Today, the internet is available almost anywhere we go. It is such a big and constant part of our lives that we no longer think about its source. Internet connectivity, however, does not spring from nowhere.

Your internet connection is provided by your internet service provider (ISP). Your online privacy, security, internet stability, bandwidth, and other factors depend on your ISP – and they can see a lot of your data. Thus, it is worthwhile to know how to check your ISP and what you can do to improve your data privacy.

A residential proxy is a type of intermediary server that uses household IP addresses to mask your identity online. Unlike other similar servers that use cloud-hosted IPs, this proxy employs IP addresses that are assigned to physical devices in different residential areas by Internet Service Providers (ISPs).

When you send a request online while using this proxy, your request comes from one of the residential IP addresses assigned to a particular device owned by an actual person.

It seems like the request was sent from that device because your traffic is routed through a residential proxy as a middleman that uses this IP address.

Traffic becomes significantly less susceptible to tracking or figuring out your identity, which makes your web activities not linked to your physical location or other private data.
