With ethically sourced residential proxies, users are rewarded for their participation

Stuart Templeton, UK Director

Interest in proxy service solutions has accelerated in recent years as more and more people realize the benefits. Businesses and individuals find that they can shield their destination IP address, giving them a layer of privacy.

Users leverage proxy service solutions for scraping and data acquisition, browsing unblocked and undetected websites while comparing prices with competitors, and for SEO research. Individuals can also use proxies to access geo-restricted content and find great deals online for subscriptions and digital goods. People in countries where internet access is heavily restricted and controlled can use proxies to freely express their opinions and also share information. The pandemic has only increased demand, as proxy networks can help individuals and organizations securely access remote resources and connect to crucial data and applications.

Yet a major problem exists with most proxy services – many on the market, and residential proxies in particular, are unethically sourced. Residential proxies are acquired both through an internet service provider – where traffic is routed through the provider’s network – and more generally through the physical devices of ordinary people. Often these end users are unaware that they are participating in this home network. They did not give their consent. Recently, a proxy provider infected millions of devices with its malware, selling proxies “for every need”.

Ethically sourced proxy service solutions offer a better, more principled alternative. With over 2,849,053 IP addresses, IPRoyal has a residential proxy network made up of real IP addresses transparently sourced from real users who have provided consent. IPRoyal also rewards people who participate through its Pawns.app program. To participate, users download the IPRoyal app and agree to share their internet connection. IPRoyal pays for all the traffic it uses at $0.2 per GB. Users can share as much or as little as they want, and they can join or leave the network whenever they want.

IPRoyal benefits include 24/7 technical support and industry-leading value for money. Businesses can use home proxies to collect valuable data online that they can use to improve their operations. Businesses can review market trends, gather pricing information to optimize their strategy, and collect user feedback, which helps them improve their existing and future products and services. They can also perform SEO research and optimize their online presence to ensure their products appear above the competition in search engines. They can also access the web from the perspective of a regular Internet user in a specific region to check if their ads are displaying correctly for their target audience.

For businesses and individuals, the proxy provides valuable anonymity by hiding a person’s IP address, replacing it with the proxy’s own IP address, as well as the location of a person or entity. company and other identifiable data. This provides an additional layer of security that can significantly reduce the risk of cyberattacks.

IPRoyal’s four plans include:

• Residential proxies – these start at $4 per GB with excellent wholesale discounts (down to just $0.8 per GB). Traffic never expires. Their proxy pool covers over 190 countries worldwide.

• Data center proxies – these start at $1.5/proxy (or $7.5/month for 5 proxies), offer high speeds and unlimited bandwidth, and are easier to detect than residential proxies.
