Proxy Acceptable Use Policy

Last updated: September 2026

1. Purpose & Scope

GoUndetected provides premium static residential (ISP) IP addresses on our own network. The value of these IPs depends entirely on their reputation: clean, trusted addresses that social platforms treat like a normal home connection. A single customer abusing an IP can get it flagged, blacklisted, or reported — which harms every other customer who shares our network.

To protect that shared reputation, proxy usage is restricted. This Acceptable Use Policy ("Policy") applies to every GoUndetected proxy subscription, to the organization that purchased it, and to anyone who uses the credentials. It forms part of our Terms of Service. By purchasing or using a proxy you agree to this Policy.

2. Permitted Use

Our proxies are intended for managing social media accounts — your own accounts or those of clients you are authorized to manage. Typical permitted activity includes:

  • Logging into and operating social media accounts.
  • Posting, messaging, and community management.
  • Legitimate outreach and account automation for accounts you control.
  • Running multiple accounts you are authorized to operate, each on its own dedicated IP.
  • Browsing, research and everyday web use from the platforms' point of view of a normal home connection.

Usage should look like a person or a small team working from a home connection: normal browsing volumes, normal request rates, normal session lengths. If your use case is different, ask us first (section 9) — many legitimate cases are fine once we know about them.

3. Prohibited Use

You may not use GoUndetected proxies for any of the following. This list is illustrative, not exhaustive:

  • Mass scraping, crawling, harvesting, or high-volume data extraction of any website or service.
  • Spam, unsolicited bulk messaging, mass account creation, or bulk registration of any kind.
  • Phishing, fraud, carding, payment abuse, chargeback fraud, or any financially deceptive activity.
  • Ad fraud, click fraud, view or engagement inflation, or manipulation of metrics you are paid for.
  • Credential stuffing, brute-forcing, password guessing, account takeover, or unauthorized access to any system.
  • Denial-of-service attacks, port scanning, vulnerability scanning, hacking, or any network attack or intrusion.
  • Distributing malware, exploits, or illegal, infringing, or harmful content, including content involving minors.
  • Harassment, threats, doxxing, or impersonation of real people or organizations.
  • Running mail servers, VPN or proxy relays, botnet command-and-control, or any service that resells our connectivity.
  • Sharing, sublicensing, or reselling your proxy credentials to third parties.
  • Circumventing sanctions or export controls, or use by or for sanctioned persons, entities, or territories.
  • Any activity that generates abuse complaints, DMCA notices, blacklisting, or otherwise damages the reputation of the IP or our network.
  • Anything unlawful in your jurisdiction or the jurisdiction of the target service.

4. Technical Restrictions

To make the most common forms of abuse impossible rather than merely forbidden, the following are enforced on every proxy at the network level. They do not affect social media, web browsing, or apps:

  • Blocked outbound ports: SSH and Telnet (22, 23), direct SMTP (25), Windows networking (135, 137–139, 445), remote desktop and VNC (3389, 5900–5901), and database ports (1433, 1521, 3306, 5432, 6379, 27017). Authenticated mail submission (465, 587) remains available.
  • Private networks: connections to private, link-local, or carrier-grade NAT address ranges are rejected.
  • Protocols: HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 with authentication. Credentials are per IP and may be reset by us at any time for security reasons.
  • Speed and fair use: each IP is capped at 100 Mbit/s and 500 concurrent connections, and includes 100 GB of traffic per calendar month — far above normal social media use. Beyond that the IP is slowed to 2 Mbit/s until the 1st of the next month (you will see a "limited" badge on it). Need more? Contact us for a high-bandwidth plan.

Attempts to reach blocked destinations are logged and count as policy violations even though they fail.

5. Network Reputation & Monitoring

Because our IPs are a shared resource, we monitor proxy traffic at the connection level. Our systems automatically detect abusive patterns — spam, mass scraping, brute-force, scanning, and network attacks — and can block offending traffic instantly, without prior notice or manual review.

What we record: for each connection, the proxy IP and credential used, timestamps, destination host and port, bytes transferred, and whether the connection was allowed or rejected. We do not inspect or store the content of your traffic; encrypted (HTTPS) traffic is opaque to us by design. Connection records are kept for up to 90 days for abuse handling and then deleted, unless required longer for an open complaint or a legal obligation.

We may also investigate and act on any activity that threatens the health or reputation of the network, including complaints from platforms or upstream providers, blacklisting, or unusual traffic, even where it is not explicitly listed above.

6. Enforcement & Appeals

We respond in proportion to the risk to the network:

  • Warning. Unusual but not clearly abusive activity is flagged and reviewed; we may contact you to understand the use case. Your proxies keep working.
  • Suspension. Activity that can get an IP or address block blacklisted (for example brute-force attempts, spam runs, or scanning) results in immediate suspension of the organization's proxies and a block on new purchases. You will see the reason in your dashboard and receive an email.
  • Termination. Repeated or severe violations result in termination of the proxy service for the organization. Affected IPs are rotated back into our pool with new credentials.

Suspensions are lifted only after review. To appeal, email support@goundetected.io from the organization owner's address with an explanation of the activity. We reply within 3 business days. Fees for the affected subscription period are not refunded when a suspension or termination is the result of a violation of this Policy.

You are responsible for all activity conducted through your credentials, including by team members, clients, tools, and anyone else you allow to use them. We may cooperate with law enforcement, platforms, and upstream network providers and disclose information where legally required.

7. Reporting Abuse

If you believe a GoUndetected IP is being used against you or your service, write to abuse@goundetected.io with the IP address, the timestamp (with time zone), and a short description or log excerpt. Reports are handled within one business day and the responsible customer is identified from our connection records.

8. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time, including the list of technical restrictions as new forms of abuse appear. Continued use of the proxies after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent change.
