Residential proxies route traffic through IP addresses assigned by internet service providers to household connections.
Their main value is consumer-network origin, access to large rotating pools, and detailed location targeting. They are used when datacenter ranges are unsuitable or when requests need IPs from many locations.
Unlike a fixed proxy list, individual residential exit IPs can appear or disappear as devices connect and disconnect. You usually buy access to the provider’s pool and pay for transferred traffic rather than owning a permanent list of IPs.
