A Singapore proxy gives you a dedicated IP address in Singapore, the city many companies use as their Southeast Asia base. Regional SaaS accounts, ad platforms and marketplace dashboards are often set up from Singapore, and a stable Singapore IP lets a distributed team reach them from one consistent location. This guide is about choosing that vantage point well: what a Singapore IP is good for, where a country-specific IP is the better choice, and how to roll one out to a team without sharing passwords around.
Cloudj offers dedicated IPv4 proxies in Singapore, which makes them a Singapore static ISP proxy: each IP is a static address registered to an internet service provider and assigned to one customer only, with HTTP or SOCKS5 where the location supports it. The static residential ISP type, a home-broadband IP that looks like a regular user, is not offered in Singapore; it exists only in the United States and Vietnam. All locations are on the proxy overview, and the console shows current stock.
Singapore is a hub, not the whole region
The most common mistake with Singapore IPs is treating them as "the Southeast Asia IP". Singapore is a business hub, but each Southeast Asian market has its own storefronts, search results and ad delivery. A Singapore IP shows you Singapore. It does not show you what a shopper in Ho Chi Minh City, Jakarta or Manila sees.
Use this table to match the task to the vantage point:
| Task | Best vantage point | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Log in to regional SaaS tools set up for a Singapore entity | Singapore dedicated IP | Matches where the account and its security rules live |
| Check Singapore storefronts on Shopee, Lazada or Carousell | Singapore dedicated IP | Each marketplace runs a separate Singapore site |
| Check Vietnamese storefronts, ads or search results | Vietnam proxy | The Vietnamese versions are served to Vietnamese visitors |
| Run Vietnamese seller accounts that should look like a local home | Vietnam static residential ISP proxy | Home-broadband IP that stays the same |
| Check ads aimed at all of Southeast Asia | One IP per target country | Ad delivery and creative differ by country |
For Vietnam specifically, buying a Vietnam proxy covers the dedicated IPv4 option and Vietnam static ISP proxies goes deeper on static IPs, including the residential type. Cloudj's proxy countries are Vietnam, the United States, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong and the United Kingdom, so for other Southeast Asian markets you would need a different solution.
Where a Singapore proxy fits best
Regional SaaS and business tools
Many companies run their regional finance, CRM, analytics and support tools from a Singapore entity. Some of these tools let administrators restrict logins to known IP addresses or flag sign-ins from unexpected countries. A dedicated Singapore IP gives a team spread across Vietnam, the Philippines or Australia one stable address to put on that allowlist. The pattern, and how to set it up safely, is described in static IP allowlisting with a proxy.
Ad and landing-page checks for Singapore
Campaigns targeted at Singapore should land on the Singapore page with the right currency, offer and legal text. A Singapore IP lets you load the ad destinations, follow redirects and capture what a local visitor gets. Pair it with Singapore-specific search checks using the method in local SEO rank tracking with proxies.
Singapore marketplaces and price research
Shopee, Lazada and Carousell each run a dedicated Singapore site with its own catalogue and promotions. If you sell there, or benchmark against sellers who do, a fixed Singapore IP keeps your weekly snapshots consistent. Keep request rates low and follow each marketplace's rules; a proxy is a vantage point, not a licence to ignore terms of service.
Buyer's checklist for a team rollout
- Count people and tools, not hours. A shared allowlisted IP for a SaaS tool may need only one or two proxies. Separate accounts or browser profiles need one IP each. See how many proxies do I need.
- Choose authentication on purpose. Username and password works from anywhere. If your team connects through fixed office or server IPs, add up to 20 of them to the proxy's whitelist; it replaces password access, so nobody needs to copy the password.
- Pick the protocol your tools support. HTTP covers browsers and most business tools. SOCKS5 is available where the location supports it, and the protocol of an order can be switched in the console later.
- Plan renewals. Terms are 1, 3, 6 or 12 months. If the IP is on a third-party allowlist, turn on auto-renew from balance so the address does not lapse.
- Budget with live prices. Prices are listed per IP per month, with lower per-IP prices for larger orders; check the pricing page or the console.
Setting it up
Order in the Cloudj console: choose proxies, Singapore, dedicated IPv4, quantity (1 to 1,000 IPs) and term. The order is paid from your account balance and is usually ready in a few minutes.
For command-line tools and many SDKs, the standard environment variables are the quickest way to route traffic through the proxy:
export HTTPS_PROXY="http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT"
export HTTP_PROXY="$HTTPS_PROXY"
curl https://api.ipify.orgThe curl output should be the Singapore IP. For browsers, setting up a proxy in Chrome and Firefox walks through each option, including a separate browser profile for proxied work so personal browsing stays direct.
If your automation already runs on a server, placing it in the same city keeps the path short. Cloudj has cloud servers in Singapore; a small server there plus a Singapore proxy gives you both a workspace and a stable outbound address.
Credentials are visible in the console, and each view is logged with a notice, so you can see when someone on the team looks up a password. If a password leaks, rotate it from the console; the old one stops working at once.

FAQ
Is a Singapore proxy good for checking Vietnamese or Indonesian sites?
It shows the Singapore version. For Vietnam, use a Vietnam proxy. Cloudj does not offer proxies in Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia or the Philippines.
Does Cloudj have residential IPs in Singapore?
No. Singapore has dedicated IPv4 proxies, which are static ISP-registered IPs for one customer. The static residential ISP type is available only in the United States and Vietnam.
Can several team members share one Singapore IP?
Yes, if your tools and their terms allow it. Use an IP whitelist for fixed office or server addresses, or share credentials carefully and rotate the password when people leave.
What if I order and the IPs do not suit my tools?
Within 24 hours of ordering you can stop the order and get the unused part back. If an order cannot be set up at all, the full amount returns to your balance.
Getting started
If your team needs one steady Southeast Asia address for regional tools, ad checks or Singapore marketplaces, a few dedicated Singapore IPs are a practical start. Check stock and live prices in the Cloudj console, and add country-specific IPs where a market needs its own view.
