01 What residential bypasses

Why residential passes.

Anti-bot systems classify traffic by IP origin. Residential IPs clear checks that block every other proxy type.

IP registry lookup

Registered to ISPs like Comcast, BT, Deutsche Telekom. Not flagged as hosting or cloud.

ASN reputation

Shares ASN with millions of real broadband subscribers. Clean history, no bulk abuse flags.

Geo consistency

IP geolocation matches a real city and postal code. Consistent with browser timezone and language.

Behavioral fingerprint

Combined with Spider's browser rendering, the full request looks like a real person on their home network.

02 Workloads

Built for these.

E-commerce price monitoring

Amazon, Shopify stores, and marketplaces actively block datacenter IPs. Residential returns the same prices and availability real shoppers see.

Ad verification

Verify ad placements as they appear to real users in specific cities. Detect fraud, check creative rendering, validate geo-targeting.

Brand protection

Monitor for counterfeit listings, trademark violations, and unauthorized resellers across marketplaces. Check region-locked content for local compliance.

Travel fare aggregation

Airlines and hotels price by visitor location and browsing history. Residential IPs from target countries return accurate local pricing without rate limits.

06 FAQ

Common questions.

What makes residential proxies different from datacenter proxies?

Residential IPs are assigned by internet service providers to real households. They share the same address space as regular internet users, so websites treat them as legitimate traffic. Datacenter IPs come from cloud hosting providers and are easier for anti-bot systems to identify and block.

How does Spider source residential IPs?

Spider aggregates residential IPs from multiple ethically sourced peer networks. Using multiple upstream providers means no single point of failure and broader geographic coverage than any single provider can offer.

When should I use residential vs ISP proxies?

Use residential when the target site has aggressive bot detection (e-commerce, social media, ticketing). Use ISP proxies when you need speed and volume on sites with moderate protection (SERPs, news, public directories). Residential costs more per request but has significantly higher success rates on protected targets.

Do residential proxies rotate automatically?

Yes. Every request gets a fresh IP by default. If you need the same IP for a multi-step flow (login, pagination), set a session ID to pin the IP for up to 10 minutes.

What is the success rate for residential proxies?

Residential proxies achieve 95%+ success rates on most websites, including those with Cloudflare, DataDome, and PerimeterX protection. Success rates vary by target, but residential consistently outperforms other proxy types on heavily protected sites.

Can I combine residential proxies with headless browsers?

Yes. Set proxy_enabled and use Spider's browser rendering together. The request will route through a residential IP while executing JavaScript in a real browser, combining network-level stealth with authentic browser fingerprints.
