Residential Proxies
Route requests through consenting home broadband connections. The hardest pool to detect, and the one to reach for when a target actively fingerprints its traffic.

How residential proxies actually work
A residential proxy borrows the IP address of a real home internet connection. To the site you are requesting, the traffic is indistinguishable from an ordinary person browsing on their own broadband line, because in network terms that is exactly what it is.
Every IP in the wproxy residential pool comes from a device whose owner opted in through one of our vetted SDK partners, is paid for the bandwidth they contribute, and can leave at any time. We re-verify consent on a rolling 30-day cycle and drop any partner that cannot evidence it.
Because the addresses belong to consumer ISPs rather than hosting providers, they carry none of the reputational baggage attached to datacenter ranges. That is what makes them the default choice for any target that scores IPs by ASN.
- 1
You send a request to one entry point
All residential traffic goes to res.wproxy.io on port 8000. There is no per-country hostname to maintain — targeting lives in the username string.
- 2
The gateway resolves your targeting
We parse the username modifiers, filter the live pool to peers matching your country, city and ASN constraints, and rank the candidates by recent success rate against the destination host.
- 3
The request exits from a residential line
Your payload leaves from a consumer broadband connection. The destination sees that ISP's address and geolocation, never ours.
- 4
The response comes back over the same tunnel
Sticky sessions pin the chosen peer for the session lifetime. Rotating sessions release it immediately so the next request picks a fresh address.
What you get with residential
Ethically sourced, continuously audited
Every contributing device has explicit, revocable consent and is compensated. We publish a sourcing summary each quarter and terminate partners who cannot evidence the chain.
City and ASN precision
Target down to a single city across 302 metros, or pin to a named carrier when you need traffic to look like it came from a specific ISP.
Sessions that actually hold
Sticky sessions survive up to two hours on the same exit IP. If the underlying peer drops, we surface it in the response headers rather than silently swapping you onto a new address.
Billed on successful bytes
Failed requests, blocked responses and CONNECT overhead are not billed. You pay for the payload you actually received.

Your endpoint
Targeting lives in the username, so one hostname covers every combination. Change any option above and the credentials update immediately.

Target residential exits by country and city — and, where the product supports it, right down to the network operator.

Reach for this when
- Targets that block datacenter ASNs outright
- Locale-accurate pricing, search and catalogue data
- Ad verification where the viewer must look organic
- Long-running account sessions
Look elsewhere when
- Very high-throughput bulk crawling of permissive targets — datacenter is far cheaper
- Workloads that need a fixed, unchanging IP for allowlisting — use ISP or dedicated
