ISP Proxies on a VPS
Real identity, data center speed.
2025-11-28
Most proxies are trash.
Datacenter IPs get flagged instantly because they look like servers. Rotating residential IPs are legit, but they are slow, expensive, and disconnect when you need them most.
Enter the ISP Proxy (Static Residential).
The Sweet Spot
Providers like IPRoyal offer IPs that belong to legitimate ISPs (Verizon, Comcast, Orange) but are hosted in data centers.
You get the trust score of a home user combined with the bandwidth of a server. Perfect for:
- Multi-accounting (social media, ads).
- Sneaker bots.
- Scraping without getting CAPTCHA-slapped.
“Look like a human, act like a machine.”
How to use it on a VPS
Don’t overcomplicate the routing. If you are on a Linux VPS, you just need to tunnel your traffic through the proxy credentials provided by your supplier.
The quick check:
# Verify your real VPS IP first
curl ipinfo.io/ip
# Check the proxy connection (Replace details)
curl -x http://user:password@ip:port ipinfo.io/json
Make it permanent for the session:
If you are running a script (Python, Node, etc), just export the variables before running your app.
export http_proxy="http://user:password@ip:port"
export https_proxy="http://user:password@ip:port"
# Now run your script
python3 main.py
Your traffic now originates from the ISP proxy, not your VPS data center. You are invisible.
