Residential Proxy
A residential proxy uses IP addresses assigned to real residential locations by Internet Service Providers (ISPs). This makes requests appear more legitimate and less likely to be blocked or flagged compared to datacenter proxies. Residential proxies are commonly used for web scraping, ad verification, and accessing geo-restricted content.
What is a Residential Proxy?
A residential proxy is a type of proxy that routes internet traffic through devices with residential IP addresses. These IPs are assigned by ISPs to homeowners, making requests appear as if they come from real people in specific locations. Residential proxies are used for tasks that require high anonymity or need to bypass geo-restrictions and anti-bot measures. The justification of their usage is often questionable as they can be employed for both legitimate and illegitimate purposes.
