What is a residential proxy?

Before diving into the setup process, let's understand what residential proxies are. Residential proxies are IP addresses provided by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to homeowners. They act as intermediaries between you and the internet by lending their IP address to use instead of yours. These proxies offer a genuine residential IP, making them highly secure and reliable for various online activities, including web scraping, data mining, and avoiding IP bans.
