The Fastest Residential Proxies

A residential proxy is an intermediary that uses an IP address provided by an Internet Service Provider.

You can access residential proxies through country-specific or city-specific ports. Use your login credentials (username and password) or whitelisted IPs.

You can integrate Smartproxy proxies with all major automation bots. If your software runs on a dedicated server or your local machine, simply add the machine’s IP to your list of whitelisted IPs. Find integrations on our site.

Our dashboard is intuitive, and our start guide is full of helpful information, including practical explanations and detailed instructions. If you have any questions, our live chat is always just a click away!

Yes, you can. Once you have a subscription plan in the dashboard, go to the Sub-users tab and create a sub-user. You will be able to set limits, dedicate traffic for different tasks, locations, etc., for every sub-user.

Free proxies aren’t safe – there’s no guarantee that your data will not be shared with third parties. However, we guarantee your privacy, and if you’re not satisfied with our product, you can get a refund during the first three days of using our proxies.

Residential proxies are true mobile or desktop devices that act as your intermediary servers. They have all aspects of real internet users, such as ISP attribution, no subnetworks, or other tell-tale signs of a proxy network. Thus, you can scale any operation almost indefinitely, especially when you can access millions of these nodes.

What’s more – on Smartproxy’s residential proxy network, you are allowed to send unlimited concurrent (simultaneous) connection requests. That means your scraper can access all the pages you need in no time. Advanced rotation is what makes our proxies unbeatable.

And if that wasn’t enough, with us, you will no longer need to import any proxy lists – all you need is a single endpoint.

Static residential proxies don’t use real device IPs – they’re technically the same as datacenter proxies. Since an Internet Service Provider assigns their IP, they do look like they belong to real people. Contrary to the name, these proxies can rotate – it all depends on the provider. You can read more about static and rotating residential proxies.

Yes, a proxy is an IP address. When you use proxies, these different IPs hide your real IP and protect your data and identity from getting leaked to third parties.

You can choose to use an auction or marketplace for that – there are plenty of them out there that are willing to pay you for your IP address (e.g. IPv4.Global, Prefix Broker, Hilco Streambank, etc.). You can also sell it directly to a business of your choice.

Residential and datacenter IPs are perfectly legal to use for a variety of purposes. However, be aware that some websites are illegal to scrape – don’t abuse your proxies and be conscious of pirating restrictions. We also recommend considering whether you’re going to need advanced rotation or sticky sessions.

Pay As You Go is a payment system that allows you to use residential proxies without buying a monthly subscription. You can access Pay As You Go on the dashboard and purchase GBs for Smartproxy's residential proxies with it.

This payment system is only available with Smart Wallet. Thus you have to top up your Smart Wallet, and only then you'll be able to use Pay As You Go. With Pay As You Go, 1GB costs $12.5 (note that one Smart Wallet credit equals one dollar), and you can purchase only one GB at a time. 

Keep in mind that you can't have a monthly subscription plan and Pay As You Go simultaneously. Read more about Pay As You Go here.
