A residential proxy sends your request out through a real home internet connection. The site you reach sees an ordinary consumer address with an ordinary provider behind it, in the country, state or city you asked for, which is why this is the type that is hardest to tell from a person at a keyboard. The pool spans 195+ countries.
You buy bandwidth, not addresses. One plan gives you every country and both kinds of session, and the amount of data you bought is the only thing that runs out.
$2.99 per GB, flat. One gigabyte costs $2.99, ten cost $29.90, a hundred cost $299.00. You can order 1 to 1,000 GB at a time, with presets at 1, 3, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, and top up the same plan whenever you like. There is no monthly fee, no renewal and no auto-renew, because nothing expires: a gigabyte you did not use this month is still yours next year.
The plan's page on the dashboard shows what each hour used over the last 30 days, so a script that is burning data is visible before it empties the plan. The same figures are available from the API.
Targeting and the session ride in the password as tags, so one set of credentials does everything. _country-US pins the exit to a country, _state-new.york and _city-brooklyn narrow it further, and _lifetime-30_session-k2p9x7vq keeps the same household for 30 minutes under that session name. Leave the lifetime and session off and every request leaves from a new address. A sticky session can last from 1 to 1440 minutes.
You do not have to build the strings by hand: the dashboard generates them in the formats most tools expect, one or a list of up to 100 with distinct session names, and the API returns the same. The comparison guide and the sticky-session guide go through the details.
The gateway is residential.ghostconnect.io: port 1080 for HTTP and 1081 for SOCKS5, with 1111 and 2222 as second ports for networks that block the first. Authentication is a username and password that work from any address, so you never have to tell us where you connect from. If you would rather skip the password on a server, you can allowlist its IP; that is optional, and the only place an address of yours is ever stored.
Credentials appear on the dashboard the moment the payment confirms, with ready-to-paste connection strings for curl, browsers and scrapers.
Good for: anything that checks whether you look like a person. Price and availability checks across regions, verifying how a page or an advert renders in another country, account work that must come from a plausible home address, scraping sites that block hosting ranges on sight.
Not for: bulk transfer. Every byte is metered, so downloading large files or streaming through a residential proxy is the most expensive way to do it; a datacenter proxy with unlimited bandwidth is the right tool there. If you need one address that stays the same for months rather than a day, look at ISP proxies.
The network records the destination and the response status of each request it carries, used to measure success rates and replace exits that stop working, and nothing else. The address you connect from is never logged, and the content of what you send is not looked at. Your account is a random key: there is no name, email or phone number anywhere to attach a request to. The privacy page lists everything this site stores.
No. You buy bandwidth at $2.99 per GB and it stays on the plan until you use it. There is no monthly fee and nothing to renew.
One gigabyte, for $2.99. The largest single order is 1,000 GB, and you can top up the same plan as often as you like.
Yes. Add a country, and optionally a state and a city, to the password; the dashboard builds the string for you. State and city targeting always need a country.
Anywhere from 1 to 1440 minutes, set per session in the password. When the lifetime ends, the next request with that session name gets a new exit.
Yes. HTTP on port 1080 and SOCKS5 on port 1081, with a second port of each kind for networks that block the first.
No. The username and password work from any address. Allowlisting an IP is optional, for servers where you would rather not send a password.
Your account is a random 32-character key, shown once. Pay in Monero, Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum or USDT, or by card on Stripe's page. There is no field anywhere for a name or an email.
Four proxy types, four different trades between how real the address looks, what it costs and how long it lasts. The comparison guide puts them side by side.
Rotating versus sticky residential sessions, how the session rides in the password, lifetime limits, targeting, and the mistakes that cost people their exit.
What each of the four GhostConnect proxy types is, how it is billed and authenticated, what it is good and bad at, with live prices and limits.
What a card, each coin and cash by mail leave behind, how the balance works, and what happens when a crypto payment is late or short.
A random key is the whole account. Pay in crypto or by card, and the credentials appear the moment the payment confirms. Nobody on file behind the exit.
