Premium residential proxies route your traffic through a curated pool of more than 15 million clean residential IPs. They’re built for targets with strict anti-bot protection, where IP reputation decides whether a request gets through. Premium residential uses the same gateway, ports, and parameters as residential proxies. The only difference in your proxy line is package-premium instead of package-standard.

What makes premium IPs different

Most blocks and CAPTCHAs are triggered by IP reputation, not by what you actually do. Standard residential IPs come from a much larger, less filtered pool. Premium IPs are selected for their history:
  • Clean histories. IPs haven’t been flagged, recycled across thousands of users, or associated with abusive traffic.
  • No proxy-detection history. Each IP is screened to make sure it has never been detected as a proxy by major fingerprinting databases.
  • Continuous monitoring. We monitor IP reputation against third-party blacklists and our own detection signals. IPs that show signs of degraded trust are rotated out of the pool and replaced.
The result is IPs that pass trust checks on sites protected by services like Cloudflare, Akamai, and DataDome — checks that often trip up standard residential IPs.

​
When to use premium

Switch a workload from residential to premium when you see:
  • Elevated CAPTCHA rates on a target, even with realistic request pacing.
  • Frequent blocks or inconsistent success across sessions.
  • High-stakes flows — e-commerce checkouts, social platforms, and travel sites — where a failed request costs more than the difference in bandwidth price.
For everything else, residential proxies cost less and have no site restrictions.
Premium residential proxies are blocked on payment providers and government websites. Use residential proxies for those targets.

Rotating (no session)

Every request gets a new premium IP:

Sticky sessions

Hold the same premium IP across requests for a number of minutes. This example keeps a UK IP for 20 minutes:
Session IDs follow the same rules as residential: letters and digits, no hyphens, and a new ID gets a new IP.
