# Proxy types

> Overview of the proxy types available in the ProxyJam catalog.

Each proxy offer has a `kind` field that describes the underlying network type. Understanding the differences helps you pick the right product for your use case.

## Kinds

| Kind          | Description                                                                                                  |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `datacenter`  | Proxies hosted in data centers. Fastest and cheapest, but more easily detected by anti-bot systems.          |
| `residential` | IP addresses assigned to real home internet connections. High anonymity, bypasses most detection.            |
| `mobile`      | IP addresses from mobile carrier networks (4G/5G). Highest trust score, ideal for mobile-targeted platforms. |

## Options per kind

Pricing and duration options differ by proxy type.

### Residential options

## Protocols and IP versions

When placing an order, you can specify:

* `protocol` — `HTTP`, `HTTPS`, or `SOCKS5`
* `ip_version` — `IPv4` or `IPv6`

Not all offers support every combination. Check the catalog for what each offer supports.

## Filtering the catalog

Use query parameters on `GET /catalog` to filter by kind, country, and availability:

```bash theme={null}
GET /catalog?kind=mobile&country=US&is_available=true
```
