Frequently asked questions
What is a residential proxy?
A residential proxy routes your requests through real IP addresses assigned by ISPs to household devices. To websites, your traffic appears to come from a normal user, which helps reduce blocks, CAPTCHAs, and false positives during legitimate tasks like market research, SEO monitoring, ad verification, and account workflows.
Your request goes to the proxy, which forwards it to the target site using a residential IP from the provider’s pool. The site sees the residential IP – not yours. You can use rotating IPs (change per request or interval) or sticky sessions (keep the same IP for a set time) depending on the task.
How can residential proxies help with AI and LLM training data collection?
Residential proxies are invaluable for AI projects that require large-scale web data. They route your requests through real devices, which lets you scrape websites for text, images, and other data without getting blocked – critical when assembling huge training datasets. By using rotating residential IPs, AI developers can crawl many sources in parallel, bypass geo-restrictions and CAPTCHAs, and gather a more diverse dataset for their model.
What’s the difference between a residential proxy and a VPN?
A VPN secures all your device’s traffic through an encrypted tunnel and typically uses a single exit IP – great for personal privacy and general browsing.
A residential proxy routes selected apps/requests through real ISP-assigned IPs, with extras like rotation or sticky sessions, granular geo targeting, and per-request control – better for data collection, QA, and automation.
Note that proxies don’t encrypt your traffic on their own, so make sure to use HTTPS for a secure connection.
What’s the difference between a static residential proxy and a rotating residential proxy?
Rotating residential proxies change the IP per request or on a time basis, ideal for large-scale collection where diversity and block resistance matter.
Residential proxies that are static give you a persistent local network IP identity for hours, or, depending on the IP, even days. These proxies are ideal for logged-in flows, QA, and multiple account management.
We recommend choosing static for stability, and rotating for scalability.
What’s the difference between rotating and sticky sessions?
Rotating sessions: switch IPs per request or on a timer – ideal for large-scale collection.
Sticky sessions: keep the same residential IP for minutes to hours or days – useful for logged-in or multi-step flows. Session limits vary by provider.
What’s the difference between a shared residential proxy and a dedicated residential proxy?
Shared residential proxies are used by multiple customers: lower cost, but potential “noisy neighbor” effects.
Dedicated residential proxies are reserved for one user: cleaner reputation and more predictable performance, at a higher price.
It’s best to use shared residential proxies for light and short tasks; dedicated residential proxies for mission-critical or reputation-sensitive workflows.
How do residential proxies compare to datacenter ones?
Residential proxies: real ISP IPs, higher legitimacy and block resistance, good for sensitive or geo-accurate tasks.
Datacenter proxies: server-hosted, usually cheaper and faster, easier to detect – best for speed-first, lower-risk use cases.
Discover which proxy type delivers better performance for your specific use case in our residential vs datacenter proxies comparison.
Are residential proxies legal and safe?
Using residential proxies can be legal for appropriate purposes (e.g., accessing publicly available data). Legality depends on how you use them, local laws, and website terms – seek legal advice for your case.
Friendly tip: go with providers that ethically source their IPs, and steer clear of "free" services that might log or sell your data.

Why is ethical sourcing important for residential proxies?
Ethical sourcing protects the privacy and rights of individuals whose devices provide IP addresses. This, in turn, reduces legal risk for clients and ensures compliance with global regulations. Choosing ethically sourced proxies demonstrates a commitment to responsible data practices.
Are there any additional costs for advanced geo-targeting (city, ZIP, ASN)?
No, Decodo includes advanced geo-targeting (city, ZIP code, and ASN targeting) in all residential proxy plans at no extra charge. This ensures transparent pricing and full access to powerful global targeting features across more than 195 locations.
