RESIDENTIAL PROXIES

A residential proxy is an intermediary server that collects requests from a device and forwards it to a destination website or application while making it seem that residential proxy is the original source of the connection request. Unlike datacenter proxies, residential IP addresses are acquired from household devices, which makes them seem like regular internet users.

Most residential proxies are sold by providing bandwidth instead of IP addresses. How many residential proxies are required for any project is difficult to evaluate, therefore, most providers choose to sell bandwidth and provide access to the entire pool.

Our residential proxies implement HTTPS encryption and strict authentication protocols. Each connection is protected with username/password authentication, and we maintain a strict no-logs policy.

Residential proxies are much harder to detect than datacenter proxies since they use real residential IP addresses. However, unusual traffic patterns or excessive requests from the same IP can still trigger detection systems.

Residential proxies channel your internet traffic through real residential IP addresses assigned by ISPs to homeowners and mobile users. This creates a genuine residential footprint for your connection.

Static residential proxies provide you with the same IP address for an extended period, making them ideal for account management and activities requiring consistent identity.

Rotating residential proxies automatically change your IP address at specified intervals or after each request, providing better anonymity and helping to avoid rate limitations.

Yes, proxies are legal when used for legitimate purposes such as web scraping, testing, privacy protection, and market research. However, they must be used in compliance with terms of service and local laws.

You can test residential proxies using our Proxy Tester tool, which verifies connection stability, speed, and anonymity.

Additionally, you can test them by configuring the proxy in your browser or application and visiting IP checking websites to confirm your connection is properly routed through the residential IP.

Residential proxies typically have speeds ranging from 50-100ms (self-tested on a local computer). While slightly slower than datacenter proxies, they offer better success rates for accessing restricted content.

Yes, Roundproxies offers flexible pay-as-you-go options for residential proxies, allowing you to purchase only the bandwidth you need without long-term commitments. This is ideal for testing or for projects with varying proxy requirements.

Roundproxies offers tiered plans with high bandwidth allocations designed to meet enterprise needs.

While we don't offer truly unlimited bandwidth to maintain network quality, our highest-tier plans provide substantial data allowances that accommodate most large-scale operations.

No, using our residential proxies for DDoS attacks or any malicious activity is strictly prohibited and violates our Terms of Service.

Roundproxies monitors network activity and will terminate service for users engaging in such activities. We're committed to maintaining a secure and reliable proxy network for legitimate business purposes only.

Residential proxy pricing varies based on bandwidth requirements, location specificity, and rotation settings.

Roundproxies offers competitive plans starting from $0.80 per GB for basic packages, with discounted rates for bulk purchases. Check our pricing page for current rates and promotional offers.

A residential VPN routes all your device traffic through a secure tunnel to a VPN server, while a residential proxy only redirects specific applications or browser traffic.

Residential proxies offer more precise control for targeting specific locations and rotating IPs, making them better suited for business applications like web scraping and market research.

Static residential proxies can last from several days to months, depending on the package.

Rotating residential proxies change IPs based on your settings—either after each request, at timed intervals, or manually. The overall proxy pool is continuously maintained and updated to ensure consistent availability regardless of individual IP lifespans.

We provide a 99.9% network uptime guarantee with our residential proxy pool. Our system automatically rotates IPs and implements smart routing to ensure consistent availability.
