A residential VPN can be described as a tool that allows your internet traffic to be routed through genuine residential IPs provided to ISPs, instead of data center servers. This way, your connection will be identified as that of an ordinary home user, which can enable you to get around geo-restrictions and stay undetected. The way it operates is by encrypting the data and then sending it through a residential proxy network before the site is reached. In this way, the site will see the IP of a genuine user, which makes one more anonymous, makes it less likely to be blocked, and gives greater chances of accessing restricted or geo-blocked content than using regular VPNs.
