Social Media Proxies

Residential proxies are proxy servers that use IP addresses provided by internet service providers (ISPs) and/or are located on real (residential) devices, such as laptops, desktops, smartphones, etc. They allow users to connect via an IP address from another region and obtain a local access point for the desired geolocation.

Residential proxies have many advantages and applications, including:

• Increasing connection privacy and reducing tracking when working with public data.
• Testing geo-dependent websites and services from the desired region, verifying localized search results and content.
• Increasing the efficiency of web scraping and collecting publicly available data from open sources.
• Distributed load testing and API integrations from different IP addresses.
• Launching advertising campaigns in different regions.

Unlike server proxies, residential proxies are considered more reliable and better protected from tracking. The residential proxy market offers IP addresses in thousands of locations worldwide, providing a wide selection of connection points for various tasks. Another advantage of residential proxies is that they can have multiple IP addresses at once, allowing for scalable parallel connections for data collection and SEO monitoring.

By purchasing a plan, you gain access to over 110 million IP addresses collected legally and ethically from all over the world. It’s important to note that the availability of IP addresses at any given time is affected by factors such as time of day and proxy list settings.

No, the residential proxy’s IP address is not stored on your computer. When you buy and use a proxy, your computer connects to the proxy server, which redirects your Internet traffic through its IP address. This IP address belongs to the proxy server, not your computer.

Your computer only stores proxy connection settings that allow it to send traffic through the proxy server. The proxy IP address itself is not stored on your device as part of its configuration. Instead, with each request, your computer uses the specified proxy IP address to access the Internet, passing requests through the server’s IP address rather than directly from your device.

After purchasing proxies on the website, you’ll gain access to them almost instantly. Typically, the process takes just a few minutes, as the automated system processes the order and provides you with the necessary proxy connection details.

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

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

Important!

Each IP address added to the list of allowed IP addresses can only be specified 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 added to the list of allowed IP addresses.

This type of rotation is only available for Dynamic Proxies. For dynamic proxies, the Prosox platform offers the ability to select a rotation period based on the following conditions: no rotation (sticky session), per request, or time-based (every 5, 10, 15, or 20 minutes). Due to the nature of residential proxy technology, this approach is a much more stable, faster, and easier way to change an IP address than manually changing it.

Yes, you can test proxies on our website before purchasing. Simply contact support with the reason for using them.

We offer plans with a trial period, allowing you to evaluate the service without having to make a full upfront payment.

You can also get residential proxies with limited traffic for a small fee, allowing you to test their performance and functionality.

We strictly monitor the quality of our proxies, ensuring their uniqueness and eliminating any duplicates. Our system ensures uninterrupted rotation of active IP addresses, automatically deletes unused servers, and promptly updates IP addresses, allowing us to provide stable and reliable services.
