Understand how Residential, DC and ISP proxies work.
A proxy acts as a gateway between you and the internet. This means that all requests you send through a proxy (with a bot, proxy browser, etc... ) will be sent through that proxy.
This is useful when using automation tools in order to perform actions like purchasing limited stock items from a website. If you used the software without proxies (on your local address), you run the risk of site bans by being detected sending an enormous amount of requests coming from the same IP. Proxies mask these requests by sending them all through different IPs.
Residential proxies are the most versatile. These proxies and their IPs are acquired from real devices over all the world.
✅ Advantages of residential proxies:
Huge pools of IP’s:
Since residential proxies are acquired from real devices all over the world, some providers have up to 40M different IPs to choose from.
Lower risk of bans:
Since these IPs come from real devices, they are more human-like, so the risk of an anti-bot detecting and banning them is lower.
Versatility
Proxies can be generated from a host of custom pools, allowing you to better target certain sites and use cases. Other providers such as Koch even include an aio pool, allowing the provider to pick the best proxies for the presented situation.
❌ Disadvantages of residential proxies:
