Residential Proxy Configuration

Residential proxies route your requests through real household IP addresses assigned by Internet Service Providers (Comcast, AT&T, Deutsche Telekom, etc.).

• Wants to understand the difference between residential, ISP, and datacenter proxies
• Needs proxies that pass ASN and IP reputation checks
• Asks about proxy types or which proxy is best for their use case
