FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

Residential proxies are proxy servers that use IP addresses provided by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and/or are hosted on real (residential) devices such as laptops, desktop computers, smartphones, and more. They allow users to hide their real IP address and change their geolocation.

Residential proxies offer numerous advantages and use cases, such as:

• Ensuring online anonymity for users and protecting them from tracking.
• Bypassing geographical restrictions and accessing blocked resources and content.
• Enhancing web scraping and anonymously collecting publicly available data from open sources.
• Managing multiple social media accounts or bots without raising suspicion or risking de-anonymization.
• Running various advertising campaigns.

Unlike data center proxies, residential proxies are considered more reliable and better protected against tracking. The residential proxy market offers a vast number of IP addresses across thousands of locations worldwide, making them nearly impossible to block. Another advantage of residential proxies is that they can support multiple IP addresses simultaneously, enabling hundreds of connections to be deployed automatically from a single location.
