what is my IP if you google that it tells you. whats the problem? bought from someone who said it was residential , but is datacenter?

Rules of thumb, residential proxies are linked to an ISP ( internet provider such as Verizon or Vodafone).

Check ipinfo.io or any other API to see the details of your proxies.

mate, you can literally google your IP and multiple places will tell you that. but also what above said - any phone provider will be residential and can google a list of that too,

Residential IPs generally have an ISP associated (for example AT&T), that's one way to know. You can try checklng in https://whatismyipaddress.com/

Check the IP on ARIN: https://www.arin.net/ or on maxmind: https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip2-precision-demo

These two websites will return the ISP (Internet Service Provider) of that IP.

Then, you check the ISP on google and if they are a commercial Internet service for the general population (Like AT&T, Comcast, Vodafone, etc) the proxy is residential.

But if the ISP is from a datacenter/infrastructure provider (Digital Oceas, AWS, Cogent), then the IP is datacenter.

In other words, you need to identify who is the ISP offering that IP.
