What is a Residential Proxy?
A residential proxy is your key to a private and limitless online experience. Unlike traditional methods, it doesn’t just hide your IP address, but constantly changes it with one issued from a real ISP rather than data centers. This improves your anonymity and ensures you are less likely to come across roadblocks when accessing your favorite websites, streaming services, etc.
