B

Backconnect proxy

type

An entry-point proxy that automatically routes your traffic through a rotating pool of IP addresses. The standard for residential: you connect to gate.provider.com:7777 and traffic exits from many different IPs.

Bandwidth

billing

The volume of data transferred through a proxy. Measured in GB. Most residential providers bill per gigabyte ($1-10/GB); mobile dedicated ports usually bill per port without a bandwidth cap.

Bot score

fraud score protection

A numeric anti-bot rating — how bot-like a request looks (0-100, higher = more suspicious). Services such as IPQS expose a bot score for any given IP.
