What is a
Residential Proxy?
A residential proxy routes your online traffic through an IP address from a real Internet Service Provider (ISP) linked to a physical household. Unlike data center proxies, residential proxies offer greater legitimacy and anonymity by mimicking regular home users, making them ideal for tasks like private browsing, bypassing region locking, managing multiple accounts, and web scraping.

To set up a residential proxy, first ensure you have an active PureVPN account. Then, subscribe to the residential proxy add-on through your Member Area.

Why use a residential proxy instead of VPN?
A residential proxy is ideal for specific tasks like web scraping and accessing unavailable content without detection, as they provide IPs that mimic real user behavior. VPNs, while excellent for overall privacy and security, often use IPs that can be identified and blocked by some websites.
