When building an overseas website for SEO or platform traffic, a very important part is IP. Only servers with stable and pure IPs can be used. Overseas business will go smoothly. Especially for tiktok users, today I will introduce to you some knowledge about native residential IPs.

Residential IP is currently the most common and widely used proxy IP. It can be simply understood as a broadband IP for home use. It is also called home IP and private IP. Its principle is implemented through a relay server. The relay server can is any device that can accept network traffic and pass it to another device or website.

The idea is that it is rerouted through another device, and the IP address on that device is relayed to the destination website instead of the actual original device. This hides the IP address of the real website visitor from the website, so that the residential IP will be more secure, stable and leak-proof than other IP types.

First, let’s understand what an IP address is?

The simple understanding of IP address is that it is equivalent to the residential address of our family. On the Internet, it is the protocol IP address.

There are 2 categories of IP addresses: IPV4 and IPV6

Nowadays, the most used IPv4 is usually composed of four numbers, such as 523.89.62.896. The number of IPv4 has reached the upper limit, and the reuse rate is very high. Now many devices or software have begun to support IPv6.

For IPV6, the number of IP addresses is billions of times that of IPV4, and theoretically it can last for millions of years.

Because the number of IPV6 is sufficient and it has not been widely popularized, the quality of IP addresses of IPV6 is generally much higher than that of IPV4 IP addresses.

There are 2 types by address type: public address and private address

1、The public address is the export IP address on our Internet. All computers and mobile phones need an IP address to access the website and log in to the server.

2、The private address is the IP address of our machine. This is generally assigned to you by the router, such as 192.168.1.1

What is a residential IP?

A residential IP is a proxy IP address provided by an Internet service provider, referred to as ISP for short. It is a real IP with geographical location. Residential IPs are inherently rotating. IP addresses are not fixed. Internet service providers generally assign IP addresses dynamically, which means it will change over time and will be reacquired from the service provider after the router is restarted. A residential IP address.

Sometimes due to IP geographical issues, the IP address is assigned to an IP address that is not where your machine is located. This is mainly because the IP addresses in the world are limited, and the number of IPs in each region has an upper limit. If The area you are in is more developed, with more devices for accessing the Internet, and the IP address allocation in your area has reached the upper limit. Then the IP service provider will allocate an IP address from another area or even another country to you.

To sum up, a family's residential IP address is not fixed, but rotates with time and region. In layman's terms, it jumps around randomly. Therefore, a family's residential IP is also called a dynamic residential IP.

Static residential IP, as the name implies, means that the IP address is fixed, not dynamic. It is more suitable for enterprise users or webmaster users, but the price is relatively expensive, and it is not suitable for civilians or most websites with login and browser.

So generally speaking as long as you are using a residential IP. Whether it is dynamic or static, it is generally safe and reliable for your work and business. Even from a certain standpoint, the quality of dynamic residential IP is higher than that of static residential IP, because dynamic residential IP It is home broadband, which is more suitable for registering and logging in to browse the target website.
