Residential proxies are IP addresses assigned by internet service providers to actual households. When traffic is routed through these IPs, it appears as if it is coming from a real user, not a server. Datacenter proxies, while fast, are easily identified and frequently blocked.
Residential proxies provide:
Authenticity: traffic blends seamlessly with everyday users.
Security: fewer CAPTCHAs, fewer bans, and more accurate data access.
For organizations, this means higher success rates in scraping, automation, and global content access.
Static vs. Rotating Residential Proxies
PacketStream offers two types of residential proxies to fit different operational requirements:
Static Residential Proxies
A consistent IP address suitable for account logins, testing environments, and use cases that require long-term stability.
Rotating Residential Proxies
IPs that refresh, supporting large-scale scraping, data collection, and projects that require flexibility and anonymity.
Transparent Pricing
Our pricing model makes buying residential proxies simple and straightforward:
- Residential Proxies — $1.00 per GB, pay-as-you-go.
- Bandwidth Sharing Program — Earn $0.10 per GB by sharing unused bandwidth.
No contracts. No hidden fees. Businesses can scale usage up or down depending on their needs, ideal for both small projects and enterprise operations.
Why Residential Proxies Are Essential for Reliable Web Access
Websites increasingly deploy advanced methods to detect and block automated traffic. Datacenter IPs are often flagged, restricted, or fed misleading information.
PacketStream’s residential proxies eliminate these barriers. By routing requests through authentic residential IPs, users avoid red flags and maintain uninterrupted access to the information they need. The outcome is consistent: cleaner data, higher accuracy, and dependable workflows.

Common Questions
Why choose residential proxies?
Residential proxies provide authentic IPs that reduce bans and deliver accurate data – advantages datacenter proxies cannot match.
How are they different from datacenter proxies?
Datacenter IPs originate from servers, making them easy to detect. Residential IPs come from real households, blending naturally with everyday traffic.
Can I select specific countries or cities?
Yes. Geo-targeting is available, offering precise control over your data collection.
Do you offer a trial?
Yes. A free trial is available to evaluate performance before scaling. Contact support to request trial credits.
What is the pricing model?
Residential proxies are billed at $1.00 per GB, with no contracts or hidden charges.

Common Questions
Why choose residential proxies over a data center proxy?
Residential proxies use authentic residential IP addresses from real households provided by an internet service provider. This makes them harder to detect compared to a data center proxy, which is server-based and often flagged or blocked.
How does a proxy server help with market research and brand protection?
A proxy server masks your identity and routes requests through a proxy network, allowing businesses to perform market research and monitor competitors without detection. It also supports brand protection by enabling secure tracking of counterfeit listings and unauthorized sellers.
What is the difference between a static proxy and a rotating residential proxy?
A static proxy provides a consistent dedicated IP address, ideal for account logins and long-term sessions. Rotating residential proxies automatically change IPs, offering greater anonymity and flexibility for high-volume scraping or automation.
Can I geo-target specific locations with your proxy network?
Yes. PacketStream’s proxy network supports geo-targeting at the country level. This enables businesses to access region-specific content, run localized campaigns, and conduct accurate market research worldwide.
Do you offer private proxy options for secure browsing?
Yes. PacketStream provides private proxy access through its residential IP pool, ensuring activities remain anonymous while reducing the risk of CAPTCHAs, bans, or misleading data.
What is your pricing model for residential proxies?
Our pricing is simple and transparent: $1.00 per GB of bandwidth with no contracts or hidden fees. Whether you need a static proxy for stability or rotating proxies for scale, you only pay for what you use.
What payment methods are available?
We accept PayPal and major credit cards. Wire transfer and other payment options may be available upon request.
Can I resell PacketStream residential proxies?
Yes, we offer a Reseller API that allows you to integrate PacketStream's services into your own offerings. This API enables you to resell our residential proxies, expanding your business capabilities and providing added value to your clients.
Are there prohibited uses of PacketStream?
Yes, while PacketStream provides powerful tools for various online activities, we prohibit illegal activities, including hacking, accessing illegal content, or any other activities that violate our Terms of Service. We are committed to maintaining a responsible and legally compliant network. Any legal and legitimate use of our service that does not violate any laws or the PacketStream Terms of Service is allowed.
How do I start using PacketStream?
Sign up for PacketStream on our website and add payment info in the Deposit section of the dashboard. Any browser, operating system, or automation tools that support HTTP and SOCKS5 proxy requests are compatible with PacketStream.
Are PacketStream’s IPs randomized or static, and how often do they rotate?
We offer both randomized and static IP options. Randomized IPs change with every new request. Static IPs remain consistent for scenarios where a single, steady IP address is needed. You can select which method you wish to use as part of the request.
How does PacketStream prevent websites from blocking access?
Many websites use IP lookup databases to determine a visitor's geolocation and whether the request is from a residential or datacenter IP. If traffic is determined to be from a restricted region or from a non-residential IP address, content is often blocked or restricted. PacketStream allows customers to relay their web requests through residential IP addresses to avoid these restrictions.
Can websites detect that I'm using a proxy?
No. PacketStream’s residential proxies are indistinguishable from normal user traffic, making detection extremely difficult.
Is communication secure?
Yes. A proxy client making HTTPS requests to an endpoint first initiates a TLS handshake that negotiates encryption keys directly with the endpoint server before any data is transmitted. The decryption key is never transmitted across the network and cannot be obtained by any Packeter relaying data in the middle. It's considered best practice to avoid relaying sensitive data to endpoints that don't support secure requests.
What proxy protocols are supported?
PacketStream supports HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS protocols. Any browser, operating system, or automation tools that support standard web proxy requests are compatible with PacketStream.
Can I use PacketStream for scraping and data aggregation at scale?
Absolutely. Our global network is designed for large-scale scraping, data aggregation, and other automation tasks, with flexible scaling options.
