A residential proxy essentially routes your Internet traffic through a mediation server. The proxy server assigns you an alternate IP through which all server requests can be transmitted.

Note that the assigned standby IP address belongs to the real device. When you make a search request, it is routed through your residential proxy to the resource server. This way, your real IP is hidden, and the site treats your activities as those of any other ordinary user.
Depending on the provider, the ideal residential proxy package provides country-specific, city-specific options, and all requests should be secure with HTTPS encryption.
