Residential Proxies Explained

A practical introduction to proxy locations, bandwidth limits, and responsible use.

What a proxy does

A proxy forwards network requests through another endpoint. Residential proxies use addresses associated with residential networks; location and performance can vary, and a proxy does not guarantee anonymity or access to a particular site.

Evaluate a plan

Review the location, bandwidth, expiry, authentication method and intended use before choosing a plan. Protect proxy credentials as you would a password, and use any service only with authorization and in accordance with applicable terms.

Availability

Residential proxies offer high-speed, reliable routing with instant credential generation upon checkout.
