Residential proxies: rotating or sticky, pay per GB

What are residential proxies and how do they work?

A residential proxy is an IP address that an internet provider assigned to a home connection. You send requests to our gateway, and they leave through a residential IP in the location you chose, so websites answer as they would for a local household visitor.

You never manage a list of home IPs yourself. Every package gets a gateway host, a port and a login, and the main login exits from any country. For a location, create an access list in your dashboard: pick a country, then optionally a region, city or ISP, and choose a rotation. The list gets its own login and up to 1,000 ports. Your tool connects to the gateway with that login, and the gateway picks a residential IP that matches the list.

Because the IPs belong to ordinary home connections, the pages you load show the same prices, rankings, ads and content a person in that place would see. That is what makes residential proxies the usual choice for localised monitoring and research.

Rotating vs sticky sessions

Rotation decides how long you keep one IP. You can set it on the main login and on each access list, and change it whenever your job changes.

Target by country, region, city or ISP

Choose a location from 220+ countries and regions, then narrow it to a region, a city or an internet provider when your job needs it. Leave it at country level for the widest choice of IPs.

Each package can hold up to 20 access lists. A list has its own login, location, rotation setting and 1 to 1,000 ports, and you can export it as a .txt file. Use one list per market, per client or per tool, all paid from the same traffic.

US and UK residential proxies

US and UK targeting is available on every package through an access list: pick a US state or city, or a UK nation (England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland) or city, to see local search results, store prices and ads as people there see them.

How much do residential proxies cost?

Residential proxies are billed per GB of traffic. You buy a package, every request counts towards it, and the price per GB falls as the package gets bigger. There is no subscription and no setup fee.

A light monitoring job that loads text pages can run for weeks on a few GB. Jobs that load full pages with images use more. Start with a small package, check the usage in your dashboard, then size up.

How to set up residential proxies

1. Copy the gateway details. Open My proxies and copy the gateway host, port, login and password. Residential proxies use a login and password only.
2. Set location and rotation. Keep the main login, or create an access list with its own location, rotation and ports.
3. Connect your tool. Use http://login:password@host:port for HTTP(S) or socks5h://login:password@host:port for SOCKS5. Scrapy, Playwright, Puppeteer and Selenium all accept this format.

curl -x http://LOGIN:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT https://t7proxy.com/ip

import requests

proxy = "http://LOGIN:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT"
r = requests.get("https://t7proxy.com/ip", proxies={"http": proxy, "https": proxy})
print(r.text)

import { ProxyAgent, fetch } from "undici";

const agent = new ProxyAgent("http://LOGIN:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT");
const res = await fetch("https://t7proxy.com/ip", { dispatcher: agent });
console.log(await res.text());

Once it is connected, check that your proxy works: open What is my IP through the proxy and confirm that it shows the proxy's IP and country, not your own. To test a list of proxies at once, paste them into the free proxy checker.
