is it all through hacking random humans computers making them IP slaves? or is it somthing else. would love to know.
 
Either no one wants to tell me, or my question is so out of the ballpark that there is no answer.
 
No one wants to tell you because that's how we make money :p.

There are botnet ones out there(if I had to guess, Rsocks and other russian based ones). But there are more legitimate networks out there that have other means of getting many, many IP addresses.
 
They release free vpn with 10 servers, advertise it over the internet, get a lot of vpn users, vpn client has hidden feature to make residential proxy out of pc. As simple as that. I also think that most sellers are just resellers of bigger providers.

Awesome. Ive been making bots in python for a while now to automate pretty much my life, its heaven.

I had assumed some sort of botting was involved, and that most residentual IPs are gained by putting viruses on ppls computers. Could you give me a hint as to if that is correct at all?

Oh thats good, this i like.
 
There are many options but these are the ones which are most profitable:

1.You provide free vpn via app or a company and get their Residential Ip in return.
2.You make a botnet and spread it massively which is illegal but the most profitable one.

Crime is money.

Im not to concerned with selling RIPs, just aquiring them for further botting. So maybe ill try the first option.
 
Some companies offer money for people to download their peer software and "share" their internet connection.
 
one way is by making a free vpn which in return get their ip., the other one is making pirated software injecting malware which connects the system as Residential ip and is in control of person who distributed the malware by software.
 
There is definitely truth to all above answers and are not false. These techniques are indeed used to trick users and gain their internet access to create proxy IPs without their consent.

But there are reputed companies out there who provide (Software + Hardware) solutions to those users who are willing to use their internet and create residential proxy (using broadband)/mobile proxy (using cellular network) and sell it to earn money from general population.

It is a win-win situation to everyone involved. Companies earn by selling hardware and software, users earn money by selling proxies, and general population gets proxies at better prices.
 
Some are free app like VPN, such as hola, betternet vpn
User want to use it free!

some are exchange, like,

The above are generally more formal and transparent, but there are some real trojans, such as the previously shut down rsocks and 911 proxy
