A shared proxy employs an IP address that is used by several users and originates from a datacenter rather than a physical device. In contrast, IPs from physical devices are implemented by residential proxies. 

At Oxylabs, the 22K Shared Proxy pool offers unlimited concurrent sessions and automatic proxy rotation. What’s more, compared to dedicated proxies, it’s a more cost-effective solution but doesn’t sacrifice core datacenter proxy features.

Datacenter proxies are not affiliated with Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and come from remote (cloud) servers. They are great for when you need a stable connection and high speed or if you need to mask your IP address for certain reasons.

Datacenter proxies come from secondary companies, usually the cloud provider, and offer private IP authentication and anonymity. Many users can access the same datacenter proxies and use them simultaneously.

Datacenter proxy IP addresses are tracked to the corporation to which the datacenter belongs. Residential proxies hide your IP address that belongs to Internet Service Provider (ISP) and makes it hard to block, as it acts as an actual user online.
