Learn more about Residential Proxies
Residential proxies are IP addresses assigned by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to clients. Residential IPs ar legitimate IP addresses that are associated with with a real residential address.
Residential proxies mask clients' actual IP address with another one provided by an Internet Service Provider (ISP). When the client sends a connection request to the target website, the residential proxy server receives the request and forwards it to the target site by masking the client's real IP address. The website sees the request as coming from the residential proxy server's IP address.
Based on IP rotation, residential proxies are divided into two groups: rotating and static residential proxies. Rotating residential proxies automatically and continuously changes the IP addresses. Rotating residential proxy servers allow users can rotate their IP addresses for each request or a set of requests they make via the proxy. This makes it more difficult for websites to detect and block residential IP addresses, as each request appears to originate from a different device.
Static residential proxies remain constant over time, unlike rotating residential proxies that change IP addresses constantly.
Residential proxies can be used for a variety of reasons. Here are some examples of residential proxies applications:
- Ad verification
- Web scraping
- Market price monitoring
- Social media management
- Purchasing sneakers or tickets
Residential proxies provide an extra layer of security between you and the target web server, but they don't encrypt your data. Since their IP addresses are associated by Internet Service Providers, residential proxies provide a high degree of security in terms of IP masking and anonymity than datacenter proxies.
There are many residential proxy providers. If you're looking to use a residential IP address, it is important to use reputable residential proxy provider. You can check for reviews from other users to gain insights into the quality and reliability of the provider's service.
