Since there are so many proxy servers, that is, proxy products, it can be difficult to choose the right proxy type according to your intended use. Although people always want to use the more affordable proxy type first, it is useful to remind you that the product that is the solution to their problems comes at a more affordable price as a result in order not to waste time.
There are many affordable residential proxies on the market, but it is important to remember that many affordable products have other problems. Here are some of them:
- Stolen IP addresses obtained without people’s knowledge, such as viruses and botnets.
- Unethical slow IPs.
- Restricted IP pool width
- Proxies used for illegal purposes
- IP addresses found in SPAM, Blacklist
The proxies sold at affordable prices as mentioned above definitely have other problems and will end up costing you more because it wastes your time. For this reason, when choosing very cheap proxies, I recommend that you pay attention to whether the website you buy is an official company, customer reviews such as Google and Trustpilot, and comments on forums. If possible, we recommend that you first buy and test packages such as 1GB or trial package.
Now let’s come to Proxynet Residential Proxies
Proxynet Residential proxies mean that IP addresses obtained from ethical sources, that is, completely purchased from real home users, are included in a common pool and re-offered to Proxynet customers. We buy the IP addresses of millions of home IP address owners who share their GBs with us by paying them for GBs and sell our Residential Proxy product to our customers again. We always try to offer clean IP addresses as well as high-speed proxies because it is an IP pool consisting entirely of real users.
What are Residential Proxies?
Residential Proxies, as mentioned above, are a type of proxy that consists entirely of renting IP addresses from real home users and including them in a common pool. Here, with filters such as country, city, town, neighbourhood and ASN, our customers who purchase Residential proxy can access and easily use IP addresses from the pool they want.
Residential Proxy features
Although the residential proxy is a proxy product in itself, it can be divided into different types with its features. While the Residential proxy is easy to administer, different features also make it privileged. Our proxies have features such as Static, Rotating, Mobile, as well as multi-protocol support such as SOCKS5 /UDP, HTTPs.
1. Sticky/ Static Residential Proxy
With this feature called Sticky or Static, you can keep the IP address of the session you are using fixed for certain periods of time. For example, you will be able to keep the session or session duration fixed for up to 60 minutes with an option such as 60 minutes fixed that you set from the Proxynet panel. In this way, it is the feature given to keep Residential proxies fixed.
If a fixed IP for 60 minutes is insufficient for you, you can take a look at our ISP proxy service that can remain fixed for the duration of your purchase, that is, for months.
2. Mobile Residential Proxy
Residential proxies refer to residential IP addresses. However, nowadays mobile IP addresses are also included in a Residential proxy service. When you select the Mobile type when selecting a device such as TV, Wifi when using the Residential proxy service, the pool of proxies you use will be limited only to Mobile IPs, and the cost may increase due to the higher GB price of mobile SIMs.
If you want to use your own SIM card and mobile devices as a proxy, you can take a look at our Dedicated Mobile proxy service.
3. Rotating Residential Proxy
Rotating Residential proxies are the feature given to the proxy type that changes with the session times you specify or each new request. When using residential proxies, you can use rotating proxies by default if no extra feature is used.
Where are Residential Proxies Used?
Residential proxies can actually be used in all areas because they are the best quality of proxy types. However, if you have a purpose of use such as online games that you only want to remain fixed for a long time, you can choose the ISP proxy service, ISP proxies are also in the Residential proxy type, but are hosted on the servers of the operators themselves, and are higher in speed.
Main popular uses of residential proxies:

Are housing proxies legal?
When it comes to residential proxies or proxies, the question “is it legal?” always comes to mind. Yes, proxies obtained from ethical sources are always legal. As we explained above, Ethical, that is, the model in which we pay them on a GB basis because a user shares their internet with us and we sell to our own customers on a GB basis is legal.
In other words, it is important that you shop from sellers who offer you the GBs they receive from real users like us. If you shop from sites that do not carry out such work, take and market people’s IP address without their knowledge, such as viruses or Botnet, your own internet security can be abused.
Care about choosing an ethical proxy provider
One factor you should pay attention to is that you should prefer proxy providers such as Proxynet that provide services completely from their own infrastructure. You need to stay away from sites that cannot answer where they get the residential pool and keep it secret. In addition, another issue you should pay attention to here is the return policies. Companies that sell their own proxies can always promise a refund like us, but those who do not sell their own proxies usually cannot return.
Final
Residential proxies are sold with very different price policies. As we have mentioned many times above, ethical proxy vendors like us can be a bit expensive due to their faster and more premium work. But because it solves your problem and saves you time, this cost will actually be more affordable for you at the end of the day.
If you turn to too many cheap residential proxies, you will most likely encounter problems such as restricted IP pool, banned proxies, slow speeds and limited protocol usage, and you will suffer temporally at the end of the day. Therefore, you need to choose a good proxy vendor.
