Why choose paid native residential VPN over free proxies?

Free proxies are a gamble. Their operators are often unknown, so your data may be logged and sold, intercepted, or tampered with. Many free proxies don't even hide your real IP address. And because thousands of people share them, they're slow, frequently blacklisted, and can go offline without warning.

CometVPN's Native Residential service gives you real ISP-assigned IPs with country, state, city and ISP targeting. Generate proxy credentials in your dashboard and use them in any browser, scraping or automation tool, with a new IP on every request or a sticky session when you need one. You only pay for the traffic you use, and it never expires.

Want to protect your whole device, not just one app? Use the same residential IPs in our VPN apps, which encrypt all your traffic. And if you need an IP that's yours alone, get a dedicated residential IP with unlimited data.

Need something more reliable?

Free proxies can't match the encryption, speed, and reliability of a VPN. Here's how CometVPN keeps you protected.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a free proxy server?

A free proxy server acts as a middleman between your device and the internet, letting you browse with a different IP address. While free proxies can help with basic anonymity, they lack the encryption, speed, and reliability of a full VPN service.

Are free proxies safe to use?

Free proxies carry real risks. Public proxy servers can be operated by anyone - including bad actors who log your personal data, inject malware into unencrypted HTTP traffic, or perform man-in-the-middle attacks to steal credentials. Unlike a VPN, free proxies don't encrypt your connection, leaving everything you send and receive exposed. For anything beyond throwaway browsing, a trusted VPN like CometVPN is the safer choice.

How is a VPN different from a proxy?

A proxy only reroutes traffic from a single app or browser, while a VPN encrypts all traffic from your device. VPNs provide full privacy protection, prevent ISP tracking, and secure your connection on public networks - things a proxy simply cannot do. With CometVPN, you can use the same residential IPs either way.

What is the difference between a proxy list and a web proxy?

A web proxy is a website where you paste a URL and browse through the site itself - no setup needed, but limited to basic browsing. A proxy list gives you IP addresses and ports that you configure in your browser, scraping tool, or automation software. Proxy lists offer more control and work with a wider range of applications, but the proxies are often short-lived and require regular updates.

Can I use free proxies for web scraping?

You can, but it rarely goes well. Public proxies are overloaded and get blacklisted quickly, which leads to constant connection failures and IP bans. For reliable scraping, use CometVPN's Native Residential proxies. Generate your credentials in the dashboard and use them in any scraping or automation tool. You get real ISP-assigned IPs across 195+ locations, a new IP on every request or a sticky session, and country, state, city and ISP targeting. These IPs are far less likely to be blocked, so your scraping runs much more smoothly.

Why are free proxies so slow and unreliable?

Free proxies are shared by thousands of simultaneous users, which means bandwidth is severely limited. They also get discovered and blacklisted by websites quickly, leading to frequent connection drops. Because there is no financial incentive to maintain them, free proxies go offline without notice. Paid services like CometVPN maintain dedicated infrastructure with guaranteed bandwidth and uptime.

What is a Dedicated Residential IP?

A Dedicated Residential IP from CometVPN gives you a private, non-shared IP address from a real ISP network. It's yours alone - no one else uses it. This is ideal for secure remote access, streaming, or any situation where you need a consistent, trusted IP with unlimited data and always-on encryption.

What is the Native Residential service?

CometVPN's Native Residential service gives you real ISP-assigned IP addresses with country, state, city and ISP targeting. Use it in our VPN apps, which encrypt all your device's traffic, or generate proxy credentials in your dashboard for browsers, scraping and automation tools.
