Using proxy IPs is a common strategy when doing network data extraction and crawling. In addition to traditional data center proxy IP, residential proxy IP has gradually become popular in recent years and has shown some unique advantages.

This article will detail the benefits and advantages of using residential proxy IPs to collect data, as well as the differences compared to other types of proxy IPs.

The concept of residential proxy IP

Residential proxy IP refers to a proxy server provided through a residential network connection (referred to as: home broadband IP address), which uses the real IP address located on the residential network as the egress IP address of the proxy server. Different from data center proxy IP, residential proxy IP is a home broadband IP resource directly allocated by the ISP (Internet service providers). These residential proxy IPs have the same characteristics as real users.

Advantages and benefits of residential proxy IP

Higher anonymity

The source of residential proxy IP is the real residential network. Compared with data center proxy IP, it is more difficult to be identified and blocked by the target website. Since residential proxy IPs have the characteristics of real users, it is more difficult for websites to detect the existence of the proxy.

Improve the success rate of data capture

Using residential proxy IP for data extraction can reduce the risk of being banned from the website. Websites usually detect a large number of requests. If a data center proxy IP is used for crawling, it can easily be identified as machine behavior and be banned. Residential proxy IPs are closer to the behavior of real users and are more difficult to detect by websites.

Stability and reliability

In network crawling, if the proxy IP frequently fails or is unstable, it may cause the data extraction task to fail or be delayed, while the residential proxy IP can more reliably cope with large-scale data extraction needs.

Cross-device and cross-network platform

Residential proxy IP can usually be used on multiple devices and network platforms, including computers, mobile phones and other smart devices. This makes Residential Proxy IP suitable for different types of data extraction needs.

Differences from other proxy IP types

The main differences with residential proxy IPs compared to data center proxy IPs are anonymity and difficulty of detection. The source of the data center proxy IP is the data center or cloud service provider. It is far from the characteristics of real users and can easily be detected and banned by websites. The source of residential proxy IP is a real residential network, which is closer to the behavior pattern of real users and is more difficult to detect by websites.
