# Can payment or risk teams use proxies to test regional rules?

Yes, but only for owned-system testing. [Datacenter Proxies](https://www.thordata.com/products/datacenter-proxies) fit low-cost QA, while [Residential Proxies](https://www.thordata.com/products/residential-proxies) better simulate real users; avoid violating the [AUP](https://www.thordata.com/acceptable-use-policy).
