Residential Proxies – an Ultimate Solution for Data Collection

With the proxy industry developing rapidly, more and more different types of proxy networks emerge. This article covers all the aspects of residential proxies.

What is a Residential Proxy?

A usual proxy is an intermediary server that routes requests between a client and a destination server. 

A single residential proxy is a device with an IP address that comes from a residential ISP (Internet Service Provider) or an end-user device. What is special about residential proxy networks is that there are real people behind those IP addresses. As a result, your actions appear to be made by regular internet users. 

What are the Types of Residential Proxies?

1. Rotating Residential Proxies 

Rotating residential proxies also known as Dynamic or P2P, these proxies are gathered in large pools to be able to rotate between each other. These residential IPs usually come from end-user devices and are used to effectively hide your identity behind real people’s IPs.

2. Static Residential Proxies

Static ISP proxies come directly from ISPs, and they are hosted on ISP servers, not end-user devices. So, in contrast to the rotating proxies, the static ones can maintain availability and allow for long sessions.

Residential vs. Datacenter Proxies

Residential Proxies are often compared with Datacenter proxies. Here are some key differences:
