Residential

Household IPs in 195 countries that blend in with everyday traffic.

Residential exits are IP addresses that internet providers assign to real homes. To a website, a request through one looks like an ordinary visitor — which is why residential is the network that passes strict targets.

#Targeting

Residential supports the full set of location options — country, region and city — plus asn to pick a specific internet provider. See Geo-targeting.

#Sessions

Without a session, every request gets a fresh exit. Add session-<id> to keep one, and ttl-<duration> to set how long it holds (up to 24h). If an exit goes offline mid-session, the gateway re-pins the session to a new exit in the same city and ISP where possible. See Sessions & rotation.

#Sourcing

Residential IPs come from partners who obtain consent from device owners to share a small part of their bandwidth. You may not attempt to identify or contact the devices behind exits — see the Acceptable Use Policy.

#Billing

Both request and response bytes count towards usage. Unused bandwidth stays available until your plan's expiry date, and you can watch usage live in the dashboard or through the Usage API.
