For residential IPs you can't even pay per month like normal VPNs, normally they charge per GB, usually over $2 usd per GB.
- nemomarx 10mo agoIs this be cause they're paying the residential proxy owners some of it?
- aryonoco 10mo agoI can assure you they are not.
- bakugo 10mo agoMost of the people whose devices and connections are being used as residential proxy exit nodes are not aware of it. They likely charge per GB because these residential connections are slow and limited compared to datacenter connections (doesn't help that they're often located in third world countries), and are often used for aggressive scraping, so charging a fixed monthly price would not be viable.
- h33t-l4x0r 10mo agoProbably safe to assume that yours is. Especially if a teenager is using your wifi.
- Scoundreller 10mo agoDamn, I’m throwing away hundreds of dollars per month. And I can get a semi-anonymous cable internet connection too (if your line is “hot”, you could sign up with any address… not sure if it has to be under the same node or just the same city). Would be difficult, but not impossible, to track down which residence the shadow connection is coming from.
