Security & Compliance
NetNut provides the fastest residential proxies in the market to businesses. Our Residential proxy network has over 5M proxies and growing on a weekly basis. NetNut gets its IPs directly from ISPs and does not depend on an end-user or P2P networks, and offers particular advantages over others such as: • Faster proxy speed and one-hop connectivity • 24/7 IP availability • No dependency on exit nodes connectivity • Premium Static IPs • Virtually zero fail rate • Access to all the web including search engines • Much cheaper $/GB rates • Dedicated proxy pools • US city-state selection Residential proxies offer IP addresses that are connected to real residential addresses, making them impossible to ban. This allows businesses to effectively hide their real IP, work around Geo-blocked content or scrape, and harvest data from across the web. NetNut has an exceptional way of offering residential IP to companies and gets its strength by direct connectivity to ISPs from all over the world. NetNut is proud to stand among top proxy providers regarding use cases such as Web Scraping/Data Aggregation, Market Research & SEO Tracking, with outstanding success rate, IP uniqueness, scalability, and flexible pricing plans.
