Residential proxies
Residential proxies are proxies hosted on real home devices, there is support for UDP in packages Standart\Unlimited ( You can view product differences here). 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 amount of gigabytes purchased per 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 look at them
Traffic used - How much spent \ How much purchased
Country - Country selection
Region - Country region selection
City - City selection within the region
ISP - Provider type selection (Temporarily unavailable)
Session - Session type selection, you can choose Sticky and Rotate.
Sticky allows retaining a single IP address and depends on the selected TTL parameter.
Rotate changes the IP on each request. The pool of IP ranges for Sticky is smaller than for Rotate
Protocol - HTTP/SOCKS. These are the main protocols for establishing a connection to the proxy server.
TTL - This parameter appears when selecting 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 a 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 display delay of 10-20 minutes.
At the end of the order, you can find request statistics from your residential traffic; in rare cases there may be display delays up to 20 minutes.
Setup instructions
Specify the settings - Country, Region and other parameters if necessary
Protocol HTTP or SOCKS5 is set at your discretion (usually SOCKS5 is set for UDP)
Server (Relay) is specified only if there are connection problems
Other parameters are set if necessary
Click the
button and copy the proxy from Proxy List
Later, if you need another country, you need to specify new settings and click 
and reapply the new proxies in the application from which the connection is made.
Additional information about connection formatting can be found via the link
Proxies in the "Proxy List" are not saved, as this is a dynamic field. You can generate many proxies from different locations; old ones will not stop working when new proxies are generated.
Differences between Premium\Standard\Unlimited packages
Standard Residential
Proxies represent a pool of devices that have passed not strict address selection filters, have an average number of devices and available countries. This plan is most often chosen for tasks related to process automation, where support for UDP
Unlimited Residential
Proxies represent a pool based on the "Standard" plan. It has all the same countries and devices but has no limits on the amount of traffic spent. Rental is available for "Day", "Half month" and "Month". There is a connection limit, no more than 5000 connections of any type are allowed (ESTAB\FIN_WAIT and others); also with a monthly subscription there is the possibility to increase connections, we will advise more details in Support. This plan is most often chosen for tasks related to process automation with high traffic consumption, where support for UDP
Premium Residential
The premium pool is one of the best IP pools for different goals and tasks; the main advantages of the traffic are:
Flexible targeting choice, up to the operator level
A larger list of available countries, regions, cities
Higher number of IP addresses
The downside of this plan is the lack of UDP and an Unlimited plan.
Pros and cons of Residential proxies
Pros:
Bypass restrictions of exchanges and services
Many crypto exchanges and DeFi platforms introduce 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 blocking.
Increased anonymity and protection from tracking
The crypto industry is heavily regulated, and platforms often track 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 is 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 datacenter counterparts. This is because they use IP addresses of real users, not server resources.
Possible speed issues and latency
Since requests pass 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 sharing 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 drawbacks are mitigated by ISP proxies
