GoProxy’ Residential Proxies comprise real IP addresses belonging to Internet Service Providers (ISPs). With these IP addresses, you can bypass geo-restrictions and collect public data without disruptions.

In this guide, you’ll find all the essential information needed for a smooth start with GoProxy Residential Proxies.


What is a proxy?

The proxy server acts as an intermediary between any device and the rest of the internet. There are three main types of proxies. Residential proxies are private IP addresses from real devices, associated with ISPs. On the other hand, datacenter and mobile proxies are not affiliated with an ISP. Mobile proxies come from mobile carriers and run on mobile networks. Meanwhile, datacenter proxies are virtual and generated in powerful data centers.
