Residential Proxy Servers
Residential proxy servers offer you a different IP address, in case the current one doesn't work anymore or you set up IP auto-rotation in your proxy control. IP addresses can be updated at a certain time interval (minutes), after a certain number of requests, or when the IP address you use becomes unavailable. The management system of the proxy servers controls when and how you will be assigned new IP addresses. Residential proxy servers select addresses from a range of home IP addresses. Users decide to connect their devices to this network in exchange for a free or ad-free app.
Residential proxy servers have several advantages.
Firstly, residential proxy servers use IP addresses taken from millions of home devices, which makes it possible to do geographic targeting up to the level of a city or state. The second advantage is that the combination of residential IP addresses and legal home device IP addresses makes residential IP addresses quite difficult to detect.
How to set up residential proxies
- Go to Dashboard and select your order with Residential proxies.
