Which networks do Iraqi residential IPs come from?
Iraq's home internet is fragmented. Earthlink is one of the largest private providers, the state company ITPC runs the backbone, and many local resellers sell fibre and fixed-wireless links on top. Mobile data comes mainly from Zain Iraq and Asiacell, on 4G; a new state-backed operator is being set up to launch 5G. An IP lookup after connecting shows the provider, which may be a small local network rather than a household name.
Iraq has about 47 million people. The Kurdistan Region around Erbil and Sulaymaniyah uses Kurdish alongside Arabic and has its own providers. MENA Proxies publishes no Iraq IP count; the dashboard shows live availability.
What do teams check from Iraqi IPs?
- Ads aimed at Iraq or at the Kurdistan Region, in Arabic or Kurdish. Campaigns can target Iraq as a whole or one region; a check from Erbil and one from Baghdad show whether each language version reaches its area. See ad verification.
- Local e-commerce and delivery apps such as Miswag and Lezzoo, with prices in IQD.
- Search results in Arabic and Kurdish. See SERP tracking.
- App QA for IQD prices and right-to-left layouts in two scripts. See geo-testing.
How do I connect with an Iraqi IP?
Use gw.menaproxies.com on port 7777 (HTTP and HTTPS) or 7778 (SOCKS5) with the username USERNAME-country-iq. Add -city-erbil or -city-baghdad when IPs are online in that city. Because Iraqi supply is smaller and less stable than in the Gulf, keep sessions short and retry on a new IP rather than waiting on a slow one. See the getting started guide.
What does an Iraqi home IP cost per GB?
Iraq costs the same as every other country: $1.88 for 1 GB, $5.94 for 10 GB and $50 for 100 GB, as of October 2026. Traffic never expires, so time lost to a shutdown does not cost you traffic.
Plans and the payment terms are on the pricing page; the rules by country list the crypto rules for residents.
Iraq residential proxies: questions
Can I target Erbil or Baghdad?
Add -city-erbil or -city-baghdad after country-iq; it works when the pool has home IPs online in that city. Country targeting alone gives an IP anywhere in Iraq, which may be in either the Kurdistan Region or the rest of the country.
What happens during an internet shutdown?
No Iraqi home IP is online, so requests with country-iq fail until access returns. You are billed only for traffic that passes through the gateway, so a failed run costs little. Plan long Iraqi runs outside exam periods.
Is there 5G in Iraq?
Not commercially as of October 2026. Zain Iraq and Asiacell run 4G networks, and a new state-backed operator is being prepared to launch 5G. This affects mobile ports, not residential traffic.
Do I need to send ID?
No. MENA Proxies asks for no ID, no selfie and no documents. Account-number login; email is optional.
