IPinfo Expands Privacy Detection Capabilities with Advanced Residential Proxy Coverage
Residential proxy networks have become a critical vector for fraud, account takeovers, and large-scale abuse. Unlike VPNs or datacenter proxies, residential proxies route traffic through real, residential IPs, masking the true origin of requests — often without the residential IP owner's knowledge due to malware or deceptive installations. Their residential nature allows them to bypass traditional IP-based detection and blend into legitimate traffic patterns.
'Residential Proxy Detection is a direct response to the operational needs of security and anti-fraud teams, especially those at the enterprise level who face increasingly complex and high-volume abuse scenarios,' said Ben Dowling, CEO of IPinfo. 'Residential proxies are a preferred tactic of sophisticated attackers. The data we provide gives companies deeper insight into cloaked threats and the IP infrastructure behind them.'
As these proxies become increasingly prevalent in large-scale abuse scenarios, the ability to accurately detect them has become a critical element of any modern defense strategy against malicious behavior. IPinfo's residential proxy data is designed for enterprise fraud, risk, and security teams to strengthen:
Fraud detection: Spotting cloaked transactions and synthetic identities that rotate through residential proxies to simulate legitimate users
Threat intelligence: Enriching security event data with proxy metadata to support SOC investigations
Risk scoring: Providing a weighted input in authentication and authorization models
Abuse mitigation: For reviewing manipulation and credential stuffing attacks that exploit residential proxies
IPinfo's Residential Proxy Detection is available as a standalone product, and also adds a crucial layer to IPinfo's existing Privacy Detection data, which already identifies VPNs, relays, hosting providers, and Tors. Each IP is enriched with residential proxy provider name, last-seen timestamp, a persistence score, and a mobile flag, giving security teams the context they need to gauge risk.
Key benefits of IPinfo's Residential Proxy Detection include:
Pinpoint residential proxy sources: Each record names the proxy provider, enabling teams to block abusive networks or weight fraud-risk scores.
Assess risk in context: Last seen and percent days seen fields show how fresh and persistent an IP is, so teams can tune block / step-up rules.
Catch change fast: The dataset is verified daily, lowering false positives and surfacing newly rotated addresses sooner.
Close the mobile blind spot: IPs that exit through carrier gateways are tagged with a mobile suffix, improving detection of short-lived fraud and scraping attacks.
Integrate quickly: API, file downloads, and Snowflake options plug into real-time or batch workflows with minimal engineering effort.
