I agree.. residential proxy is great. Correct me if I am wrong .. typically these depend on malware for the proxy service. First one I remember was TDL3, forever ago=)

Purpose normally probing organizations, general attempted anonymity. No darknet, CSAM, etc.. this things not for me.

However if you know of quality one, this is much needed and I am open to suggestions )

In 2024 .. it is not trivial to find any VPN+decent speed that the jerk-offs at Max Mind or related 'cybersecurity' / white hat corporate types not sell on proxy/blacklist to companies for much money... or maybe I old and grumpy things are not trivial like 10 years ago ;)

IPRoyal is a very shady company.

Their IP addresses are okay but their privacy policy is a big joke:

-They insist on a working telephone number. They ring you once every few days and they suspend your account if you don't answer.
-They insist on a live ID verification over webcam or mobile app, with your government issued photo ID and also want to see your face live on the cam.
This is even if you opt to pay by crypto instead of credit cards.

They have a history of selling user info gathered for verification, to marketers.
This is a strategy followed by many residential proxy/VPN providers these days. They claim that the ID verification is for security purposes and then sell it.
