# Proxy types

> Residential, mobile, ISP, datacenter

The target site sees the proxy's IP, not your real one. All four types are available in the bot: residential and mobile are billed by traffic (rotating), ISP and datacenter are billed per IP (static).

## Types by IP origin

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Residential" icon="house">
    Home IPs from real ISPs. High trust, rarely banned. Rotating, billed by traffic.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Mobile" icon="mobile-screen">
    Carrier IPs on 3G/4G/5G. Maximum trust; the IP is shared by thousands of subscribers. Rotating, billed by traffic.
  </Card>

  <Card title="ISP" icon="building-columns">
    Dedicated ISP IPs: datacenter stability plus residential reputation. Static, billed per IP.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Datacenter" icon="server">
    Datacenter IPs. Fast and cheap, easier to detect. Static, billed per IP.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Pricing

Billed per 30-day cycle, with volume discounts: the more you buy, the cheaper the unit. Live prices are always shown in the bot.

<Info>
  Geo is set right at checkout: **country → region → city → carrier (mobile) / ISP (residential)**. You can type an ISO code or country name, or pick "any country". Available locations depend on the pool — the current list is shown in the bot.
