How do I set up my residential rotating proxy?
There are two ways to use our residential proxy network: with or without Proxy Pilot. When you first log in to your proxy dashboard, you can get started right away with either option.
Without Proxy Pilot
Pros:
- Can get started in seconds by using the residential proxy gateway just like you would use any other proxy
- No additional code changes needed to your software
Cons:
- Success is not guaranteed
- Unoptimized software configurations in your software (headers, for example) may lead to unsuccessful results
With Proxy Pilot
Read more about what Proxy Pilot is here (business overview) and a technical overview here.
Pros:
- Proxy Pilot will give you guaranteed, successful, responses to your software for every request sent in by doing retries on the target site on your behalf
- Proxy Pilot will adjust the headers in your requests that will lead to the greatest chance for successful page loads
Cons:
- Requires adding a couple of lines of code to your software.
Are your proxies ethically sourced?
Yes! Unlike some of our competitors who leave their sourcing methods vague and unclear, we are open and honest... as it should be.
We primarily source from our partner product cashraven.io. We also source from other vendors who meet our standard of ethics which requires them to compensate end users for the bandwidth sold.
With CashRaven, we create a mutually agreeable contract with end-users, or developers, that provides clear and consistent messaging on "what" end users are really signing up for. We intend to hide nothing!

What websites and use cases do you allow on your network?
We currently work most closely with data scraping companies that wish to aggregate publicly available data at scale using our residential proxy network. However, if you feel that your use case is legal and ethical, please contact support@rayobyte.com and we would be happy to assess whether or not your use case would be allowed in our network.
How can I sign up?
We believe in a healthy ecosystem where customers (you) and end-user nodes (the residential IP) share in the benefit of this solution. Therefore, we require every customer to go through our vetting process to ensure they are a right fit for our ethical network.

Do you allow geo-targeting for certain cities/regions/states/countries?
We do offer city, state, and country level targetting and you may check the following support articles to know more about this.
How large is your proxy pool?
Our proxy pool fluctuates in size every day. For all small to medium-sized customers, our pool is plenty large enough to solve your needs (over 100,000 IPs). For Enterprise customers looking to do very large volumes, please reach out to us and we can discuss your needs in more detail.
Can I resell your residential rotating proxies?
We are considering resellers on a case-by-case basis, given our commitment to an ethical ecosystem. It is our utmost priority to ensure any customer that uses our network abides by the same vetting process we do for our customers. Please reach out if you believe you would be a candidate to resell our services, abiding by all of our vetting procedures listed here: https://rayobyte.com/products/rotating-residential-ips/ethics/
