A residential proxy is an intermediary server between you and the website you’re trying to access. This server has an IP address that’s been provided by an Internet Service Provider (ISP), not a data center. Each residential IP is a real mobile or desktop device that pinpoints 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.
The most important things to consider before actually buying residential proxies from any provider:
1. Look into how much traffic, proxy pool size, and proxy speeds you’re going to need
2. Check the geo-locations on offer
3. Compare the pricing
4. Learn about customer support in case you run into any trouble
5. Consider whether you’re going to need sticky proxies or advanced rotation
By the way, don’t get seduced by free proxies – they entail cybersecurity risks and have low performance. Look for cheap residential proxies from reliable providers.
Yes, you can! Our residential proxies fully support the SOCKS5 protocol. When you get a residential proxy plan on Smartproxy, you can choose between the HTTP(s) or SOCKS5 protocol. Learn more about SOCKS5 here.
