Residential proxies
Residential proxies are proxies hosted on real home devices, with support for UDP in packages Standart\Unlimited. They are ideal for working with many IP addresses from home ISPs with fine targeting support up to selecting the operator.
How do they work?
The cost of residential proxies is calculated based on the number of gigabytes purchased for the order.
To get access to country selection and other parameters, you need to purchase the order. To do this, go to the 
page and specify the number of gigabytes
Description of settings fields
In the order itself you can find several important items and options, let's consider them
Traffic used - How much spent \ How much purchased
Country - Country selection
Region - Selection of the country's region
City - Selection of the region's city
ISP - Selection of provider type (Temporarily unavailable)
Session - Selection of session type, you can choose from Sticky and Rotate.
Sticky allows you to keep one IP address and depends on the selected TTL parameter.
Rotate changes the IP on each request. The pool of IP ranges at Sticky is smaller than at Rotate
Protocol - HTTP/SOCKS. These are the main protocols for establishing a connection with the proxy server.
TTL - This parameter appears when choosing Session - Sticky and is responsible for the lifetime of the proxy address (Time to live). The minimum possible TTL can be 60, TTL equal to 60, means that the proxy address will be changed after 1 minute (or 60 seconds).
Relay - Is set only in cases where there is no connection
Username\Password\Host\Port - Connection data, also generated in the proxy list and support conditional formatting.
Ports on the proxy do not affect the final received address, it is just the port number for the remote proxy server and nothing more!
Traffic Statistics - Including minute-by-minute breakdown of used traffic, it is made in the most convenient format for you so that it is easier for you to track its usage. There is a 10-20 minute display delay.
At the end of the order, you can find statistics of requests from your residential traffic, in rare cases there may be display delays up to 20 minutes.
Instruction
Specify settings - Country, Region and other parameters if necessary
Protocol HTTP or SOCKS5 is set at your discretion
Server (Relay) is specified only in case of connection problems
Other parameters are set if necessary
Press the button
and copy the proxy from Proxy List
Subsequently, if you need another country, you will need to specify new settings and press 
and reconfigure the new proxies in the application from which the connection is made. Changing settings does not affect old connections
The string contains a very large login because it includes all connection settings. Additional information about connection formatting can be found at the link
Pros and cons of Residential proxies
Pros:
Bypassing exchange and service restrictions
Many crypto exchanges and DeFi platforms impose regional restrictions (for example, Binance restricts access to users from certain countries). With residential proxies you can easily change geolocation by using IP addresses of real users. This helps to work with platforms without the risk of being blocked.
Increased anonymity and protection from tracking
The crypto industry is heavily regulated, and platforms often monitor user activity. Residential proxies mask the real IP, preventing transaction tracking and creating the appearance of activity from different devices and locations.
Bot trading and automation
Trading and arbitrage strategies require many accounts and automated interaction with exchanges. They also allow bots to operate without country selection restrictions and protect against IP bans, since they are not filtered by most fraud systems on the market.
Multi-accounting and anti-detect browsers
Exchanges often use multiple accounts. Residential proxies + anti-detect browsers (for example, Vision, Octo) allow each account to appear unique, reducing the risk of bans.
Access to ICO, IDO and Airdrop
Many projects distribute tokens only to users from certain regions. With proxies you can change location and participate in drops even if access was initially restricted.
Increased security in P2P transactions
When exchanging crypto on P2P platforms (like Binance P2P or LocalBitcoins), they protect against scammers by hiding the real IP and preventing tracking attempts.
Cons:
High cost
Residential proxies are more expensive than data center equivalents. This is because they use IP addresses of real users rather than server resources.
Possible issues with speed and latency
Since requests go through real people's devices, speed may vary depending on network load, proxy location and the quality of the end user's internet connection. For tasks requiring high speed (for example, bot trading), this can be critical and in such situations it is recommended to consider Datacentre or ISP proxies.
Limited uptime of a single IP
IP addresses in residential proxies can change frequently, since users can disconnect their devices from the distribution network. Although we have the ability to increase the rental period by specifying TTL, it is not 100% and usually does not exceed 2 days.
These disadvantages are circumvented by ISP proxies
