Why Ecuador
A dollar market led by amazon.com, Temu and Mercado Libre
Ecuador replaced the sucre with the US dollar in 2000, at 25,000 sucres to the dollar, and article 94 of its Monetary and Financial Code still requires transactions and accounts to be expressed in dollars. Ecuadorian prices compare with US ones without any conversion.
Similarweb’s September 2026 ranking of Ecuadorian shopping sites puts amazon.com first, Temu second and mercadolibre.com.ec third, ahead of eBay and AliExpress.
Google handled 92.16% of Ecuadorian searches in September 2026, and 98.40% of those made on phones; Bing had 6.86%, up from 5.03% in October 2025 (StatCounter). Android’s share of mobile page views stayed between 70.48% and 87.55% in every month from October 2025 to September 2026, which makes an Android phone the first device for testing Ecuadorian mobile pages. SERP proxies covers rank checks with gl=ec.
Coverage
Guayaquil, Quito, Cuenca: Ecuador by province
Share of Ecuador’s 16,938,986 people by province at the census of 30 November 2022 (INEC). Guayas and Pichincha, highlighted, hold 44.2% of the people and 54% of fixed internet subscribers. The country key -cc-ec picks an exit anywhere in Ecuador; check the dashboard generator for the provinces and cities on offer.

Towns: urban localities, 2022 census (INEC, compiled by citypopulation.de). Lookups use the GeoNames province names, so Cañar appears as Canar, and Chimborazo, Tungurahua, Pastaza, Orellana and Morona-Santiago end in Province. Exits also come from towns such as Ibarra, Azogues, Tulcán, Puyo, Nueva Loja, Otavalo and Huaquillas. Two databases can place one address in different towns, so look up a city in our IP checker before you depend on it.
Networks
Telconet, UFINET and Claro: the networks behind Ecuadorian homes
APNIC Labs estimates that Telconet’s network, which carries Netlife home internet, reaches 31.43% of Ecuadorian internet users. UFINET, registered as UFINET PANAMA S.A., reaches 13.61%, and Claro’s two networks 17.37% together; a long tail of local ISPs follows.

Mobile
Ecuador’s three mobile operators by lines
Active mobile lines in July 2026 (ARCOTEL): 16,697,343 in all, 77.5% of them prepaid; 14,763,571 had mobile internet. Where the pool has Ecuadorian mobile exits, they are on these three networks; the order page shows availability.
ARCOTEL, Reporte Estadístico Mensual, July 2026 (updated 31 August 2026). The same report counts 3,566,403 fixed internet subscribers in June 2026: Megadatos 29.9%, Claro 12.3%, CNT 9.1%, Setel (Xtrim) 8% and other providers 40.8%.

For developers
Pick a province by reading the lookup
Ecuadorian logins carry the country key -cc-ec and, for a sticky exit, -sid- and -time-. The script checks the country of each new exit first, then keeps it only if ipinfo.io names the province you asked for.
import requests, uuid
GATE = "gate.aeonproxy.com:7000"
# Ecuador takes the country key; pick a province by reading the lookup.
# ipinfo.io region names: "Guayas" (Guayaquil, Durán), "Pichincha" (Quito),
# "Azuay" (Cuenca), "Chimborazo Province" (Riobamba)
def ecuador_exit(province=None, tries=8):
for _ in range(tries):
sid = uuid.uuid4().hex[:8]
proxy = f"http://ap_a1b2c3-cc-ec-sid-{sid}-time-21600:PASS@{GATE}"
try:
geo = requests.get("https://ipinfo.io/json", proxies={"http": proxy, "https": proxy}, timeout=15).json()
except requests.RequestException:
continue # no answer: try a new session
if geo.get("country") != "EC":
continue # the country is checked first
if province is None or geo.get("region") == province:
return proxy, geo # this URL keeps the exit for up to 6 hours
return None, None
proxy, geo = ecuador_exit("Pichincha")
if proxy:

# org names the network: "AS27947 Telconet S.A" on a Netlife line, "AS27738 Ecuadortelecom S.A." on Claro-time- takes 60 to 21600 seconds; without -sid- every request rotates. Carrier and ISP keys exist only in the US, the UK and Germany, so read Telconet, Claro or Otecel from the org field.

https://ipinfo.io/jsonAn Ecuadorian quirk
Movistar is turning into Tigo, and lookups say Otecel
Ecuador’s second mobile operator changed owner in 2025 and is changing its name in 2026, while the company that holds the lines, Otecel S.A., stays.
A new owner
Millicom completes its purchase of Telefónica’s Ecuadorian operator, Otecel, for US$380 million.
One brand planned
A plan dated May 2026 has Tigo absorbing both Movistar and Tuenti, the operator’s second brand.
Mi Movistar becomes Mi Tigo Ecuador
Customers receive text messages about the renamed app. Numbers, plans, SIM cards and contracts stay with Otecel S.A., and the Movistar name is phased out gradually.
What a lookup shows
ipinfo.io names the network “AS7315 Otecel S.A.”, neither Movistar nor Tigo. APNIC measures 1.05% of its users as IPv6-capable, against 63.42% on Claro’s mobile network, so expect IPv4 from an Otecel exit.
Data protection and computer crime in Ecuador
The Organic Law on Personal Data Protection (LOPDP) appeared in the Registro Oficial on 26 May 2021, and its sanctions have applied since May 2023: up to 1% of the previous year’s turnover for a company’s serious breaches. The Superintendencia de Protección de Datos Personales issued its first fines in December 2025, US$259,644.01 for LigaPro and US$194,856.16 for the Ecuadorian Football Federation over their fan-ID apps. It also ordered data deleted and 14,398 people told that their consent was invalid.
Article 234 of the Comprehensive Organic Criminal Code (COIP, consolidated text of April 2024) punishes entering a computer, telematic or telecom system against its holder’s will with three to five years in prison; the same penalty applies to using such access to redirect data traffic or to sell the system’s services without paying its legitimate providers. Nothing we read in Ecuadorian law registers, licenses or bans VPN or proxy use. When you collect prices, stock and listings, leave names and phone numbers out.

Ecuador proxy questions
Your requests leave through an address on an Ecuadorian network, so websites treat you as a visitor in Ecuador. Use one to follow prices on Mercado Libre and Patiotuerca, collect Plusvalía listings, check google.com.ec rankings or see your own site as it loads in Ecuador.
382K+ residential IPs in the pool, October 2026; the figure moves as home connections come and go. There is no count of Ecuadorian mobile IPs. Mobile exits run on Claro, Movistar (now Tigo) and CNT where the pool has them, and the order page shows current stock.
Country targeting with -cc-ec is what this page offers; the dashboard generator lists the provinces and cities on offer, where available. You can also filter exits yourself: the Python tab keeps a session only when ipinfo.io reports Pichincha for Quito or Guayas for Guayaquil. Confirm the city of any exit in our IP checker first.
In APNIC’s estimate Telconet’s network, which carries Netlife, reaches the most Ecuadorian users, ahead of UFINET, Claro, Xtrim, Puntonet and Otecel; Fibramax, Alfanet, ETAPA, CNT and CBVision are smaller. Home and mobile connections on these networks supply the exits. Network keys exist only for the US, the UK and Germany, so sort Ecuadorian exits by the ASN in the lookup.
Lookups print the company that registered the network. Netlife’s home lines run on Telconet’s AS27947, so a Netlife customer appears as “Telconet S.A”. UFINET’s AS52468 is registered to UFINET PANAMA S.A., yet 54,528 of the IPv4 addresses it announces sit in blocks registered to Ecuador. Go by the country and city fields.
Gradually. Millicom bought Otecel, the company behind Movistar, on 30 October 2025, and the Mi Movistar app became Mi Tigo Ecuador in late September 2026. Lines stay with Otecel S.A., the name lookups show for AS7315.
Use rotating residential exits for prices, listings and search results. Mobile exits on Claro, Movistar (now Tigo) or CNT suit app checks and phone layouts, at $0.50 per GB above the residential rate. ISP proxies give one static address for the whole rental, for work on your own accounts within platform rules; check the order page for Ecuadorian stock.
We found no Ecuadorian rule that registers, licenses or bans proxies or VPNs. Breaking into a computer or telecom system, or rerouting its traffic, is a crime under article 234 of the COIP, and personal data you collect falls under the LOPDP, enforced with fines since December 2025. This is not legal advice.
Whoever runs a free proxy can read and store everything you send, and you rarely know who that is. Its ASN tells you what kind of line it is: Telconet, Claro or Xtrim mean an Ecuadorian home or phone line, a hosting company a server. Never send a password through one.
In your browser extension, scraper or HTTP client, enter gate.aeonproxy.com and port 7000, the login ap_a1b2c3-cc-ec and your password. Add -sid-…-time-… for a sticky exit, as in the cURL tab. The docs cover SOCKS5. A free trial exists; the pricing page lists its current terms.
