What Is a Residential Proxy?
A residential proxy is a server that sits between your device and the websites you visit. It makes you look like you’re in a specific country or city, no matter where you actually are.
Unlike datacenter proxies, residential proxies are connected to actual devices from real internet service providers (ISP). So from a website’s eyes, your traffic appears like regular customer traffic.
It means you don’t get blocked when doing things like video streaming, web scraping, and online shopping and banking.
Bottom line: It hides your online activity, so you stay anonymous without restrictions. No more blocked content. No more CAPTCHAS. No more frustrations—you can spend your time doing the things you want to do.
Residential proxies surpass the competition regarding anonymity and undetectability because of where they obtain their IP addresses. Unlike datacenter proxies, residential proxies correlate to IP addresses from actual ISP customers. The class of IP addresses may seem like a trivial detail, but it’s essential for particular tasks. Some things such as video streaming, online shopping, and banking, have extra security measures to detect and block proxies.
ISP-sourced residential proxies get around these limitations because they appear as regular customer traffic from the server’s point of view. With the continual rise in the popularity of streaming services, unrestricted access can be appealing.
In recent years, streaming sites, in particular, have set their sights on preventing proxies through various detection mechanisms leading to a myriad of user complaints.

FAQ
How do residential proxies work?
A residential proxy sits between you and the websites you visit. It replaces your IP address with a different IP address, so all of your online activity remains private. Nothing can be traced back to you.
Are residential proxies safe?
Yes. Residential proxies are connected to actual devices through real residential ISP connections. Proxy servers have the highest IP scores for trust and reputation, so you don’t need to worry about your safety while using them.
Can residential proxies be detected?
No. There’s no way for a website, app, or any other online service to determine if you’re using a residential proxy. Proxy traffic is indistinguishable from regular visitors.
How do you test residential proxies?
You can test your sticky and rotating residential proxies for any website with our IPRoyal Proxy Tester. It works on Windows and allows you to check your proxy type, speed, and the current status of multiple proxies at once. You can also filter the results and export working proxies in .txt format.
How often do residential proxies rotate?
It’s up to you. IPRoyal offers precise TTL (time-to-live) control for residential proxies. So you can get a new IP address every time you send a request, or you can rotate it at a specified frequency: from one second to 7 days.
Does IPRoyal offer pay-as-you-go residential proxies?
Yes. The Royal residential proxy service is based on a pay-as-you-go model where you only pay for the traffic you use. Buying a larger amount of traffic at once includes significant discounts (up to 75%). The traffic you purchase never expires - you can spend it whenever and however you want.
Does IPRoyal offer unlimited bandwidth for residential proxies?
Yes. Our static residential proxy service offers genuine residential proxies with no bandwidth or session limitations. Static residential proxies use the same IP address for your plan’s duration (leases are available for 1, 30, 60, or 90 days), and offer unlimited bandwidth during this time. Note that these are not rotating residential proxies, which have a different pricing plan.
Can I use IPRoyal residential proxies for DDoS attacks?
No. IPRoyal residential proxies (or any other service) explicitly prohibit any activities that cause damage, service disruption, or engage in any other illegal activity. You can find more information in our Terms of Service.
How much do residential proxies cost?
The cost of rotating residential proxies is based on traffic and purchase plan. Plans start at $7 per GB, and can be discounted as low as $1.75 per GB when purchased in bulk. Your traffic never expires, so purchasing traffic in bulk is an extremely cost-effective option.
