Have you ever struggled to access certain sites, even with a VPN? Or dealt with excessive blocks or CAPTCHAs while trying to access your favorite shows and movies?
Well, if that’s the case, then with PureVPN’s Residential Network add-on, you can have an all-access pass to a truly borderless internet.
For many, using a VPN is the go-to solution for circumventing regional barriers and accessing the internet freely. However, some websites use advanced filters to detect data center IPs traditionally assigned by VPNs, making it harder to access specific content or services.
This is where PureVPN’s latest add-on comes in.
The Residential Network is designed to enhance online privacy and anonymity by providing users with IP addresses that appear to originate from a physical location.
Let’s take a look at different types of IPs and why you should consider adding the Residential Network add-on to your PureVPN plan.
Why Do Websites Block Certain IPs?
Not all IP addresses work the same way. Websites can differentiate between IP types and often have stringent filters in place to spot VPN-assigned IP addresses. This is mainly because traditional VPNs typically assign shared IPs originating from data centers, which can be easier to detect.
Here’s a closer look at the types of IP addresses and why some are more detectable than others:
Shared IPs
These are used by multiple users at the same time and typically come from data centers. Since these IPs are shared by many users, they’re often flagged as VPN IPs. Users have difficulty accessing certain sites because websites can easily identify high traffic from the same IP source.
Dedicated IPs
These are assigned to one user, these IPs offer a private connection but still usually originate from data centers, making them susceptible to VPN detection filters.
Residential IPs
These IPs appear like regular user traffic to websites, making them much harder to detect. Since they’re linked to actual residences, residential IPs offer an additional layer of authenticity that makes it difficult for sites to distinguish VPN traffic from regular user traffic.
Each type has its uses, but for individuals prioritizing accessibility, stability, and privacy, a Residential Network is often the preferred choice.
What is a Residential Network?
A Residential Network is an add-on provided by PureVPN that helps you appear like a local online user by assigning an ISP-provided IP address.
Unlike data center IPs, which can easily be flagged by websites and platforms, Residential Network allows you to seamlessly access global content without any hiccups.
When using PureVPN’s Residential Network, your requests are routed through residential IPs, making it ideal for accessing region-exclusive streaming content, localized shopping platforms, and more. This ensures a smoother, uninterrupted browsing experience.
