Shared Residential IP

Hello everyone,

I have tried many proxy providers that claimed to provide geo-specific, real residential proxy, but all of them are basically scam, either that the IP they provided are abused to death already or that the IP is in an area that is not even close to the target/intended area.

I have been researching on this, I want to find a website/app, where it will allow you to connect to people in certain area and use their bandwidth/IP to perform certain tasks such as account farming. So far, I can't find any that provide what I need.

Just wondering if any of you know anything about this and can make a recommendation.

~Cheers

Can you share some of the ones you tried, that could potentially be helpful to others. I'm looking at proxies myself. I posted about trying to compare, there are many offerings. But hard to trust anyone's specific reviews as well I understand. In general I think the proxies themselves are rarely the issue, it's just the behavior of the usage that can cause issues.

Based on my experience, proxy has everything to do with how well you do, in my case, account creations. Some platforms are harsher than the others, it just happens that the platform that I am using these for is one of the toughest.

I have tried many, to name a few, iproyal, ipburger, brightdata (or something like that), their so call residential proxy are not much better than data center proxy.

If you are talking about ISP proxies, they aren't really residential proxies, they are similar to data center proxies but routes through an ISP. This definitely makes them more trusted but if they have been shared and abused that is more of the issue, not the type of proxy

Very true, many of the IPs you’ll be getting from proxy providers tend to be already flagged by prior usage. Which platform are you generating accounts on? Reddit?

Many residential proxies on the market have been overused for account creation. It is normal that account creation fails. You need to remove the currently used proxies and then compare.

Most reliable is to setup your own

You're not alone, a lot of so-called “geo-targeted residential proxies” are either recycled, already burned, or totally inaccurate in terms of IP location. That’s exactly why high-quality mobile proxies have become the go-to solution: they use real 4G/5G carrier connections, rotate naturally, and have accurate geo-location with clean network signatures. Perfect for farming, scaling, or sensitive automation.
What you're describing, connecting to real devices in specific areas and using their bandwidth/IP sounds like a geo-targeted peer-to-peer proxy network. These exist in theory, but in practice they’re unstable, limited in scope, and often not suited for long-term use or farming at scale.
If you're serious about getting clean access with precision and reliability, your best bet is a professionally managed mobile proxy setup. Avoid random “residential IPs” from budget platforms, most are already flagged or fake-resi with poor geo accuracy.
