What is a Residential IP Proxy? How do they work?

Rose . 2023-12-22

Do you not want to be blacklisted or blocked when using proxy hunting? Residential proxy is the best choice today! Why? We've written an in-depth guide just for that!

 

Are you wondering about residential proxies and residential IP addresses? It's not news that proxies can help hide IP addresses, so proxies can perform activities like web scraping and scraping, social automation, and SEO without being blocked.

Yet websites are getting smarter at detecting and blocking proxies. This is because as proxy usage increases, so does the abuse of proxies, making them a target for website blacklists.

Despite the proliferation of website IP blacklists, some IP addresses are not censored—namely, residential IP addresses. These types of proxies are linked to home addresses and therefore, are trusted compared to virtual proxies or data center proxies. They have been targeted by proxy providers and have been used for identity masking.

 

Residential IPs They can be used in real households. IP addresses are assigned by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to their subscribers. Those IP addresses that are tied to a home address are called residential IP addresses.

 

This means that if you browse the Internet with a residential IP address, your exact home address can be given to the website you are visiting. Due to the precision of location, most websites trust residential IP addresses and don't check them as closely as they do other forms of IP.

 

Here's the deal, proxy providers jump at the opportunity to sell those IP addresses to people so they can browse the internet using their confirmed locations. How it works is simple. If you're using a residential proxy, when you make an HTTP request to a website, that request is sent to the proxy server, which then routes your request to the website through someone else's residential address.

 

Residential proxy providers have a pool of IP addresses. When you make a web request to a website through a residential proxy server, they pick any available IP address from their pool and route the request to the website through them.

For residential proxies, they change the IP address used for connections based on web requests or at specified times.

 

When IPs are rotated by session or request, every web request you send will be routed through a different IP address. This is specific to web scraping, where you send lots of requests per minute. With this kind of rotation, websites don't even have reason to suspect.

 

 

Apparently residential proxies are more reliable because they utilize someone else's internet connection, and they have almost no problems.

Their internet connection speed is mainly dependent on the connection speed of the residential IP used. Also, when device owners shut down their Internet connection, the connection is sometimes lost.

 

How do proxy providers get their residential IP?

Residential proxy providers have a large number of residential IP addresses in their IP pools.

It also provides country, city, and state-level geographic location, which means that users can choose the most suitable server according to their needs, and get the best connection and experience.

 

Residential proxy addresses are some of the best proxies to hide your real IP address while doing your online marketing research and data collection efforts.

Since they use real IP addresses issued by their ISPs to real devices, and these IP addresses are associated with residential addresses, they have become a tool of choice among advertising agencies and premium web scraping services.
