Today we're rolling out IPv6 residential proxies across the network. For the right targets they offer a dramatically larger address space at a lower cost per IP than IPv4 — and adoption among large platforms keeps climbing.

-   High-volume workloads where IPv4 scarcity has pushed prices up.
-   Anyone who wants more unique IPs per dollar and doesn't need IPv4-only destinations.
