ISP Proxy
An ISP proxy (static residential) is a datacenter-hosted IP that is registered to an Internet Service Provider, combining datacenter speed with residential-level trust.
Definition
An ISP proxy — also called a static residential proxy — is hosted in a data center but uses IP addresses registered to a real Internet Service Provider. The result is a hybrid: the speed and stability of datacenter infrastructure with the trust and legitimacy of a residential IP.
Why ISP proxies are popular
Because the IP looks residential to websites but lives on fast datacenter hardware, ISP proxies stay reliably online and quick while resisting blocks. They are typically static (the same IP for as long as you need), which suits account management and long sessions.
Examples
Managing multiple social accounts on stable, residential-looking IPs
Long scraping sessions that need a consistent IP and high speed

A mobile proxy routes traffic through real 3G/4G/5G cellular connections, using carrier-assigned IPs that are the hardest of all proxy types to detect or block.
Read definitionResidential Proxy
A residential proxy routes your traffic through a real device with an IP assigned by an Internet Service Provider, so requests appear to come from a genuine home user rather than a server.
