What Is a Residential Proxy?

A residential proxy routes your requests through IP addresses assigned by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to real homes. Unlike data-center proxies, these IPs appear as genuine residential traffic, making them far less likely to be flagged or blocked by target websites. Residential proxies are essential for:

• Bypassing geo-restrictions
• Avoiding IP blacklists
• Maintaining high success rates on large-scale scraping tasks
