MaskProxy currently provides four types of proxies for sale: rotating residential proxy - GB, rotating datacenter proxy - GB, static residential proxy - IP, static datacenter proxy - IP. Understanding the difference between "residential/datacenter" and "dynamic/static" can help you choose a suitable solution faster.
Look at two dimensions first
| Dimension | Meaning | More suitable scenarios |
|---|---|---|
| Residential proxy | Exit IP Closer to the real user network environment | Tasks that require more natural residential network characteristics, account scenarios, and access environments |
| datacenter proxy | Egress IP comes from the data center resource pool | Automated tasks that value speed, bandwidth, stable throughput, and cost control |
| Dynamic proxy | Egress IP Switchable by request, session or task | Batch access, data collection, tasks that require export rotation |
| Static proxy | Fixed exit IP, used for a fixed period of time | Account login, long-term tasks, network monitoring, scenarios that require stable identity |
How to choose four types of products
| Products | Billing method | Core features | Suitable scenarios |
|---|---|---|---|
| rotating residential proxy - GB | By GB Traffic accounting | Residential network features, exports can be rotated | Data collection, account-related tasks, residential IP required Access |
| rotating datacenter proxy - GB | By GB Traffic accounting | Fast speed, high bandwidth, and more controllable costs | Large-scale automation, price monitoring, interface connectivity testing |
| static residential proxy - IP | Fixed duration IP | Stable ISP Residential IP, suitable for long-term maintenance | Account management, fixed identity, business with high stability requirements |
| static datacenter proxy - IP | Fixed duration IP | Fixed datacenter exit, stable connection, low delay | Network monitoring, data analysis, long-term automation tasks |
Protocol Description
The above products support HTTP and SOCKS5 protocols when connected. SOCKS5 is a connection protocol, not a proxy product type sold separately.
