Residential proxies are proxy servers that use IP addresses provided by internet service providers (ISPs) and/or associated with real user devices—laptops, smartphones, etc. This allows you to change your apparent geolocation to test websites and services from different regions.
Resident proxies have many advantages and areas of application, such as:
- Checking the display of websites and advertising from different regions (geo-testing).
- Web scraping and collection of publicly available data from open sources.
- Monitoring prices, product range, and search results.
- Conducting marketing research and competitor analysis.
- Verification of advertising campaigns (ad verification) in different geos.
Unlike server proxies, residential proxies are considered more reliable due to their similarity to regular user traffic, which reduces the number of false positives for website security systems. Proxyma’s pool includes IP addresses from thousands of locations worldwide, allowing you to flexibly select the right region and provider for your specific needs.
