If you are working via the Internet, you heard of residential proxies. Some websites and platforms are blocked in certain areas and people leading business in or from those areas need to have a way to unblock them. A proxy changes your IP address so that no one can find out your location.
Proxies act like intermediaries between you and your destination site. They receive your IP and rotate it. The destination resource sees an absolutely different IP.
There are different reasons why people use proxies, not unblocking sites only. Proxies:
- increase the level of your security online by blocking malware and hackers;
- block unwanted advertisements and cookies;
- your searches will not be tracked;
- you will be able to scrape data.
There are various proxies, for example:
- residential;
- data-center;
- private;
- dedicated;
- shared;
- rotated;
- reverse.
So, why are rotating mobile proxies so popular? They use real IPs (on real computers).They are seen as real users.
