Residential proxies

Residential proxies are hosted on real home devices. They are ideal for working with many home-ISP IP addresses and support fine-grained targeting down to operator selection. You can review product restrictions here.

Unused traffic does not expire at the end of the month. It remains on the order until it is fully used.

Addresses are issued on real home IPs. A session can change at any moment if the device in the pool leaves the traffic-sharing network. If you need a static IP, see Datacenter or ISP proxies.

How to start using them?

The cost of Residential proxies is calculated based on the number of gigabytes purchased for the order. To access country selection and other parameters, you need to purchase an order. To do this, go to the page and specify the number of gigabytes.

Settings field description

Inside the order, you can find several important items and options. Let's review them.

Traffic used - How much has been used \ How much has been purchased

Country - Country selection

Region - Country region selection

City - Region city selection

ISP - Provider type selection. Available only for Premium Residential.

Device OS - Filters the Premium Residential pool by device operating system. Select the required OS to receive proxies from devices with the corresponding OS. Available only for Premium Residential.

This setting significantly reduces the pool of available devices. We recommend using it only when targeting cities with more than one million residents, or when targeting at country or region level.

Session - Session type selection. Available options are Sticky and Rotate.

• Sticky allows you to keep one IP address and depends on the selected TTL parameter.

• Rotate changes the IP on every request. The IP range pool for Sticky is smaller than for Rotate.

Session mode - A session management parameter available only for Premium Residential.

• Default (5 sec) changes the session if the device does not respond for more than 5 seconds.

• Static does not change the session and waits for the device to return to the network for the time specified in TTL. If TTL is not set, the session is fixed for one day.

Protocol - HTTP/SOCKS. These are the main protocols for connecting to the proxy server.

TTL - Appears when Session - Sticky is selected and controls the IP address lifetime (Time to live). The minimum possible TTL is 60 seconds (1 minute).

Relay - Set only if there are connection issues.

Username\Password\Host\Port - Connection data. It is also generated in the proxy list and supports conditional formatting.

Proxy ports do not affect the final address you receive. They are simply the port number for the remote proxy server and nothing more!

Traffic Statistics - Per-minute statistics for used traffic. Display may be delayed by 10-20 minutes.

At the end of the order, you can find request statistics for your Residential traffic. In rare cases, display delays of up to 20 minutes may occur.

Setup guide

1. Specify the settings: Country, Region, and other parameters if needed.

1. The HTTP or SOCKS5 protocol is set at your discretion (as a rule, SOCKS5 is used for UDP).

1. The server (Relay) is specified only if there are connection issues.

1. Other parameters are set if needed.

1. Click the button and copy the proxies from Proxy List.

Later, if you need another country, specify new settings, click , and reinstall the new proxies in the application from which the connection is made.

Additional information about connection formatting is available at this link.

Proxies in "Proxy List" are not saved because this is a dynamic field. You can generate many proxies for different locations: old proxies will not stop working when new proxies are generated.

What tasks they fit

Pros and cons of Residential proxies

Pros:

• Flexible billing - Pay as you go or an unlimited subscription (Unlimited)

• IP rotation - change addresses on demand or by timer (TTL)

• Wide geo-targeting - select country, region, city and operator

• Home-origin addresses - IPs are registered to home ISPs

• UDP support - available on Standard and Unlimited (except the USA location)

Cons:

• Possible speed drops - depends on the internet quality of the end device; this is a specific of the product

• Dynamic IP - the address may change at any moment; if you need a static IP, see ISP or Datacenter

• p0f spoofing is unavailable - Premium Residential offers only Device OS filtering

• UDP is unavailable in the USA location on Standard and Unlimited

No UDP or need a static address? ISP proxies cover both.
