Test ISP-origin routing
Residential IPv4 changes the visible network origin. Validate target acceptance because other automation signals still remain.
Web scraping proxies
Collect data through the 50M+ GB-based residential IPv4 pool, with rotation and location controls across 150+ countries.
Test the network before you buy. No card required.

The problem
Scraping at scale breaks without the right IPs
Destinations can rate-limit or challenge automated traffic based on network origin, request rate, address reputation, account behavior, browser signals, and other controls. A proxy changes the route; it does not guarantee access.
Datacenter ranges are easier to classify as hosted infrastructure, while residential proxies use ISP-origin addresses. Whether that changes the response depends on the destination and the rest of the request behavior.
Residential IPv4 can help test localized content, distribute authorized requests across a larger pool, and keep one exit during a multi-page flow. Measure successful responses, retries, challenges, latency, and usable exit geography on the exact target.
Use rotation only where independent requests permit it, use sticky sessions where a flow needs continuity, respect destination terms and rate limits, set explicit timeouts, and cap retries so failures do not create uncontrolled traffic.
If you're comparing workflows before you commit, explore all proxy use cases to see which setup fits best.
How TrueProxies solves it
Residential routing you can test
Choose a measurable billing model
Unlimited plans bill by speed tier and duration; GB-based plans bill transferred data. Compare both with the same crawl.
Validate available locations
Residential IPv4 Unlimited supports country and city targeting; GB-based additionally supports region and ASN targeting.

Frequently asked questions
What type of proxy should I test for web scraping?
Start from the target requirements. Residential IPv4 is worth testing for ISP-origin traffic or granular geography; Datacenter IPv6 may fit targets that accept infrastructure IPv6. Compare successful responses and cost.
What are the limits of proxy rotation for scraping?
Rotation can distribute independent requests across available exits, but it does not prevent rate limits, browser fingerprinting, or repeated-address assignment. Respect target limits and measure the result.
Compare rotating proxies with sticky sessionsCan I use TrueProxies with Scrapy or Puppeteer?
Yes. TrueProxies works with Scrapy, Puppeteer, Playwright, Selenium, Beautiful Soup, and any tool that supports standard HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy configuration.
Can AI agents and LLM data pipelines use the same proxies?
Yes. Browser agents, RAG retrieval and training crawls all run through the same gateway. Agents keep one sticky session per task; pipelines rotate per request. The AI agents page carries measured traffic per page for HTML fetches, asset-blocked browsers and full renders, and tested configs for Crawl4AI, Firecrawl and Browser Use.
Proxies for AI agentsShould I use unlimited or GB-based proxies for scraping?
Choose unlimited if you run large or continuous crawls. Choose GB-based if you scrape in short bursts or are still estimating your bandwidth requirements.
Do residential proxies guarantee access through anti-bot services?
No. Residential origin is one signal among many. Challenge and block decisions depend on the destination, address reputation, request behavior, browser signals, and account context.
