How do VPN companies get access to residential IPs?

1

there are some VPNs services that use residential IPs , so how these websites get access to all these residential IPs?

2

They don’t in short. They are masking a functioning IP. Until the address is completely burned and no website trusts the address.

3

I don’t think a lot of people know how IPs are handed out by the regional governing bodies.

What do you mean by “residential” ips?

4

Can you give more details or examples , please ?

5

Residential IP is the IP that appears coming from local isp, not datacenter is

6

I think it’s more than that

7

IP addresses are geographical and controlled globally by IANA

8

and if they have thousands of IPs this will be a massive problem to manage by this way , right ?

9

The VPN provider has numerous routers all with IP individual residential address. It is common for a VPN. However, the IP address is nothing but residential therefore it gets burn fast. This is way website test you worn some quiz to prove your human.

10

did they pay for ISP to get this number of routers with residential IPs ? or how they are dealing with the ISPs ?

11

according to your way managing, manging a massive number of IPS will be very difficult if they want to change the method they work or add a new feature, they have to change or make an update on all the houses they manage

I can specify how providers choose to offer different Hosts to customers. They may not have to pay for core access to the internet grid , some nations offer access for free. - the well known players are probably running real hosts designed by their engineers in various points around geographic area then, leasing Available host serves to further complicate the depth of their effectiveness. The design teams spend their days regularly updating codes that mimicking the real sever into dozen of IP address that are good enough to trick other serves into trusting your request to view.

But they all have a core grid of high spec serves. You probably can pickup on this as your computer/ phone internet speeds remains efficient.

Also, the location of a VPN provider can indicate their target demographic. Check the host map and maybe notice the UK has dozens of hosts IP address to use. But India only a handful of one operations.

Overall the VPN services availability to civilians is noting in comparison to big banks or intelligence organizations.

So… you planning to open a VPN server ?

vpn providers have at least one server in each city they list

big vpn providers have several or hundreds of servers

the servers might be real or virtual machines, located in a datacentre somewhere in each city
