I. Overview of Proxy IPs

Proxy IPs, that is, the IP address on the proxy server, allow users to access the Internet through this address while hiding or replacing the user's real IP address. There are many types of proxy IPs, the most common of which are residential IPs and non-residential IPs. Residential IPs usually come from the network connection of ordinary home users, while non-residential IPs may come from data centers, corporate networks, or other non-home environments.

II. The difference between residential IPs and non-residential IPs

Different sources: Residential IPs come from real home networks, while non-residential IPs may come from large data centers or corporate networks.

Stability differences: Since residential IPs are used by ordinary users, their stability may be affected by user behavior and network environment, while non-residential IPs are relatively stable because they usually have more powerful infrastructure and bandwidth.

Anonymity differences: Residential IPs are relatively more difficult to track and identify because they are usually associated with real user behavior, while non-residential IPs are more easily identified as proxies or VPN connections.

Different usage scenarios: Residential IPs are usually used in scenarios that require simulating real user behavior, such as crawlers, SEO optimization, etc.; while non-residential IPs are more suitable for scenarios that require large amounts of data transmission or stable connections.

III. How to accurately identify residential and non-residential IPs

IP address analysis: By analyzing the allocation range and organization of an IP address, you can preliminarily determine whether it is a residential IP. For example, certain IP address segments are assigned to ISPs (Internet Service Providers), which usually provide home network services.

Behavior pattern analysis: Residential IPs usually have similar behavior patterns to human users, such as access time, access frequency, access content, etc. By analyzing these behavior patterns, you can further verify whether the IP address is a residential IP.

Reverse query technology: Using reverse query technology, you can query the organization, geographic location, and other information of the IP address. If the query result shows that the IP address belongs to a certain ISP or home network, it is likely a residential IP.

Third-party tools and services: There are currently some third-party tools and services on the market that are specifically used to identify proxy IPs and residential IPs. These tools and services are usually based on big data analysis and machine learning algorithms, which can more accurately identify residential IPs.
