Residential Proxies
Real-device residential IPs — rotating, crypto-paid.
A residential proxy routes your traffic through an actual home internet connection — the same IPs ordinary people use to browse every day. Because the address belongs to a real household, residential proxies are the hardest proxy type for a site to detect, which makes them the tool of choice for the strictest targets. When they launch on VirtProxy, they'll be sold per gigabyte rather than per IP, so you only pay for the data you move — and you'll be able to run rotating residential proxies or hold a sticky IP through a session.
What you get
What's planned
Residential proxies aren't buyable yet — pricing is finalized and provisioning is in progress. Everything here is the planned spec, not a live product. If you need proxies today, datacenter and ISP proxies are live and ready.
When they launch, residential will be billed per gigabyte rather than per IP, so you only pay for the data you move — with a fresh rotating IP per request, or a sticky IP held for up to 30 minutes. Country, state, and city targeting are planned, with state-level targeting for the United States at launch.
Residential vs. datacenter vs. ISP — which will fit your job
Residential proxies are the most authentic and the most expensive of the three, and they'll be billed per gigabyte rather than per IP. Datacenter proxies are the fastest and cheapest, billed per IP — best when the target doesn't aggressively block server ranges. ISP proxies sit in between: residential-grade IPs at datacenter speed, billed per IP. Until residential goes live, ISP is the closest substitute — it carries residential legitimacy without the per-GB billing.

- A large global residential pool
Best for
- Web scraping the strictest sites
Extract data at scale from targets that block datacenter and ISP IPs. Real home addresses are the hardest to filter, so success rates stay high where other proxy types fail.
- Ad verification
See exactly which ads are served in a specific country, state, or city, from an IP that's indistinguishable from a local resident's.
- Social media and multi-account management
Operate multiple accounts more safely from real residential IPs, with sticky sessions that keep an identity consistent through a workflow.
- Market research and price monitoring
Collect localized pricing and availability the way a real shopper in that location would see it, down to the city when that targeting lands.
Common questions
- Can I buy residential proxies now?
- Not yet. Residential proxies are coming soon — pricing is finalized but provisioning isn't live. For now, use our datacenter or ISP proxies, both of which are available today.
- When will residential proxies launch?
- We haven't set a public date. Pricing is locked in and provisioning is the last piece. The fastest way to hear first is to create an account and watch the products page.
- How will residential pricing work?
- Per gigabyte, on a sliding scale from $1.99/GB down to $0.99/GB as your monthly usage grows. There's no per-IP commitment — you pay only for the data you move.
- What's the difference between sticky and rotating sessions?
- Rotating sessions assign a new IP for each request — best for one-off requests where diversity matters. Sticky sessions hold the same IP for up to 30 minutes — best for multi-step workflows like form submissions or shopping carts.
- Will I be able to target a specific state or city?
- State targeting will be available for the United States at launch. City-level targeting is on the roadmap and will follow.
- What should I use until residential is available?
- ISP proxies are the closest match — they're residential-grade IPs that read as home connections, just billed per IP instead of per GB. For high-volume jobs where the target doesn't block server IPs, datacenter proxies are cheaper and faster.
