What are ISP proxies?
These are static residential proxies that are purchased or rented from Internet Service Providers (ISPs). The IP addresses are hosted on servers in data centers, but the target sites identify them as real users. Requests are routed through the data center, so there are fewer “hops” along the way. This means that data collection tasks can be completed faster than the industry average. On the other hand, ISP proxies can handle fewer concurrent requests and work with target sites that have simple blocking mechanisms and complex site architecture.
What are Residential Proxies?
Residential proxies consist of a global network of real users who have opted into the network in exchange for a reward (such as a free premium membership to an app). Since requests for residential data are routed through real devices, the data extraction process can take longer. But on the other hand, they are almost never blocked, even when trying to scrape very complex open-source sites. The information received is almost always accurate depending on the GEO, device or operating system (OS) of the user's choice.
This truth follows from the fact that data requests are sent through real, local user devices (for example, a teacher in London who connected her home computer). In addition, the size of the network itself, as a function of peers (or network participants), means that a virtually unlimited number of simultaneous requests can be sent.
For successful carding, residential proxies are best suited, which should be selected according to the ZIP or city of the cardholder.
However, if you know the cardholder's Internet provider, then you can use an ISP proxy.
