Using [residential proxies](https://froxy.com/en/residential-proxies) is entirely legal. However, it is worth considering that not all sites contain information that is legal to distribute, in which case the use of proxies may be limited. If you have questions on this topic, we recommend consulting with a relevant specialist (for example, a lawyer).

 If you still have any questions about the operation of our service [froxy.com](https://froxy.com/en), you can ask them in the online chat in the lower right corner of the site or contact support at [support@froxy.com](mailto:support@froxy.com).
