How We Acquire Residential Proxies

Direct Sourcing

IPRoyal has a direct residential proxy sourcing partner – Pawns.app. Informed and consenting users share their internet bandwidth, turning devices into residential proxies, which are then added to our pool.

Many other residential proxy providers use numerous indirect sources, implement secret SDKs in apps, and get IP addresses through a multitude of other means. Some of them are unethical, some of them inefficient, and all of them provide little control over quality and reliability.

Our partnership allows us to address all of those issues, minimising risk and maximising performance for all of our customers.

Ethical Residential Proxy Sourcing

  • Consent

    All of our residential proxy creators are aware of the fact that their devices are being used for business purposes.

  • Compensation

    Our partners monetarily compensate every pool participant for each gigabyte of bandwidth shared.

  • Control

    Every pool participant has the ability to easily toggle off bandwidth sharing, removing them from the pool.

Risk Monitoring & KYC

Preventing Misuse

Residential proxies mostly support legitimate and valuable businesses, but there are always those who would rather attempt to use the same tools for malicious purposes. We do everything in our power to prevent such usage.

To minimize risk, we have implemented various checks and balances throughout the selection, purchase, and onboarding process. These include manual and automated reviews, data verification, and monitoring processes.

We, however, respect the privacy of our customers, so the data we can monitor is restricted to an absolute minimum – only the targets that are being accessed through our pool.

Finally, we have strict Know-Your-Customer processes that are used whenever the need arises to ensure that our services will be used as required.
