Residential proxies from $0.60/GB

Residential proxies are IP addresses that internet service providers assign to real households. Traffic routed through them looks like a normal person browsing from home, which is why they pass anti-bot checks that block datacenter traffic.

Your request goes to the proxy endpoint instead of straight to the target site. The network picks an exit — a real household IP assigned by an ISP — and forwards the request from there, so the site sees a residential visitor rather than a datacenter address. The response returns down the same path. Country, session length and rotation are set with parameters on the request; nothing in your code changes beyond the proxy URL and credentials.

Three splits matter. By rotation: rotating, a new IP per request, or sticky, the same IP held for a session. By pool tier: standard pools versus premium pools of cleaner, less-used IPs — here Basic from $0.60/GB and Premium from $2.50/GB. By IP origin: true residential (household ISP lines), mobile (4G/5G carrier IPs), and static residential or ISP proxies, which are datacenter-hosted but registered to an ISP.

Web scraping, SERP tracking, ad verification, price intelligence, brand protection and collecting training data for AI models — anywhere requests need to look like a real visitor from a specific country.

Using residential proxies is legal in most jurisdictions. What matters is what you do through them: collect public data, respect the target site's terms, and don't access private systems.

Rotating sessions give you a fresh residential IP on every request — best for high-volume scraping. Sticky sessions hold the same IP for up to 120 minutes — best for logins, carts and any flow that expects one consistent visitor.

Residential IPs come from real homes, so they are far harder to detect and block; datacenter IPs are faster and cheaper but easier to flag. Use residential for protected targets, datacenter for bulk work on permissive ones.

QuanticData residential bandwidth starts at $0.60/GB on the Basic line and from $2.50/GB on the Premium line. You pay per GB, and purchased bandwidth never expires.

Yes — there is a free residential trial, no card required. You can also test the Data APIs built on the same network with $1 of free usage every month.

Yes. The same network powers QuanticData's scraping, SERP and crawling APIs: you send a URL or a query and get clean Markdown or JSON back, billed only on success.

A VPN routes all of your device's traffic through one shared server identity, built for private browsing. Residential proxies give you per-request control over millions of home IPs — rotation, country targeting, concurrency — built for data collection, not personal privacy.

Yes. The network supports HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5, with username:password authentication or an IP allowlist.

One endpoint, any HTTP client: point curl, Python requests, Scrapy, Playwright or Selenium at the proxy host with your credentials. Country and session behaviour are set right in the username string — no proxy lists to import.

No. Purchased bandwidth stays on your account until you use it — no monthly reset and no pressure to consume it.

Residential proxies are slower than datacenter proxies and cost more per gigabyte, because traffic routes through real home connections instead of servers. Performance also varies: since the IPs belong to real users, an individual exit can drop or slow down. You trade raw speed for detection resistance on protected targets.

Look for an ethically sourced pool from consenting households, a strong success rate on your targets, country targeting included rather than charged as an add-on, pay-per-GB billing where bandwidth never expires, and a free trial so you can measure performance before committing budget.

Free lists exist, and they are almost always a bad trade. Public proxy lists are mostly dead IPs, already burned on the sites you care about, and shared with everyone who found the same list — and because someone pays for that bandwidth, the honest question is what they get from your traffic. Anything routed through an unknown free proxy can be logged. What is genuinely free here is the trial: every account gets $1 of usage each month, no card, which is enough to test real targets before you spend anything.

From consenting households: people who opt into a program, know their connection is shared, and are compensated for it. That question matters more than it used to — the FBI published an advisory in 2026 about criminal proxy networks assembled from devices whose owners never agreed to anything, usually through malware. Ask any provider you evaluate where the pool comes from and whether users can leave it; a provider that cannot answer plainly is telling you something. Pools built without consent are also worse products: the IPs vanish when the malware is cleaned.
