What are Residential Proxies?
On the other hand, residential proxies are IP addresses tied to a physical address (mostly home addresses – hence, residential).
Specifically, they were issued to homeowners by ISPs. It means they can easily be traced, and since they are traceable, many websites trust and consider them as legitimate.
For this reason, a residential proxy is a far better alternative when looking to access a site anonymously, with fewer chances of getting blocked.
How Residential Proxies work?
The residential proxy network works by masking your actual IP address, and it does this by channeling your internet traffic through third-party servers.
The server’s main objective is to generate a pseudo-residential IP address for you, and the IPs appear as though they are coming from an actual home location or device.
To better understand the concept of residential proxies, consider the following illustration;
Out of the box, an IP address tied to a physical location in the target area would be created and used to mask your actual IP. That way, the website holding the content will “think” your HTTP request is coming from within that location and appear as a residential address with a high trust score.
