What is a Static Residential Proxy (ISP proxy)?

Updated today

Static Residential Proxies, also known as ISP Proxies, are a hybrid proxy type that combines residential ISP authenticity with datacenter-level performance.

These proxies use IP addresses allocated by residential Internet Service Providers such as AT&T, Comcast, Sprint, RCN, and Cox Communications. However, unlike traditional residential proxies that route through home devices, Static Residential proxies are hosted on high-performance servers.


What does this hybrid setup mean for you?

You get the best of both worlds: the legitimacy of a residential ISP's ASN (Autonomous System Number) paired with the speed, stability, and reliability of datacenter infrastructure. This is why Static Residential proxies can deliver 300-400 Mbps speeds while maintaining the appearance of residential traffic to target websites.


Understanding ASN and Detection

The ASN is a unique identifier for your Internet Service Provider. When websites evaluate incoming traffic, they primarily check the ASN to determine whether an IP belongs to a residential ISP or a datacenter provider.

With our Static Residential Proxies:

  • The ASN will show a residential ISP (e.g., AT&T, Comcast, Cogent)

  • The ASN remains consistent across all websites

  • Some IP checker tools may classify the hosting environment as "datacenter" or "hosting". This is expected because the proxies are server-hosted, even though the IP range belongs to a residential ISP


Static by default, with flexibility

Our Static Residential Proxies maintain the same IP address for as long as you need. If you require IP rotation, you can add Auto-Refresh to your plan or use the Replace Proxies feature to get new IPs on demand.
