UnverifiedResidential proxies generally refer to proxy services relayed through real user devices (such as home routers and smart home devices), whose IP addresses come from residential networks and are difficult for traditional blacklist mechanisms to identify.75% similarUnverifiedResidential exit nodes forward requests through real home broadband IPs to bypass platforms' blocks on data center IPs, and their procurement and maintenance costs are higher than those of ordinary server exits.72% similarUnverifiedResidential proxy IPs are allocated to real home broadband users and look no different from ordinary viewers to YouTube; data center proxy IPs belong to cloud providers or hosting facilities and are easily identified and banned.71% similarUnverifiedThe residential proxy ecosystem usually consists of three types of players: proxy service providers build the control platform and sell access entry points externally; SDKs/proxy clients are implanted into ordinary users' devices or infect always-on terminals under the guise of free VPNs, accelerators or cashback plugins; and residential nodes are the real home network exit points being exploited.70% similarUnverifiedResidential IP proxies have a lower probability of being detected as proxies compared to data center IPs69% similar
