# When and how to use residential IPs?

With scraping proxies there is different type of IPs - data center, residential
and ISP IPs. See [this article](https://www.zyte.com/blog/residential-proxies-how-are-they-different-to-data-center-proxies-how-to-manage-them/?utm_campaign=SPM-SEO&utm_medium=ORG&utm_source=Docs&utm_content=SPMResDocs&utm_primary=SPM&utm_goal=ENG) for more
information on how they differ.

Smart Proxy Manager works with data center IPs by default, but it also allow
access to residential IPs, which work better for certain sites that require
residential IPs to access them.
