Residential proxies FAQ
What is a residential proxy?
Residential proxies provide the capability to select a desired location, such as a country, city, or zip code, enabling users to collect web data as if they were physically present in that area. Acting as intermediaries, residential proxies shield users from regular web traffic, serving as buffers that safeguard your online activities while concealing your actual IP address. Essentially, residential proxies offer alternate IP addresses assigned to users by the provider, granting a higher level of anonymity and flexibility in web data collection.
What are the benefits of using a residential proxy network?
Residential proxies give you the ability to access and scrape sophisticated target websites that your business would not otherwise have access to because of location-based blockades. You’ll be able to scrape, view information and collect data using real user IPs–see how your ads appear to consumers around the world, or what prices are being displayed to customers in another location. Send an increased number of concurrent requests meaning your data collection efforts will almost never be slowed down by proxies or target sites.
What can I use a residential proxy network for?
A residential proxy network can be utilized for various purposes. It’s essential for Bright Data to ensure that our clients use it responsibly and within the boundaries of the law and ethical guidelines. Here are some common use cases for a residential proxy network:
- Bypassing Geolocation Restrictions: Some websites and online services may be restricted or limited to specific geographical regions. By using residential proxies from different locations, you can access such content as if you were physically located in those regions.
- Web Scraping: Researchers, marketers, and data analysts often use residential proxies to gather data from websites at scale. Web scraping with residential proxies allows them to avoid IP bans or detection and collect data from multiple sources without raising suspicion.
- Price Comparison and Market Research: Residential proxies enable businesses to conduct price comparison and market research by accessing competitor websites and monitoring product prices and availability without revealing their actual IP addresses.
- Social Media Management: Social media marketers can use residential proxies to manage multiple accounts across various platforms without being flagged for suspicious activity.
- Ad Verification: Advertisers and marketers use residential proxies to verify the display of their ads and correct placement
- SEO Monitoring: Professionals in search engine optimization (SEO) can use residential proxies to track search engine rankings from different locations, enabling them to analyze regional performance and assess the effectiveness of SEO strategies.
- Security Testing: In the context of cybersecurity, companies may use residential proxies to test the security of their websites and applications, identifying potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited.
- Privacy and Anonymity: Residential proxies can help protect your online identity and maintain anonymity by hiding your real IP address. This can be useful when browsing the web, accessing restricted content, or preventing websites from tracking your activities.
What protocols are available?
Bright Data's residential proxies support the HTTP/S and SOCKS5 protocols. In most cases, HTTP and HTTPS proxies will be the best fit, but if your project requires the usage of SOCKS5 proxies, we got you covered!
Is it legal to use residential proxies?
Yes, using residential proxies is completely legal. It is, however, possible to misuse them for illegitimate purposes and that’s why we have a strict KYC process in place.
How do I buy residential proxies?
To buy residential proxies from Bright Data, you must first create an account. Once your account is set up, navigate to the dashboard and residential proxies. Configure your proxy network according to your needs and click save. Complete the payment process.
Is there a bandwidth limit with Bright Data's residential proxy IPs?
The bandwidth is calculated according to the sum of data transmitted to and from the target site: request headers+request data (POST)+response headers+response data. Note that traffic used during your trial will be listed on your dashboard but will not be counted towards your bill.
How does Bright Data acquire its residential proxies?
Bright Data has built a unique consumer IP model by which all involved parties are fairly compensated for their voluntary participation. App owners install a unique Software Development Kit (SDK) to their applications and receive monthly remuneration based on the number of users who opt-in. App users can voluntarily opt-in and are compensated through an ad-free user experience or enjoy an upgraded version of the app they are using for free. These consumers or ‘peers’ serve as the basis of our network and can opt-out at any time. This model has brought into existence an unrivaled, first of its kind, ethically sound, and compliant network of real consumers.
