App Testing: the complete guide
Proxies are the core infrastructure behind any proxy workflow. Without them, a single IP address accumulates request history across all activity — triggering rate limits, CAPTCHAs, and outright bans that break pipelines and cost time.
Residential proxies route requests through IP addresses assigned to real home internet connections by ISPs. To any target server, the traffic looks like a regular user browsing from a real location — not a data center or bot.
RaxyProxy provides access to over 150 million residential IPs across 210+ countries. Requests rotate automatically on every connection, or stick to a single IP for session-dependent workflows. Country, state, city, and carrier-level geo-targeting is included at no extra cost.
Choosing the right proxy type
Mobile Proxies are the recommended choice for this use case. Mobile apps often gate features by country, carrier, and network type. Testing through real 4G/5G mobile proxies replicates production conditions exactly — revealing geo-dependent bugs that in-house lab environments or datacenters can never surface. Residential proxies complement mobile testing for desktop and web app scenarios.
All traffic is billed per GB with no subscription commitment. Start with a small trial to verify integration, then scale to the volume your workflow requires.
Proxy type comparison
| Type | Best for | Detection resistance |
|---|---|---|
| Residential Proxies | Scraping, monitoring, data pipelines | Highest |
| Mobile Proxies | Social media, mobile-native platforms | Highest (carrier ASN) |
| Datacenter Proxies | Speed-critical, low-detection targets | Low |
| Premium Residential Proxies | High-value monitoring, brand protection | Highest + uptime SLA |
