What are residential proxies?

General Information

With residential proxies, you can surf the web as if you were a real person in a specific country, state, or city. Proxies are intermediaries that shield users from the rest of the web's traffic. They also hide your IP address and serve as buffers. Proxies are different IP addresses that users are given by their service provider.
The proxy IP is used to route each user's search requests from the resource server to the proxy server.
The user's actions are hidden, and their identity is kept a secret.
