Some commonly asked questions:
❓What is a residential proxy?
Residential proxies are IP addresses provided by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to homeowners. They act as intermediaries between you and the internet by lending their IP address to use instead of yours. These proxies offer a genuine residential IP, making them highly secure and reliable for various online activities, including web scraping, data mining, and avoiding IP bans.
❓How do I know if my proxy is working online?
One way to know if your proxy works is to check what's your IP before and after enabling your proxy. If the IP address changes, your proxy is successfully routing your traffic. A more advanced way is to use an online proxy checker like our Proxy Checker.
❓How do we source residential IPs?
Together with the Internet Infrastructure Coalition (i2Coalition), we have launched the Ethical Web Data Collection Initiative (EWDCI). This industry-led consortium will strengthen public trust, promote ethical guidelines, and help businesses make informed data collection choices.
❓Can I get SOCKS5 residential proxies?
Yes, you can! Our residential proxies fully support the SOCKS5 protocol. When you get a residential proxy plan on Smartproxy, you can choose between the HTTP(S) or SOCKS5 protocol.
