Residential Proxies from $1 per GB
Send requests through IP addresses that home internet providers like Comcast, AT&T and Verizon assign to real households. Sites see an ordinary visitor from the country, state or city you pick, not a server rack.
Rotate to a new IP on every request or hold one for a whole session. Pay per GB, and spend the same balance on mobile and datacenter IPs when a job needs them.

One balance, three proxy types
Every GB works as residential, mobile or datacenter traffic. Switch the type in the connection string — no separate plans, no balance stuck in the wrong product.
Gateways on three continents
One hostname, gateways in the US, Europe and Asia. DNS sends you to the nearest one, so the first hop stays short wherever your servers run.
IPs screened before you get them
Exit IPs are checked against Scamalytics fraud data and our own databases, and flagged addresses stay out of rotation.

Start in four steps
- Create an account Sign up with email or Google.
- Top up your wallet Add funds from $1 by card, PayPal or crypto — or pay for the order directly.
- Buy traffic Orders start at 19 GB. Your proxy credentials appear in the dashboard as soon as the traffic is on your balance.
- Turn on auto top-up Optional: refill traffic from your wallet when it runs low. Your first auto top-up adds 10% extra traffic.
What will my traffic cost?
Page sizes measured on October 1, 2026: compressed transfer per page, with headers and a new TLS connection each time.
Images, scripts and fonts only load in a browser; blocking the ones you don't need is the fastest way to cut traffic. For a detailed plan, use the proxy traffic calculator.

The smallest order, 19 GB for $19, covers ≈80,900 pages like these.
We tested the pool. Here are the raw numbers.
Numbers on a proxy page are easy to write and hard to check. So we ran the tests ourselves, wrote down the method and kept the failures in.

City-level IP geolocation is approximate in every database. Most misses landed in the same metro area or region.
In a real browser
Some stores judge the browser as much as the IP. So we also opened them the way a shopper does — home page first, then a search — in a Gologin profile on a fresh US residential IP and empty cookies each time.
No "Robot or human?" page or captcha in any of these runs; the misses were page-load errors, not blocks. IPs from the same pool drew challenges when the request came from a plain script or headless Chrome — more on that below.
How we tested
- When and where. October 1, 2026, 17:34–18:08 UTC, from a machine in Warsaw, Poland. Traffic went through our European gateway.
- Network runs. A Node.js script (undici) opened a new proxy connection for every request — that is how per-connection rotation hands out a new IP. The target was ipinfo.io/json, a ~1 KB response that never blocks, so the numbers describe the network rather than a website's bot rules. Up to 20 requests ran in parallel with a 30-second limit each.
- What counts. Success means an HTTP 2xx answer with the expected body; timeouts and errors count as failures. In run 1 every failed request went through on one retry. Location and network names are as reported by ipinfo.io.
- Browser runs. Gologin (Orbita) desktop profile with a time zone matched to the IP; a new sticky US session and empty cookies per run; ten runs, one of which failed to start.
- For scale. Proxyway's Proxy Market Research 2026 benchmarked 13 residential providers on a similar small page with millions of requests over 21 days; success rates ranged from 95.3% to 99.9% and response times from 0.41 to 2.61 s. Our run is far smaller and from one place, so read it as a spot check, not a ranking.

Residential, mobile, ISP or datacenter: which one fits?
Rotating residential, mobile and datacenter traffic all come from the same balance, so you can pick per job.
| Property | Residential | Mobile | Static residential (ISP) | Datacenter |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Where the IP comes from | Home broadband connections | 4G/5G mobile carriers | ISP-registered IPs, hosted for you | Servers in data centers |
| How the IP changes | Per connection, on a timer, or sticky | Per connection, on a timer, or sticky | Stays yours for the month | Rotating, or one fixed IP |
| Best for | Sites that block server IPs, price monitoring, SERP tracking, ad checks | Mobile-first platforms and apps that trust carrier IPs | Logins and accounts that need one IP for weeks | High-volume jobs on sites with light bot protection |
| Locations | 148 countries | 150 countries | You pick a country per IP | 71 countries (rotating) |
| Price at Floppydata | $1.00/GB | $1.00/GB, same balance | from $1.79 per IP/month | $1.00/GB rotating · static from $0.79 per IP/month |
Why requests get flagged, and what actually helps
A clean home IP is necessary, not sufficient. In our test, IPs from the same pool that loaded Walmart in a real browser got a "Robot or human?" page when the request came from a script or headless Chrome.
The browser gives itself away
Anti-bot systems compare what a client claims to be with how it behaves — the TLS handshake, headers, JavaScript APIs. Plain HTTP libraries and headless browsers stand out on any IP.
Location doesn't add up
A US IP with a European time zone or language looks off. Match the browser's time zone and locale to the exit IP; anti-detect browsers and Cloud Browser can do it for you.
Timing tells
Proxied traffic takes extra hops, and researchers detect proxies by comparing round-trip times at different network layers. Shorter routes, like a nearby gateway, also mean faster pages.
Sessions behave like no person would
A login that hops to a new IP on every click is a red flag. Use sticky sessions for anything with an account or a cart, open the site the way a visitor does, and keep request rates human.

Buy residential proxiesWhat is a residential proxy?
A residential proxy is an intermediary that sends your traffic through an IP address an internet provider assigned to a home connection. Websites see a regular household visitor in the location you choose instead of your own IP or a data center address.
How does a residential proxy work?
Your software connects to a gateway — for Floppydata, geo.g-w.info — and passes the location and session settings in the username. The gateway relays the connection through an online device on a home network in that location, and the response comes back the same way. A new connection gets a new IP unless you use a sticky session.
How much do residential proxies cost?
Floppydata charges $1.00 per GB for traffic that stays valid for 30 days and $1.50 per GB for traffic that never expires. The smallest order is 19 GB ($19). You pay only for traffic, and the same GB also work as mobile and datacenter proxies.
Does residential proxy traffic expire?
Expiring GB ($1.00 each) stay valid for 30 days after purchase. Non-expiring GB ($1.50 each) stay on your balance until you use them. If you have both, expiring GB are used first and non-expiring GB start when they run out.
Is there a free trial?
There's no free traffic, but you can start small: the smallest order is 19 GB for $19. If the service doesn't work as described, a purchase with less than 1 GB used can be reviewed for a refund within 3 days — the refund policy lists the conditions. Cloud Browser is free for proxy users.
What's the difference between rotating and sticky residential proxies?
Rotating proxies give you a new IP for every connection, which suits scraping at scale. Sticky sessions keep one IP across requests, which suits logins, carts and multi-step flows. Floppydata also offers timed rotation: a new IP every 5, 10, 15, 20 or 60 minutes.
How long does a sticky session last?
A sticky session keeps its IP while you keep using it and ends after 10 minutes without traffic. Home devices sometimes go offline; when that happens the session continues on a new IP in the same location, so build retries into long jobs.
Which countries and cities can I target?
Residential traffic covers 148 countries, 442 cities and 481 states and regions, and you can also target a network by ASN. The live list is in the dashboard and in the locations API.
Do Floppydata residential proxies support SOCKS5 and UDP?
Yes. Connect over HTTP or HTTPS on port 10080 or over SOCKS5 on port 10800 with the same credentials. UDP is available over SOCKS5.
Are residential proxies legal?
Using a proxy is legal in most countries. What you do through it still has to be legal and respect each website's terms. Our Acceptable Use Policy lists what isn't allowed, such as fraud, fake traffic, account abuse and collecting personal data unlawfully.
Should I use residential or datacenter proxies?
Use residential IPs when a site blocks server addresses or shows different content to local visitors. Use datacenter IPs when speed matters and the site doesn't care where traffic comes from. At Floppydata both come from the same balance at $1.00 per GB, so you can choose per job.
How much traffic does web scraping use?
It depends on what you load. In our October 2026 measurement an Amazon search results page was about 235 KB as compressed HTML, so 1 GB covers roughly 4,200 pages. A full page view in a browser with images took 3–11 MB; blocking images, video and fonts cuts that sharply.
