Residential Proxies

How do you define a residential proxy?

The moment you buy a residential proxy server, you will get a proxy assigned to you by an Internet Service Provider (ISP). This allows proxies to be used as residential IPs for as long as you need. Residential proxies make sure that you are provided with static addresses for all missions.

Do you offer a free trial period on residential proxies before I commit?

Yes, we certainly provide you with a two-day free trial period on our best residential proxies before you commit. The terms of trial may vary depending on your mission, so make sure you consult with our support team.

Do you guarantee the best price in the industry for your residential proxies?

We are on a constant lookout for our competitors and offer the most optimized residential proxies pricing policy among all residential proxy providers. Our goal is to maintain the best performance-to-price ratio in the industry.

What is the duration of a residential proxy?

That depends on the type of proxy. In case of sticky sessions it can be from several seconds to several minutes, and if you opt for rotating proxies, the IPs will change with each session.

How to set up and use residential proxies?

This process is pretty much straight-forward. To set up your residential http proxy in a browser you should go to advanced network settings and copy and paste the proxy credentials from your provider’s dashboard. In our easy-to-use dashboard you will have access to all your IPs and username-password combinations for authentication.

Where can I use residential IP addresses?

Residential proxies are optimum for all types of proxy-related use cases with geo-restrictions. So, when you want to conduct a scraping mission for lead generation or market research of a certain region or area, you will need a dedicated residential IP address. Residential proxies are perfect when you need to see exactly how your ads are performing, for instance, in a defined geographical area. Also, if you need to place orders for some rare merchandise (for instance, top selling sneakers), with residential proxies you will be able to do it safely and reliably.

Can I choose IPs by country and city?

Most certainly. You can always specify the country or city requirements for your proxies to our account managers, and they will provide you with a set of most suitable residential proxies to be used for such a region. We have most of the frequently requested areas (countries and cities) available in our residential proxy networks to choose from for successful online missions.

What is the most common use case for residential proxies?

Residential proxies are perfect for highly secured and loaded websites. Users normally buy residential proxy servers for mission-critical scraping of social networks and/or accessing streaming websites.

Scraping safety is my major concern. Can I use your IP addresses for scraping?

You can feel absolutely confident when using our residential IPs for scraping. This includes using proxies inside bots and software tools for providing anonymous access.

I feel a bit nervous using a single residential proxy servers provider. Is it OK?

We provide protected residential proxy services through conducting all necessary tests of all our residential IPs in our proxy network to make sure that they are reliable in their performance. We also maintain round-the-clock support of our residential proxy network and handle all issues related to our proxy performance when necessary.

What if I want to use bots without residential proxies?

In this case your computer will be easily detected and your activity will be traced. You will be banned from the site once your IP is tracked.

Can I track my proxy usage?

Yes, of course. You will be able to track the proxy usage that you buy from us. In your dashboard (available from your profile) you will have access to all statistics relevant to using your proxies.

Are residential proxies good?

If by “good” you mean they are worth the money, then yes! They will be absolutely irreplaceable when you need to overcome geo-restrictions on some websites. And even if with datacenter proxies you have much higher scraping performance or speed, with residential IPs you will be on a much safer side in terms of exposing your presence. In other words, for some missions you will not be able to find an alternative to residential proxy service.
