Residential Proxy for Gaming

[Lawlerskates]

This might be a stretch or off-topic but I've usually had luck and received and given back to this community quite a bit in the past so I'm going to give it a shot. Most people here use proxies for money-making purposes, but I'm looking for a proxy for a different purpose. I'm looking for a residential proxy for games in the event of IP bans. A lot of modern games use IP checking services to see if the IP is potentially a VPN, and apparently the best way to get past this is using IP's that appear residential versus an IP that is known to be from a datacenter.

A lot of the services here focus on # of ports/proxies and bandwidth, but in my case I'm more concerned about speed. I'm specifically looking for a static residential IP address that is low-latency (performance oriented). Seems like there a lot of different options even just here in the marketplace. But they mostly seem oriented towards money-making purposes than what I'm looking for. I understand that in my case I'm probably looking for something that is less known or popular so that it would be less likely to be identified as a VPN by the game server, but at the very least has a reliable reputation. Thank you.

You can post in the “Want to Buy” (https://www.blackhatworld.com/forums/want-to-buy.92/) section if you have customized requirements like customized protocol requirements, speed, locations and payment methods etc. and you will be reached out accordingly.

Thank you, will do

I'm in Washington USA and the game I had in mind was DayZ. Many community servers use IP-Quality check tools to see if users are connecting with a suspected proxy, so I can't just use any proxy unfortunately. Once players find a proxy they like, they tend to not share them because they don't want other people ruining it for them.

The link in your signature "Okayvpn" looks pretty interesting,

For gaming i found data center proxies works better.

As for the game it depends what works or what not.

Usually Socks5 protocol for gaming software.

Thanks. The game that I'm trying to play is very picky about IP's that have been previously used on VPN's, so any datacenters are a no-go.

I purchased a socks5 proxy, but I noticed that I'm not able to send or receive UDP traffic through it. A google search leads me to believe that most proxies don't have UDP available even though Socks5 technically supports it. I can't really find any residential socks5 IP proxy that explicitly state it supports UDP.

Absolutely, using residential proxies for gaming is a valid use case, especially in scenarios where you need to overcome IP bans or restrictions.

Like you mentioned, you're primarily interested in static (dedicated) residential proxies for their low latency and stable connections, which are vital for gaming. Here are a few providers you might consider:

• BrightData (formerly Luminati): They offer static residential proxies that should work well for gaming. They are a reliable and well-known provider, though their services might be on the pricier side.
• Soax.io:They have a residential proxy network that includes static IPs. They're not as big as BrightData, which might help your proxies appear more residential and less like a VPN.

In addition to these options, I'd recommend reaching out to the providers directly and explaining your specific needs. They may be able to offer a custom solution or guide you to the best package for your gaming needs. And of course, be sure to test the latency of the proxies during any trial periods to ensure they're fast enough for your games.

Remember, using proxies for gaming may be against the terms of service for some games, so proceed with caution.

Oxylabs is bloody expensive! I used it to watch YT and I onlt bought 1 GM plan to test. I was billed of 0.15% of the 1 GB after just less than 10 minutes of use!!! 1 GB costs me $15. So do the math. I'm not sure what I did wrong if any.
