Residential IP, SEO and tiktok

DrSlime

Hi,

A company is trying to establish a solution for SEO and TikTok broadcasting in the UK from remote locations. They are particularly interested in residential IPs but do not know how to get them cheaply. Not some home broadband that costs £20+ with less than 50mbps up, but with at least 200M+ symmetric bandwidth. This probably needs to be VPS or Dedis, as most proxies won't work where the company is.

My first thought is to see if any provider does this; any suggestions?
Is there a way to find out which data centre might offer a residential network?
If this is somewhat limited, what's the alternative way to do so?

The company plans to start with between 20 and 200 IPs, but that will depend entirely on the cost and the ease of implementing the project.

It would be ideal to spread the IP range across the country.
Also, if this works, they will expand the service to the US and EU (Spain first).

Any suggestion is appreciated.
Best Regards,

They basically have 2 options. Go with an ISP offering business lines and get a bunch of those. Won't be cheap but it's pretty much the only legally sound option there is. Another option would be to get a bunch of SIM cards which have a cheap unmetered 4/5G plan and run the streams over those. The major drawback is that you'd probably need a physical presence in the country were those cards are bought as the cheap data plans usually won't work with roaming and the fact that basically all of those disallow business use, which is likely to become a problem as you'd be running a whole bunch of them in one place. Once the provider gets wind of what's happening it's game over. Residential, cheap and legal simply doesn't mix.

What about a small VPS with just 1 residential IP? I've been asking you for a while now. Every time your response is next week... is it next week already?

You can check out Webshare.io and all of the other main residential IP providers that are the least sketchy of the lot (Oxylabs, Bright Data)

“Next week” is basically a meme meaning “never”

That's true. I heard someone leased a /24 block from BT so I thought there might be some provider that may offer this type of service. Consider the cost both broadband and sim cards with 300GB+(3GB each hour and 3 hours a day broadcasting) traffic, this won't work.
I will probably need to look further. As this type of request is indeed abnormal in so many way.

Thanks for the offer, but we currently need UK residential IPs; your offer is amazing tho.

I can't say now as they don't know the implementation cost besides the cost of IP at the moment. One key issue with this type of proxy is that it charges by traffic.
It may cost up to 10 GB per day to have a 3-hour live on TikTok.
I have seen someone offer 12 pounds per month for a 50mbps unlimited traffic vps with residential IP. Unfortunately, they only have one subnet, so no good for us.

Thanks for sharing, webshareio looks really good for the price.

Well, personally i'm paying 30€/m for unlimited 4G and mobile data is not overly cheap where i am. Admittedly i haven't pushed 300GB/m yet but i've managed to break the 100GB mark and noone cared. If you look around you'll probably find cards around ~20€/m or even less. Like i've said the big problem is rather that you'll need a psysical presence in the country these cards are from to actually be able to get them online.

Oh I forget one key problem, that the mobile courier normally use CGNAT and I am not sure if we can run VPN server with this type of settings?

You can. Since the box is not reachable from outside you'll have to fix that by having it connect (NAT doesn't hinder outgoing connections after all) to another VPN though.
