The most common proxy types are residential, mobile, ISP, and datacenter proxies.

​
Residential Proxies

Residential proxies use IP addresses assigned to real household devices by internet service providers. Because they appear as normal users, they are harder for websites to detect. They are commonly used for:
  • social media management
  • advertising accounts
  • e-commerce platforms
  • account management
Residential proxies are usually more expensive but provide higher trust levels.

​
Mobile Proxies

Mobile proxies route traffic through mobile carrier networks (4G or 5G). These IP addresses are shared by many real mobile users, which makes them highly trusted by websites. They are commonly used for:
  • social media automation
  • ad verification
  • mobile platform testing

​
ISP Proxies

ISP proxies are hosted in data centers but registered through internet service providers. They combine some advantages of both datacenter and residential proxies:
  • stable IP addresses
  • good speed
  • higher trust compared to datacenter proxies
They are often used for:
  • SEO monitoring
  • account management
  • long-term sessions

​
Datacenter Proxies

Datacenter proxies are hosted on servers in data centers rather than residential networks. They are usually faster and cheaper than residential proxies, but websites may detect them more easily. They are commonly used for:
  • web scraping
  • automation tasks
  • testing workflows
