See the local experience

Check how your website, search results, or product pages appear from a residential network in an available country.

Fits your existing tools

Use HTTP CONNECT or SOCKS5 with your browser, script, or client. Target the residential network type in your proxy username.

People behind the connection

Every exit belongs to an app participant who chooses to share their connection and is paid per gigabyte.

Made for real work

Built for the work behind better decisions.

Compare public product listings, check localized content, and test your own websites from a consumer connection. Start with a small sample to check that the available locations and response times fit your workflow.

Follow a request

A familiar setup. A real consumer exit.

Your client keeps its familiar proxy configuration. The difference is where the traffic goes next.

  1. 01

    Your client makes a request

    Use your account credential in an HTTP CONNECT or SOCKS5 client. Add only the country, type, and session markers your workflow needs.

  2. 02

    The gateway selects a matching exit

    We authenticate your credential and look for an available participant that matches your targeting. Unavailable filters produce a clear capacity error.

  3. 03

    A real connection carries the traffic

    The request exits through the home internet connection of a participating device. The destination sees that network address.

  4. 04

    Usage connects value to both sides

    Your balance reflects the metered traffic. The person providing the connection is paid per gigabyte for the bandwidth they share.

The controls you actually need

Choose the route.
Keep your tools.

Targeting is part of the username, so any compatible client can use it without a special SDK. Start with the network type, then add a country or session only when your work needs it.

Country and network targeting

Select an available country and the residential or mobile network type. No matching exit means no_capacity, not a different location.

Rotating and sticky sessions

Use independent rotating requests or pin an exit device for a related sequence. A device session is not a permanent IP reservation.

HTTP CONNECT and SOCKS5

Copy the right endpoint from your dashboard and configure your existing tools. Your secret stays the same when you add targeting markers.

A small change to your username

Make the connection
residential.

Append the type marker to the username from your dashboard. Keep the secret and endpoint from your own account. The examples here are fictional.

A sticky session selects a device. Its network may still change the IP address.

A few more details

Good questions.
Clear answers.

Read the documentation
What makes an IP residential?

The request exits through a participant’s home internet connection. In our network, a phone connected to home Wi-Fi can provide a residential exit.

Can I choose a country?

Yes. Add a country and network type to your username. A matching exit must be online; unavailable targeting returns no_capacity. See the targeting guide.

Do I own the IP address?

You buy traffic through the network, not ownership of an address. These are shared, rotating connections; a sticky session can keep an exit while it remains available.

Which protocols can I use?

Both HTTP CONNECT and SOCKS5 are available. Copy the corresponding endpoint from your dashboard and use it in a compatible client.

Can I switch between residential and mobile?

Yes. Use the appropriate network type marker with the same account and prepaid balance, subject to available exits and your credential’s permitted targeting.

How do sticky sessions work?

A session pins an exit device while it remains available. The device’s network can change its IP address. If the device goes offline, the gateway reports that instead of silently moving the session.

Real connections. Your next request.
