Clear definitions. No jargon soup.
A single gateway endpoint that routes your traffic through a rotating pool of residential IPs.
The total data transferred through a proxy connection. Billed per-GB or unmetered depending on provider.
The number of simultaneous connections your proxy plan supports. Directly determines throughput.
Hidden bandwidth caps on plans marketed as "unlimited." Not all unmetered plans are truly unmetered.
Selecting proxy IPs from specific countries, cities, or ISPs to access location-restricted content.
HTTP proxies can inspect traffic. HTTPS proxies create an encrypted tunnel. The difference matters.
Automatically cycling through different IP addresses on each request or at timed intervals.
The method used to verify your access to a proxy. Typically username:password or IP whitelisting.
The gateway address and port you connect to when routing traffic through a proxy service.
The collection of IP addresses available for rotation. Pool size directly affects reliability and coverage.
An IP address assigned by a real ISP to a home address. The gold standard for looking like a real user.
A proxy that assigns a new IP address on each connection request. Essential for large-scale data collection.
Managing when and how your proxy IP changes. Random rotation, sticky sessions, or timed intervals.
A protocol-agnostic proxy that handles any type of traffic, not just HTTP. More versatile than HTTP proxies.
Maintaining the same IP address across multiple requests. Critical for account management and logins.
