Because I'm quite curious on where the IPs are from. Usually residential IPs is a fancy wording for malware infested devices from regular people.
Ohh, that makes sense haha.

Search for “mobile proxy” – those are usually cheap-ish monthly subscriptions, with unlimited traffic, and often an API to rotate the IP programmatically if you need it. No KYC, but you usually do have to sign up with an email.
yes, it's a bit more expensive because it's for different use cases. You can't use VPNs or Mullvad for anything mission critical. Just try to log in to your bank in US, it will increase your risk score on their end because VPNs by nature are very easy to detect whereas "residential proxies" much harder.
Naturally! I’m just saying there’s residential proxy providers that are a LOT cheaper than that.
