How Our Residential Proxy Detection Works

IPinfo's residential proxy dataset is built using a proactive and direct verification process that ensures unmatched accuracy and reliability. We identify IPs currently active as residential proxies by directly connecting to residential proxy services and analyzing their networks.

Step 1

Data Collection

We join residential proxy networks, accessing and scanning IPs to verify their association with active residential proxies. This hands-on approach ensures that only real, up-to-date data is included in our dataset.

Active Verification: We confirm which IPs are being used by connecting directly to residential proxy providers.

Comprehensive Coverage: We monitor over 80 residential proxy providers, continually expanding our reach to capture the most extensive data possible.

Step 2

Analysis and Validation

To maintain accuracy, each IP is analyzed for patterns, including its frequency of activity and its association with proxy networks.

Stability Insights: Metrics like percent_days_seen show how frequently an IP is detected as part of a proxy network over the last 90 days, helping businesses assess risk levels.

Real-Time Updates: The dataset is refreshed daily to account for the dynamic nature of residential proxies, ensuring clients receive the most current information.

Step 3

Data Delivery

Once validated, the data is delivered in formats compatible with enterprise workflows, ensuring seamless integration.

Available in JSON, CSV, and MMDB formats

Cloud deployment options via Snowflake, GCP BigQuery, Splunk and other platforms

The Benchmark for IP Data Accuracy

Our Probe Network is critical to ensuring the accuracy and reliability of IP data. Continuous data collection and verification through this unique approach supports our commitment to delivering the most precise IP intelligence.

Use Cases For Residential Proxy Database

Fraud Prevention

Fraudsters increasingly rely on residential proxies to evade detection, mimic legitimate user behavior, and bypass security controls. Whether it's account takeovers, fake registrations, or high-value purchase fraud, these activities exploit the trust associated with residential IPs. IPinfo's residential proxy dataset helps businesses and cybersecurity companies identify proxy-driven activity, flag suspicious behavior, and take action before fraud escalates. For example, an ecommerce platform can detect residential proxy usage during a transaction and trigger additional verification to prevent fraud without disrupting legitimate customers.

Bot Mitigation

Malicious bots often use residential proxies to conduct unauthorized activities, such as inflating ad metrics, scraping sensitive content, or manipulating platform data. These proxies enable bots to appear as genuine users, making them difficult to detect. With IPinfo's dataset, businesses can identify and filter proxy-driven traffic, ensuring clean, accurate metrics and improved platform performance. Adtech platforms, for instance, use residential proxy detection to protect campaign data from click fraud and maintain reliable engagement metrics.

Data Protection

Malicious bots use residential proxies for data scraping. By bypassing rate limits and appearing as residential traffic, scrapers can extract sensitive or proprietary business information, posing significant competitive risks. IPinfo's residential proxy dataset enables businesses to identify scraping attempts and block access in real time. SaaS providers, for example, can safeguard pricing data, product details, and customer insights by detecting and stopping proxy-based scraping activities.

InfoSec Threat Detection

Cybercriminals use residential proxies to conceal the origin of targeted attacks, making it harder for security teams to identify and mitigate threats. IPinfo's dataset adds an extra layer of intelligence, helping businesses, governments, and security organizations uncover hidden malicious activity masked behind residential IPs. By detecting unusual patterns, security teams can proactively prevent potential breaches and maintain the integrity of their systems.

Cleaner Analytics and Logs

Residential proxy traffic can distort analytics, introducing noise that compromises decision-making. By filtering proxy-driven activity, businesses can maintain cleaner logs and generate accurate insights. Data analysts, for instance, can exclude proxy-related anomalies to ensure reports reflect genuine user behavior, improving the quality of their analysis and strategic decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is residential proxy data?

Residential proxy data identifies IP addresses used as proxies through real residential devices like home computers or smartphones. These IPs appear as legitimate residential traffic, making them harder to detect without specialized tools.

How are residential IPs sourced and maintained?

We actively connect to residential proxy networks to verify IPs currently in use. By scanning over 80 providers daily, we ensure our dataset remains accurate, up-to-date, and comprehensive.

Is a residential proxy the same as a VPN?

No. VPNs use static data center IPs, which are easier to detect. Residential proxies use real household IPs, making them appear more legitimate and challenging to identify without advanced detection methods.

How often is the dataset updated?

The residential proxy dataset is refreshed daily to capture the latest proxy activity, ensuring businesses have access to current and actionable data.

Can I filter residential proxy data by specific criteria?

Yes. Our dataset includes detailed fields such as proxy service name and activity frequency, allowing businesses to filter and prioritize data according to their specific needs, such as risk scoring.

How do residential proxies impact fraud and security?

Residential proxies enable fraudsters to bypass detection systems, conduct account takeovers, and scrape data undetected. IPinfo’s dataset helps businesses identify and flag these activities to strengthen fraud prevention and security measures.

What industries benefit most from the residential proxy dataset?

The dataset is ideal for industries like ecommerce, adtech, cybersecurity, SaaS platforms, and financial services. It helps these businesses detect fraud, block unauthorized scraping, and improve overall risk management.
