Residential Proxy
A proxy whose IPs come from consumer ISPs (residential broadband, mobile). Harder to detect than datacenter, but slower and more expensive.
A residential proxy routes traffic through IP addresses that consumer ISPs assigned to home or mobile users. To the destination, a residential proxy request looks exactly like any other home internet visitor — because that is what the IP belongs to.
The tradeoff versus datacenter proxies: residential is significantly harder for anti-bot platforms to fingerprint as proxy traffic (the ASN is Comcast or Vodafone, not a known datacenter). The cost is substantially higher (often billed per gigabyte at $3–$15/GB), and the connections are slower and less stable because they ride on consumer broadband.
Residential proxies are the right tool when targets explicitly block datacenter ASNs or aggressively fingerprint datacenter traffic. For most workloads, datacenter proxies are faster, cheaper, and effective.
