What it is, and when to use it
Addresses assigned by consumer ISPs to real households, reached through peers who opted in to share bandwidth and are compensated for it. Every peer arrives through a partner application carrying a disclosure we have reviewed ourselves. Rotation is per request or sticky for up to 60 minutes.
Reach for residential when a target serves a different response by geography, device, or account history, and only a consumer vantage point reads it the way a real visitor would. Datacenter moves a fixed volume of traffic more cheaply; choose residential for the read it makes possible.

Coverage is presence, not a per-order selector: country-level targeting is not available on this line today.

What's included
38M+ address pool
A pool this size means a rotation can run for weeks without repeating an exit address against the same target.
190+ countries, 4,100+ cities
Peers exist at consumer-ISP density in almost every market you would need to check, including the smaller ones.
Rotating or sticky sessions
Rotate on every request for breadth, or hold a session sticky for up to 60 minutes when a workflow needs one identity throughout.
HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5
Point an existing client at the gateway without adding a new protocol to support.
User:pass or IP allowlist
Use rotating credentials or a fixed source IP to match how your infrastructure already authenticates.
Unmetered concurrency
Run as many concurrent sessions as the workload needs; concurrency itself is never billed or capped.
Connect in minutes
Point an existing HTTP client at the gateway below. Rotation, sessions, and targeting are parameters on the connection, not a new integration.
curl -x http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@gateway.proxyforge.io:PORT https://example.comimport requests
proxies = {
"http": "http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@gateway.proxyforge.io:PORT",
"https": "http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@gateway.proxyforge.io:PORT",
}
response = requests.get("https://example.com", proxies=proxies)
print(response.status_code)import { fetch, ProxyAgent } from "undici";
const dispatcher = new ProxyAgent("http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@gateway.proxyforge.io:PORT");
const response = await fetch("https://example.com", { dispatcher });
console.log(response.status);The host and credentials above are placeholders. Your actual gateway endpoint and credentials are issued in the dashboard after signup.
How the four networks compare
Every other line at a glance, so choosing between them is a parameter rather than a guess.
| Network | Residential | ISP | Datacenter | Mobile |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Origin | Consented peer devices, opted in through partner apps | Leased from consumer ISPs, hosted on our racks | Ranges we hold, announced from our own ASN | Consented peers plus modems we operate ourselves |
| Assignment | Rotating pool — Rotating or sticky to 60 min | Static, dedicated to one customer | Dedicated, never shared | Rotating pool — Rotating or sticky to 30 min |
| Billing unit | Per GB, rounded to the MB | Per address, per month | Per address, per month | Per GB, rounded to the MB |
| Best for | Geography-sensitive monitoring and ad verification | Long-lived sessions and account operations | High-volume collection and internal testing | Mobile-specific measurement and app testing |
| From price | $2.40 / GB | $1.50 / IP / month | $1.50 / IP / month | $1.75 / GB |
What teams run on this network
- Price and assortment monitoring on retail sites that segment by geography
- Ad verification and brand-safety sampling from consumer vantage points
- Search result and marketplace ranking measurement
- Availability testing for consumer-facing products across markets
Every peer address enters the network through a disclosed, compensated opt-in.
Residential and mobile peers reach us through partner applications. Before a device joins, the person using it is shown a plain-language notice explaining that their connection will be used to route traffic, and they must act to accept it. The choice can be reversed from the application's own settings, without contacting support. Partners compensate peers, in cash, in credit, or by removing advertising. We review each partner's disclosure text and consent flow before onboarding and again at every audit cycle, and we test the withdrawal path ourselves.

Residential questions, answered here
Can I choose which country my requests exit from?
Not at checkout today. Coverage spans 190+ countries and 4,100+ cities, but per-order country selection on residential is not available. ISP and datacenter both support choosing a country if your workload needs one.
How long can a session stay on the same address?
Up to 60 minutes with a sticky session, or you can rotate on every request. Both are set by a parameter on the connection.
Is there a minimum order?
No. Order from 1 GB with no monthly minimum, and pay only for the traffic you use.
What happens if the pool falls below the success rate target?
Service credits apply automatically, whether or not you noticed the breach: 10% of monthly spend per 0.1% below the target, up to 50%.
Where do residential addresses come from?
Peers who opted in through a partner application and are compensated for sharing bandwidth. The full sourcing standard, including the audit that reviews it twice a year, is on the sourcing and compliance page.
Can I authenticate by IP instead of a username and password?
Yes. Allowlist your egress IPs in the dashboard, or use rotating username:password credentials, whichever your infrastructure already expects.
Is there a free trial?
There is no separate trial on residential. With no monthly minimum, ordering a small package at the published rate serves the same purpose.
