I keep or change the proxy IPs at renewal?
For monthly renewals, confirm whether your selected plan will keep the existing addresses or receive new proxies. Check the available option before renewing; a changed IP does not guarantee acceptance by your destination.
When will I receive my proxies?
Check the delivery estimate and current country availability for your selected quantity before payment. Contact support if timing is essential; do not assume every location or quantity is immediately available.
How can I check whether a plan fits my application?
Start with the smallest suitable plan and test the same application, protocol and permitted destination you intend to use. Confirm authentication and the observed exit IP; a successful IP check alone does not establish destination compatibility.
Learn before choosing a plan
- Understand proxy basics
Compare shared access, protocols, authentication, and location requirements before choosing a lower-cost plan. - Public API checks with Python Requests
Configure an explicit HTTP proxy, keep secrets outside the script, and verify the route before sending authorized requests. - Node.js requests with Axios
Choose the proxy or CONNECT-agent path for the supplied endpoint, set timeouts, and distinguish proxy errors from destination responses. - Request and browser QA with Playwright
Configure the supplied endpoint for the chosen request context or browser. Verify each path separately; an API test does not prove browser compatibility.
