Residential Proxy

Residential Proxy is a type of proxy that uses real IP addresses provided by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to households and individuals. In other words, these are “real” IP addresses assigned to devices connected to the internet at users’ homes.

How it works

When you use a residential proxy, your internet traffic is routed through a real device in a household, instead of through a data center server like other types of proxies. This makes your requests look like they are coming from a regular internet user, helping you stay anonymous and avoid being blocked by websites.

Advantages of residential proxies

High reliability: Because it uses real IP addresses, residential proxies are less likely to be suspected and blocked by websites compared to other types of proxies.
High anonymity: Helps you effectively anonymize and protect your privacy when accessing the internet.
IP rotation capability: Many residential proxy services offer IP rotation, allowing you to change your IP address regularly, further increasing anonymity.
Access geo-restricted content: You can use residential proxies to access content that is only available in certain countries or regions.

Disadvantages

High cost: Residential proxies are usually more expensive than other types of proxies.
Speed can be slower: Because traffic is routed through residential devices, speeds can be slower than data center proxies.

Applications

Web scraping: Collect data from websites without being blocked.
SEO: Check keyword rankings in different geographic locations.

Using online services: Purchase airline tickets, movie tickets, etc. from websites that limit the number of tickets per IP address.
