About Residential Proxy Detection

What are Residential Proxies?

Residential proxies route internet traffic through real residential IP addresses, making them appear as legitimate home connections while masking the true origin of requests. These proxies are often sourced unethically through malicious SDK's embedded in popular phone apps or browser extensions, turning your network into an unwilling participant in a global proxy pool.

What if my IP has been detected to be a residential proxy?

If your IP has been detected as a residential proxy it means a device on your network is running an application that allows residential proxy networks to route traffic through your network. Online services may restrict or limit access from proxy networks to prevent abuse, fraud, or unauthorized access.
