VPN service that provides IP's that look like a residential ISP?

No backup?
(Anyway, 50$ per month is pretty expensive IMO and i'm not in need of that kind of service.)
Residential networks that are professionally contracted don't come cheap or every vpn provider would have them. Only data center connections come cheap.
thanks for spamming my email inbox with notifications guys - much appreciated.
So you're trying to tell me that you can give 1GB/s VPN in Cambodia which looks a bit impossible for me? Or I have misunderstood something?
I don't really understand it, but I'm curious as to why @William is so upset about VPN services with no infrastructure instantiated in the 'residential networks' they represent.
Maybe he can make a new, hopefully more relaxed thread about his concerns when the ban expires?
That site isn't very accurate. I saw a level3 IP address classified as "Residential." It does show up as Telecom Italia though, which is good for websites that try to "proxy detect" using whitelist / blacklist for organizations.
For the moment, please do not pay much attention to my website. I put up a 2 month old backup on the new ddos-resistant network and I have yet to update it yet. Its something I'm working on in the next few hours.
Whilst it may not take any effort at all to single out someone who had already provided their full name, address, and affiliations...
Apologies for the delay. Our site is back to normal now and all categories, both residential services and data center services are now available. I appreciate everyone's patience.
Thanks guys, I enjoyed this thread.
See you for round #2 in a week or so..
I don't see what the controversy is. @William just wanted to fight for some reason. He thought he knew all the networks we operated, and he was wrong and refused to admit it. When proven wrong, he did everything possible to avoid taking responsibility for his actions. What we do with our data center networks is no different than what OVH has been doing for at least the last 5 or 6 years. However, our residential networks are not under the same networks. Those are totally independent. So @William has nothing to really argue about. And OVH is the largest hosting provider in all of Europe. If he's on such a crusade, why doesn't he attack them as well?

Do you have test IPs available for those locations?
Sure do. Please specify what locations you want test ip's from.
Doesn't a dedicated IP that can be traced back to your name defeat the purpose of a VPN?
Seeing a member threatening another member with a ban.. and a moderator telling not to "demand" transparency... wtf. Obviously means he doesn't want to tell.
Some grown ups use "residential" VPNs on exotic locations for reasons other than "anonymity".
This would depend on your purposes, I use VPN daily on dedicated IPs, not for anonymity but for security.
A non-dedicated IP can be traced back to you anyway, don't be fooled.
An extremely small amount of people actually use a vpn for "anonymity." Most folks that buy vpn's, in my nearly 8 years of providing these services, have a very specific purpose for buying vpn's such as for watching tv from their home countries while living in another country physically, the flag collectors, poker players, gamers, etc. A very small amount of people actually buy them for anonymity.
how do you know?
8 years of talking with clients that purchase them.
Most of the VPNs are used on the enterprise, that's a fact. The "anonymity" lies are just a recent marketing strategy.
Why exclude yourself from that group?
Not with VPN providers that have had admins sent to jail, because they were unable to give out any logs.
I have never had a problem with non residential IP addresses, any example for where you really need one?
Hahaha keep dreaming.
Fraud scores while buying online, Hulu and other streaming services, etc... I use datacenter IPs and mostly is fine, but occasionally there's a problem with some service managed by not-too-bright administrators which block users from what they believe are not residential networks.
Why so arrogant? It seems you have not heard of perfect-privacy and the like, just search for their history with German law enforcement. Their servers were taken and no one was convicted, I call that privacy.
Just because the media didn't follow up and report on what the outcome was, is no reason to claim that Perfect Privacy didn't cooperate or that there was no conviction. I have yet to see any vpn administrator go to jail for a client that committed fraud on their networks.
No, it means 'be polite and ask nicely' rather than demanding the information like it's your right to know.
When you learn to read, you'll understand that I did not
It seems you have not heard of (for example) data retention laws which most datacenters in Europe need to comply with. There are plenty of ways a nation state can pinpoint users on the Internet.
