Simply put, a proxy is a device connected to the internet with its own IP address. It works as an intermediary between you and the rest of the internet. A proxy handles all your requests and keeps your IP concealed while providing various other useful functions along with privacy and security benefits depending on your needs.
Free proxies are everywhere, and they can be tempting. After all, you do not have to pay anything to use the service. However, it might not be what it seems. Free proxies often cause more trouble than they’re worth. You might find them ridiculously slow as most providers rarely pay attention to their functionality. Lastly, some providers use free proxies as a scam to steal user data and sell it to third parties.
A residential proxy uses an IP address assigned to a device by an internet service provider (ISP) along with its physical location. A residential proxy replaces your IP address with its own, hiding your identity online and maintaining your anonymity. They're a perfect choice for market survey, ad verification, and other scenarios where preserving your anonymity is a must.
