Network types and how to choose
JoyProxy offers several proxy network types. IP source, trust, and cost differ, so pick a network before you buy Rotating Proxies.
How the four networks differ
| Network type | IP source and architecture | Trust and anti-block | Typical use cases |
|---|---|---|---|
| Residential Proxies | Real home broadband (for example Comcast, AT&T, Verizon). The ISP assigns the IP to a household. | Very high trust. Targets treat the visitor as a normal home user, so CAPTCHA and IP blocks are much less common. | Web data collection, e-commerce price and competitor checks, social account ops, ticket or limited-drop shopping. |
| Mobile Proxies | 4G/5G cellular IPs assigned to phones by carriers such as Verizon and Vodafone. | Highest anti-block rate. CGNAT means thousands of real phones share one IP, so sites rarely ban it. | Mobile app testing and scraping, mobile ad verification and anti-fraud checks, high-risk retries. |
| Business / ISP Proxies | Hosted on enterprise / data-center lines, but connected with commercial broadband / ISP credentials from a real carrier. | High trust + low latency. Residential-like trust (not flagged as a hosting ASN) with dedicated-line speed and stability. | B2B portals and enterprise systems, high-value long-lived business accounts, large-file transfer and continuous sync. |
| Datacenter Proxies | IPs from hosting providers such as AWS and Google Cloud. | High throughput and low cost, but easier to fingerprint (hosting ASN). | Large-scale public data collection with little anti-bot, search-engine monitoring, performance and load tests. |
