## FAQ
What is a residential proxy?
A residential proxy routes your request through a real home internet connection, making it appear as a regular user. Unlike datacenter proxies, residential IPs are harder to detect and block.
Why are Japanese residential IPs expensive?
Japan has strict privacy laws and limited proxy infrastructure. Most global providers charge premium rates for Japan IPs. JProx focuses exclusively on Japan, allowing us to offer competitive pricing.
What websites can I access?
Any Japanese website including Mercari, SUUMO, Rakuten, Yahoo Japan, job sites (Indeed, Mynavi, Rikunabi), real estate portals, and more. If a site requires a Japanese IP, JProx can access it.
Is web scraping legal in Japan?
Web scraping publicly available data is generally legal. However, always respect robots.txt, terms of service, and avoid overloading target servers. JProx is a tool - how you use it is your responsibility.
