Residential proxy
A proxy server that routes traffic through an IP address assigned by a consumer ISP, so requests appear to come from an ordinary home connection.
A residential proxy routes your traffic through an IP address that a consumer internet provider assigned to a real household. To the destination website, the request originates from an ordinary home connection in a specific city and country, complete with an ISP name that matches consumer internet service. Providers operate large pools of these addresses and typically sell access by bandwidth, with options to target a country or city and to either rotate IPs or hold one for a session.
Residential IPs matter wherever the realism and location of the connection affect what you see. Ad verification teams need to load a campaign from a genuine consumer connection in the target region, since many ads render differently or not at all for data center traffic. Market researchers and price-comparison work need the localized version of a page. The trade-offs are cost and speed: residential bandwidth is far more expensive and generally slower than data center capacity.
Oculr does not sell proxy traffic; it integrates with the providers you already use. Proxies are configured per profile, and the provider vault lets you connect Bright Data, Oxylabs, Decodo, IPRoyal, SOAX, NetNut, or a custom provider once and bind profiles to it. Timezone, language, and geolocation align to the proxy automatically, so the browser's claimed location matches where its traffic actually exits.
