A residential proxy is an intermediary server between you and the website you’re trying to access. This server has an IP address provided by an Internet Service Provider (ISP), not a data center. Each residential IP is a real mobile or desktop device pinning a certain physical location. To any site, traffic coming from residential proxies looks like a request from an ordinary person residing in any corner of the globe. This makes our residential proxy network highly effective and immune to blocks.

To know how residential proxies differ from datacenter ones, you need to know how they are made. 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.

However, datacenter proxies are usually produced in data centers or cloud hosting services and tied in subnets. Since they aren’t with any ISP provider, datacenter proxies are prone to IP blocks and such. On the other hand, datacenter IPs are faster and more stable.
