Residential Proxy

« Back to Glossary Index

A proxy that uses IPs from residential networks, making it appear as though traffic is coming from a regular household. Residential proxies are highly valued for their authenticity, helping users avoid detection in sensitive applications such as e-commerce or market research. They are often used in scenarios where websites enforce strict anti-bot policies.

Python Example:

proxy = {"http": "http://username:[email protected]:port"}
response = requests.get("http://example.com", proxies=proxy)
print(response.status_code)
