Looking for an IPIDEA replacement
IPIDEA was disrupted by Google in January 2026 and its domains were seized, along with more than a dozen reseller brands that ran on the same pool. If your traffic stopped, you need a network that is operating today. Shifter serves 205M+ residential IPs across 195+ countries from $0.75/GB, with published benchmarks you can verify.

¿Por qué usar Shifter proxies residenciales?
A Network That Is Operating Today
Google disrupted IPIDEA on 28 January 2026, removing around nine million devices from the network and seizing dozens of domains. More than a dozen brands resold the same pool, so buyers of several different products lost service at once. The immediate need is a provider that is running, not a marginally cheaper one.
One Pool Behind Many Brand Names
Reporting on the takedown named PyProxy, LunaProxy, PIA S5 Proxy, 922Proxy, ABC Proxy, Cherry Proxy, IP2World, TabProxy, 360Proxy and ASocks as brands drawing on IPIDEA infrastructure. If you moved between any of those looking for better performance, you were largely buying the same network twice.
Performance You Can Check Before Committing
After a disruption of this kind, being able to verify a provider's numbers matters more than a discount.
Migrate Without Rewriting Your Integration
Shifter uses standard username and password authentication over HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5. For most teams a migration is a change of gateway host and credentials, with country and city targeting set through the same style of gateway parameters.
Support Through the Move
24/7 support on every plan including the entry tier, so an unplanned migration is not stuck waiting in a queue.

Preguntas frecuentes
Preguntas frecuentes sobre cómo cambiar de IPIDEA a Shifter.
On 28 January 2026 Google took legal action against IPIDEA and disrupted the network, removing up to nine million compromised devices and seizing dozens of domains. Google described it as one of the world's largest residential proxy networks and reported observing more than 550 distinct threat groups using its exit nodes during a single week in January.
Reporting named PyProxy, LunaProxy, PIA S5 Proxy, 922Proxy, ABC Proxy, Cherry Proxy, IP2World, TabProxy, 360Proxy and ASocks among brands running on the same infrastructure. If you were using any of those, you were affected by the same action.
Usually within an hour. Authentication is standard credentials over HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5, so for most teams it is a change of endpoint and credentials, and existing geo-targeting logic normally maps straight across.
Ask for measured evidence, not just a headline pool size. Advertised totals count every address a network has ever seen, over years and across every country, so they say little about what is reachable where you need it right now. Run your own test: send concurrent requests through the gateway to an IP echo endpoint, opening a fresh connection each time, and count the distinct addresses returned in the country you care about. We publish that method and our own results at /benchmarks.
