Proxy Guide

Before we explain what the best sneaker proxies are, you should first understand how your IP address fits into all of this. This will help you know exactly why you need them and how they help!

First, what’s an IP address?

Every device – computer, phone, or tablet – has a numerical label called an IP address. An IP address allows networks to identify your device. Think of the IP address as the identity of the device. Every device connected to the web has a unique IP address. Your phone, your laptop, and even your WIFI router each have its own IP address.

Here’s what happens when you visit a sneaker retailer’s website:

• Your device’s IP address sends a request to the IP address of your router.

• Your router sends a request to the site and asks for permission to access it.

• The site checks your router’s IP address, and if nothing’s suspicious, you get to access the site.

Every time you take an action, you’re sending a request to the site. The site responds back by allowing you to move forward. In other words, when you add an item to cart or submit any billing info, you’re sending a request. The site then decides to give you permission to checkout.

A Proxy is a IP address you can use to hide yourself and make yourself anonymous. It is essential when using Sneaker bots. There are three main types: - Residential Proxies - ISP Proxies - Datacenter Proxies

Residential Proxies

A Residential proxy is a real person, out there in the world's IP address. You can gain access to massive pools of real IP addresses, spread out all over the world. The downside to these proxies is that they are often not the quickest, but the upside is that they are super hard for a website to detect that you are a bot when using these, so they are super reliable. You tend to pay for usage like you would with a phone contract, rather than paying per ip address. You can purchase Residential Proxies here using Paragn's discount code - PARAGNRESI

DC & ISP Proxies

DC & ISP Proxies are quite similar in the sense they are "not real" IP's but actually thousands of machines in warehouses, giving up use of their IP address. The difference between ISP and DC is that ISP mask their IP with residential characteristics, whereas DC have no way of hiding this, DC are quicker, but can get banned quite easily. ISP are a bit slower than DC but do not get banned as easily. So it is a toss up between what is most important to you. I reccomend using a mixture but mainly ISP to be honest.
