Before understanding the use of residential agents, you need to first understand what residential IP addresses are. These are IP addresses provided to homeowners from their Internet service providers. Each family has its own resident IP and has some information, such as the approximate location and name of the ISP company.

The main advantage of these IP addresses is that they are legal and marked as legal homes. They are not data centers and cannot be easily banned (unless they are considered spam). This makes them ideal for agents

Home IP is the actual home IP address assigned to individual users by ISP (Internet service provider) or ADSL provider. Our home IP network covers more than 300 cities and autonomous regions across the country and is composed of 100% of real WiFi users. Home IP is the real user equipment IP, which is completely consistent with the IP used by ordinary network users.

What are the characteristics of home IP?

Home IP has the characteristics of non serial number, scattered distribution and consistent distribution with ordinary Internet users. Compared with computer room and other IP, it has higher success rate and lower probability of being ban, but it will be slightly worse in maintaining stability. It has great advantages in crawler collection, replenishment service, SEO and other services that require a large number of short-term dynamic IP!

What is an exclusive IP address?

Exclusive IP is to ensure that the same IP can only be used by the same customer at the same time, so as to ensure the success rate and stability of the business. Compared with shared IP, when the same IP is allocated to multiple different users, it has higher stability and connectivity, higher efficiency, but the cost is slightly higher than shared IP.

What is a home agent?

Unlike data center agents, legitimate ISPs provide residential agents to homeowners. These are the real IP addresses connected to the home by Internet service providers (such as Verizon, cognate, Comcast and most ISPs). They are trusted by most websites and are not easy to be blacklisted.

The residential agent is associated with the actual physical location. Your ISP will provide you with a unique IP address based on your location. That is your residential IP.

Data center agent pool

The data center agent pool is an agent pool that contains only the data center IP. Data center IP is the IP owned and managed by data centers (such as Baidu cloud, Alibaba cloud, Amazon AWS, vultr, digital ocean, linode). The data center agent pool enjoys all the advantages and suffers from all the disadvantages associated with data center agents. Agents in the data center agent pool have many obstacles because they are easy to detect.

Many complex websites use data center agents for a large number of spam processing, so they are specially reviewed, and considering the fact that they are unique, they can be easily detected and blocked.
