Is my network a residential proxy?
We'll check your IP against the world's most up-to-date residential proxy database — 70M+ live proxy IPs built from 500M+ daily signals. If your connection is part of a pool, you'll see exactly which networks are using it and when it was last observed.
What are residential proxies?
Residential proxies route internet traffic through real home IP addresses, making requests appear to come from legitimate household connections while masking their true origin. To websites, the traffic is indistinguishable from a real person browsing from home.
How do home IPs get enrolled?
Proxy networks recruit devices through free VPNs, "earn money from your bandwidth" apps, browser extensions, and SDKs embedded in popular mobile apps. Once installed, the software quietly resells access to your connection — most people never know their network is in a pool.
Why it matters
Strangers' traffic exits the internet from your address, and online services know it. Enrolled IPs face more captchas, blocked logins, and throttled access as retailers, banks, and platforms restrict proxy networks to prevent fraud and abuse.
