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

Resident proxies have many benefits and uses, such as:

• Ensuring the user’s online anonymity and protecting them from tracking.
• Bypass geographic restrictions and access blocked resources and content.
• Improved web scraping and anonymized collection of publicly available data from open sources.
• Manage multiple social media accounts or bots, without suspicion or risk of deanonymization.
• Launching various advertising campaigns.

Unlike server proxies, resident proxies are considered more reliable and more secure from tracking. The resident proxy market has a large number of IP address offerings in thousands of locations around the globe, and this is what makes it impossible to block them. Another advantage of resident proxies is that they can have multiple IP addresses at once, allowing hundreds of connections to be automatically deployed from a single location.

After purchasing the tariff, you get access to more than 110 million IP addresses collected legally and ethically from all corners of the world. It is important to note that the availability of IP addresses at a particular time is affected by the following factors: time of day and proxy list settings.

No, the IP address of the resident proxy is not stored on your computer. When you purchase and use a proxy, your computer connects to a proxy server that redirects your Internet traffic through its IP address. This IP address belongs to the proxy server, not your computer.

Your computer only retains the proxy connection settings that allow it to send traffic through the proxy server. The IP address of the proxy server itself is not stored on your device as part of its configuration. Instead, each time you make a request, your computer uses the specified proxy IP address to access the Internet, hiding your real IP address from the sites and services you interact with.

Once you pay for proxies on the website, you will have access to them almost instantly. The process usually takes only a few minutes as the automated system processes the order and provides you with the necessary data to connect to the proxies.

If there are any delays, they may be due to payment verification, but in most cases the proxies become available immediately after the transaction is completed.

When creating a list of dynamic resident proxies, two authorization options are available for users: by login and password or by the list of IP addresses specified in the corresponding field when creating the proxy list. When selecting the “by IP list” authorization method, it is enough to connect to the proxy using the previously specified list of IP addresses. However, users can also use the proxy using login/password from devices with other IP addresses.

Important condition!

Each IP address listed in the list of authorized IP addresses can be specified only once. To reuse this IP address, when creating a proxy list, you must delete the previously created proxy list in which this IP address was included in the list of allowed IP addresses.

This type of rotation is available only for Dynamic Proxies. For dynamic proxies, the Prosox platform provides the ability to select the rotation period according to the following conditions: without rotation (sticky session), on a per-request basis or on a time basis (every 5, 10, 15 or 20 minutes). Due to the way resident proxy technology works, this approach is a much more stable, faster and easier way to replace an IP address than replacing it manually.

Yes, you can test the proxy on the site before buying it. It is enough to write to the support team the reason for using it.

There are tariffs with a trial period, which allows you to evaluate the quality of services without the need for full prepayment.

You can also get resident proxies with limited traffic volume for a small amount of money, which gives you an opportunity to test their performance and functionality.

We strictly control the quality of our proxies, guaranteeing their uniqueness and excluding any duplicates. Our system ensures uninterrupted rotation of active IP addresses, automatically removes unused servers and promptly updates IP addresses, which allows us to provide stable and reliable services.
