What is a Residential Proxy?

A residential proxy is a proxy server that uses IP addresses assigned by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to real residential devices, making your web requests appear as genuine household traffic. Unlike datacenter proxies, residential IPs carry the trust score of legitimate consumer connections, dramatically reducing detection rates when accessing protected websites.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a residential proxy?

A residential proxy uses IP addresses assigned by Internet Service Providers to real household devices. These IPs carry the trust score of legitimate consumer connections, making them ideal for accessing protected websites without triggering anti-bot systems.

How does ProxyHat source residential IPs ethically?

ProxyHat sources all residential IPs through opt-in partnerships where device owners explicitly consent to share their bandwidth. We never use botnets, malware, or compromised devices, ensuring full compliance with GDPR and CCPA regulations.

What is the difference between rotating and sticky sessions?

Rotating proxies assign a new IP address with each request, ideal for large-scale scraping. Sticky sessions maintain the same IP for a configurable duration, useful for multi-step workflows like login sequences or shopping cart operations.

Can residential proxies bypass Cloudflare?

Yes. Residential proxies are highly effective at bypassing Cloudflare and similar WAF systems because they use genuine ISP-assigned IPs that pass browser integrity checks and JavaScript challenges designed to block datacenter traffic.
