​​Frequently asked questions about residential proxies
Are residential proxies legal?
Residential proxies are perfectly legal to use for a variety of purposes. However, some websites or particular types of data may be illegal to scrape, so make sure not to abuse your proxies and be conscious of the existing restrictions (legal or other). We also recommend considering whether you’re going to need advanced rotation or sticky sessions.
How do residential proxies work?
Residential proxies workflow:
1. Your internet traffic is directed through an intermediary server.
2. This server assigns a different IP address to your connection request.
3. As a result, your IP address is concealed, and you appear to be a regular user with a different IP address.
What is advanced proxy rotation?
Advanced proxy rotation is a technique that proxy servers use to switch up IP addresses regularly. That way, websites can't figure out you're using a proxy and won't be able to block you. Using Smartproxy IPs, you can choose between rotating sessions that change IP with each action and sticky ones that keep the same IP for up to 30 minutes.
How to set up and use Smartproxy residential proxies?
Our dashboard is intuitive, and our quick start guide is full of helpful information, including practical explanations and detailed instructions. If you have any questions, our live chat is always just a click away!
How do we source residential IPs?
Together with the Internet Infrastructure Coalition (i2Coalition), we have launched the Ethical Web Data Collection Initiative (EWDCI). This industry-led consortium will strengthen public trust, promote ethical guidelines and help businesses make informed data collection choices.
Can I get SOCKS5 residential proxies?
Yes, you can! Our residential proxies fully support the SOCKS5 protocol. When you get a residential proxy plan on Smartproxy, you can choose between the HTTP(s) or SOCKS5 protocol.
