How does LimeProxies source its residential IPs

Residential capacity comes from real consumer devices, and how a provider obtains access to those devices matters — both ethically and for the stability of your work.

Consent-based participation

Residential peers join through partner applications where participation is disclosed and opted into, users are told their connection may be shared, and they can leave at any time. Peers are not recruited through bundled installers or software that hides what it is doing.

Why this matters to you

• Stability. Pools built without consent get removed as soon as the deception is discovered, and your success rate goes with them.
• Compliance. If your own customers or auditors ask where your traffic originates, you need an answer that survives scrutiny.
• Reputation. IPs from covert networks accumulate abuse reports and get blocked faster.

What we ask of you in return

The pool stays healthy only if the traffic on it is legitimate. Our acceptable use rules exist for that reason, and service restrictions covers the specifics.

If you need documentation of sourcing practices for a vendor review, open a ticket and support will route it to the right team.
