Targeting granularity
| Level | Example | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Country | South Korea (KR) | Broad crawls, coverage tests |
| City | Seoul, Busan, Incheon | Local pricing, store locators |
| ISP | KT, SK Broadband, LG U+ | Carrier-sensitive checks |
| Session | Rotating or sticky | Stateless crawl vs logged-in flow |
Targeting is set in the credential string, so a single IPIDEA account can drive dozens of KR configurations in parallel without extra provisioning.
Connecting from South Korea
HTTP / HTTPS / SOCKS5 all run on the same credentials. Point a browser profile, a Python client or a headless fleet at the gateway, set the KR parameters, and the request leaves from South Korea. Sticky sessions up to 30 minutes keeps carts, logins and multi-step forms intact; rotation is per request when you need volume instead of continuity.
How teams use KR exits
IPIDEA customers point South Korea traffic at four recurring jobs: data collection, brand protection, ad verification and localized QA. Because the pool covers 220+ regions, an KR project can be widened to neighbouring markets without a second contract.
- Regional pricing — capture list prices, promotions and shipping rules as they appear inside South Korea.
- Ad and SERP verification — confirm creatives and organic placements render for KR viewers.
- Availability checks — watch stock and delivery windows per metro rather than per country.
- Compliance sweeps — document what a South Korea user actually sees, with timestamps.
Frequently asked questions
Are IPIDEA South Korea IPs residential?
Yes. KR exits sit on consumer lines from providers such as KT, SK Broadband, LG U+. Datacenter capacity is a separate product line, chosen deliberately rather than mixed in.
Can I target a specific city in South Korea?
Yes — Seoul, Busan, Incheon, Daegu, Daejeon and other metros are selectable. City targeting is set per credential, so different jobs can hold different cities at the same time.
How long can a KR session hold one IP?
Sticky sessions run up to 30 minutes; rotating mode issues a new South Korea IP on every request. Static ISP plans hold the same KR address for the life of the plan.
What does South Korea access cost?
South Korea is priced the same as the rest of the 220+ regions — no premium geo surcharge. Traffic plans start at $5 and per-IP plans are billed per address.
