IPRoyal has been providing IP networking and brokering services for years, and customers around the world use its services for internet security, anonymity, and bargain hunting.

Right now, PCMag readers can get 30% off its Royal Residential Proxy Service by using promo code PCMAG30 at checkout.

If you’ve never used a residential proxy service, they "are like cousins to VPNs," PCMag's Max Eddy explains. "Like a VPN, a proxy reroutes your web traffic to make it appear as if it is coming from somewhere else, hiding your real IP address in the process."

IPRoyal uses IP addresses from a pool of residential customers, and allows you to switch proxies instantly through its dashboard. You can rotate your IP address as often as every minute if you choose, or opt to keep the same residential proxy address for up to 24 hours. Users have access to the entire proxy pool, and locations can be targeted to a preferred state or city.
