The Blind Spot In Your Privacy Detection
Residential proxies route traffic through real ISP-assigned IPs, bypassing standard VPN and proxy detection entirely. This is a separate dataset purpose-built to catch them.
Comprehensive, Detailed Data
Identify one of the most evasive forms of anonymized IP address with IPinfo’s residential proxy detection. Used to mask large-scale attacks and account takeovers, residential proxies mimic real users and evade traditional detection. We surface clear signals on whether an IP is associated with a residential proxy provider.

How People Use Residential Proxy Detection Data
Residential proxy detection powers everything from fraud prevention to traffic quality analysis. By identifying IPs routed through residential proxy networks, teams can make faster, more informed decisions about risk, user trust, and traffic integrity. Here’s how top companies put IPinfo’s residential proxy detection data to work:
Fraud Prevention
Flag suspicious transactions by detecting traffic masked through residential proxies, improving fraud models without adding friction for trusted users.
Traffic Quality Verification
Ensure accurate campaign analytics by filtering out proxy-based traffic, improving the integrity of advertising and engagement data.
Threat Intelligence
Strengthen incident response by uncovering proxy-based infrastructure often used to conceal malicious activity.

Our customers are trying to understand when accounts are performing suspicious activities. They need to determine if the user identity is who they’re claiming to be. IP address data is a really good indication of that.
We love to integrate with the IPinfo API because it provides us with a highly reliable and accurate stream of data.
Because our whole system is built around those principles of identification and attribution, we can’t use public information via RIR or other providers. Developing this caliber of data takes a lot of thought and intentional improvement. It’s really quite difficult. There’s a lot of value in having IP data delivered as a service.
