Haha unfortunately we use residential proxies under the hood to simulate real users (as you'd expect from AI agents), where bandwidth is significantly more expensive!

How does a residential proxy work? Do people rent out their internet connections to commercial services?

    Computers getting infected with malware, pre-compromised cheap internet devices from Amazon/Wish.com, and game developers monetizing "free" games by running proxies in the background.

    There are usually a few layers of resellers so technically the proxy provider can throw their hands up in the air and say they are unaware of any malicious activity.
