IPinfo - IP Data Provider

Consensus once reduced friction across AdTech. Today, performance pressure is exposing the limits of agreement without validation. As IP context becomes more foundational, platforms are shifting from vendor alignment to independently validated data.

Proxy traffic powers corporate VPNs and privacy relays. Context determines intent. So “proxy detected” shouldn’t automatically mean “block.”

This myth explores why interpretation matters 👇

Fast APIs. Practical pricing. Clear documentation.

When IP data needs to be both powerful and usable, speed and clarity matter just as much as depth.

8/ Want guaranteed accuracy for your prefixes?

Help improve IP geolocation accuracy and host a ProbeNet PoP →

7/ ProbeNet is dedicated infrastructure.

Global expansion.
Vendor relationships.
Operational maintenance.
Strategic ASN selection.

Each new PoP increases our ability to verify how the internet behaves in practice.

6/ Why this effort matters:
RTT-based geolocation depends on topological proximity.

A PoP hosted inside a regional ISP network provides precision that broad cloud regions cannot.

Network diversity improves measurement depth.

5/ The work doesn’t stop after deployment.
→ Routing changes.
→ Providers evolve.
→ Infrastructure shifts.

Every PoP requires continuous monitoring and relationship management.

4/ Adding a PoP in London is straightforward.
Adding one in Monrovia, Suva, or Windhoek is different.

It can mean weeks of outreach, manual contracts, limited payment methods, and unfamiliar procurement processes.

3/ Our goal isn’t simply to add PoPs. It’s to expand into new ASNs.

We operate 1,300+ PoPs across 152 countries and 520+ distinct ASNs.

ASN diversity strengthens measurement accuracy.

2/ You can launch infrastructure in major cloud regions in minutes, but active measurement requires something more deliberate.

ProbeNet’s first university PoP is live 🎓

A new PoP at the Technical University of Munich brings academic network diversity into our #internetmeasurement footprint.

In #AdTech, inaccurate geolocation shows up as:
🚨 Misallocated spend
🚨 IVT in the auction
🚨 Compliance risk

Many datasets rely on consensus signals w/o verification. But we measure the internet across a global network of PoPs to deliver auditable geolocation.

Geolocation accuracy shows its value when it’s tested, especially when other providers get it wrong.

The Residential Proxy Problem: Shared Infrastructure and Rapid Rotation We analyzed 170+ million residential proxy IPs and discovered two patterns that explain why fraud detection is so hard.

For you or your team, when residential proxy signals conflict, what tends to influence the final decision?

We break this down in even more detail here → ipinfo.io/blog/residen...

So what actually works instead?

When infrastructure is shared and rotation is fast, context matters more than history.

Signals like last_seen and percent_days_seen provide far more value than reputation scores alone.

These things break reputation-based detection.

Residential proxy IPs constantly rotate between three states:

• Acting as a proxy
• Going dormant
• Returning to normal residential use

The same IP can look abusive one moment and legitimate shortly after.

2. Rapid IP rotation

Most residential proxy IPs don’t stick around long enough to build reputation.

A majority are seen only once in a 90-day window, especially in IPv6 environments where churn is extreme.

1. Shared infrastructure

Some residential proxy IPs appear in many provider networks at once.

Fraudsters don’t need new infrastructure.
→ They simply switch which provider they access it through.

This is why provider-based blocking alone cannot keep up.

Are you blocking residential proxies but still seeing abuse?

It’s not a coverage issue.
It’s this 🧵👇
