France Proxies
France's CNIL is the most aggressive GDPR enforcer in Europe, and French websites routinely block foreign IPs to comply with strict data residency expectations. French proxies are essential for accessing LVMH-group storefronts with EUR pricing, monitoring Leboncoin listings that geo-fence to specific departments, and collecting data from government portals like BOAMP that require French IP addresses.

}'Proxy types
Residential Proxies
Route through real home internet connections. Residential IPs are assigned by ISPs to homeowners, making them virtually indistinguishable from regular users. Best for accessing sites with strict bot detection.
ISP Proxies
Data-center IPs registered to legitimate internet service providers. Faster than residential with good trust scores. Ideal for large-scale operations where speed matters more than stealth.
Mobile Proxies
Route through real 4G/5G cellular connections. Mobile IPs are shared by thousands of real users on carrier NAT, making them nearly impossible to block. Highest anonymity tier.

Is there a latency difference for France proxies?
