As we all know, with the advent of the big data era, more and more companies and practitioners will be exposed to some overseas business. Therefore, many newcomers will encounter the choice between static residential proxy and dynamic residential proxy. They don’t know how to choose and what the difference is between the two. So here I will explain to you what is a static residential proxy? What are the usage scenarios? What is the difference between it and the dynamic one?

1. What is a static residential proxy?

First, let me talk about what an agent is.

A proxy is a special network service. In simple terms, a proxy is a transfer between the client and the external network. We can use a proxy to connect between the client and the server.

A static residential proxy is an intermediary IP address that is hosted on a data center but registered to an ISP (Internet Service Provider).

Static residential proxies combine the high speed of data center proxies and the anonymity of residential proxies, with real IP addresses officially assigned by ISPs. Static residential proxies have the advantages of both: fast and undetectable. And static residential proxies use fixed IPs, so they are more stable.

2. What are the usage scenarios of static housing? What is the difference between static housing and dynamic housing?

As the name suggests, the biggest difference between a dynamic residential proxy and a static one is that the IP address will change automatically at certain intervals.

Therefore, the usage scenarios and functions of static residential proxies are as follows:

1. Provide high anonymity and improve the security of network use;

2. Exclusive static residential proxy can avoid conflicts with other IP addresses and can be used for registration, etc.;

3. Compared with dynamic residential proxies, static residential proxies have more accurate geographic location information;

4. Generally speaking, the speed will be faster than dynamic residential proxy;

5. It uses a fixed IP address, which is not easily restricted due to IP address jumping;

6. Bypass the restrictions of some sites and access the Internet normally.
