“Just a call and a token, with a clean response in JSON.”

Always good to hear from teams that value fast integration, clean APIs, and documentation that gets out of the way so they can ship faster.

Appreciate the review, Áquila. 🙌

Residential proxy ecosystems are far more interconnected than most defenders realize.

Our research found widespread IP overlap between providers, shared backend infrastructure, and proxy rotation patterns that outpace traditional reputation systems.

Based on monitoring across 110+ providers: https://t.co/eIhpW9VyT3

Ad spend leaks into invalid traffic more often than most teams realize.

Traffic from residential proxies, VPNs, hosting infrastructure, and misrepresented IP environments can quietly blend into campaign data while looking operationally “normal.”

Estimate how much spend may be leaking:

Cybersecurity workflows depend on accurate internet measurement.

Proxy networks, VPN infrastructure, hosting providers, and abusive services are distributed across many ASNs and regions, making validation much harder at internet scale.

That’s what ProbeNet is built for.

🌉 Where in the world is IPinfo? San Francisco.

From iconic landmarks to everywhere in between, IPinfo’s coverage spans the globe, powered by ProbeNet’s network of PoPs.

If you work with IP data, you already know the internet gets weird.

That’s why we opened up ProbeNet Live:
Run real-time ping and traceroute measurements from 1,300+ PoPs across 150+ countries.

Now anyone can validate routing paths, latency, packet loss, geolocation claims, and connectivity behavior themselves instead of taking our word for it.

Residential proxy ecosystems increasingly resemble interconnected supply chains rather than standalone networks.

Infrastructure gets resold, redistributed, repackaged, and rotated across providers faster than most detection systems can adapt to.

Since this infrastructure gets recycled so aggressively across providers, IPinfo’s stability signals like last_seen and percent_days_seen become important.

After Google disrupted IPIDEA’s infrastructure, IPinfo measured how interconnected parts of the residential proxy ecosystem really were.

Our research found:
• 92.7% IP overlap with other providers
• 12 brands sharing one Tencent backend
• 44.7M IPs tied to the network

University networks are some of the most dynamic environments on the internet:

✅ High user turnover
✅ Mixed devices
✅ Constantly shifting traffic patterns

That variability is critical to how ProbeNet verifies IP data, and exactly what it’s built to measure.

By operating inside university networks, ProbeNet measures and validates data against real-world network behavior.

IPinfo on @Splunk now includes residential proxy detection.

Enrich IPs with geo, ASN, company, privacy & residential proxy signals, via API or MMDB.

From routing and IPv6 to internet measurement and network behavior, RIPE 92 brings together the teams helping operate and understand the internet at scale.

IPinfo's Oliver Gasser and Ross Lewis are there this week contributing to conversations around internet measurement, infrastructure, and the continued buildout of ProbeNet, our internet measurement platform.

@LibreQoS Thanks! More to come!

Adding new PoPs only matters if it improves how you measure.

For security teams, that means understanding how IP data behaves as infrastructure shifts, IPs rotate, and abuse evolves.

ProbeNet added 67 PoPs in Q1 to improve that visibility.

For anyone interested in digging deeper into the tiered internet access in Iran, this recent piece does a great job unpacking the broader context and implications. It also includes observations from IPinfo’s internet measurement data alongside researchers across the space.

During Iran’s internet shutdowns this year, the internet didn’t disappear equally.

Our ASN-level measurements show major consumer networks collapsing while parts of the state backbone, academic infrastructure, and select cloud provider networks continue to respond near pre-collapse levels.

The result is effectively a two-tier internet:
• Public internet access remains heavily restricted
• Certain privileged networks stay connected

Ok so I'm doing some science with some cool tools from @ipinfo

I'm just doing some testing, but this should be fun! more to follow in the future!

The IPIDEA residential proxy takedown didn’t remove the problem.

Our research found:
• 92.7% of IPIDEA-affiliated IPs overlapped across providers
• 46% of all residential proxy IPs appear in multiple networks at the same time
• 78% rotate before reputation systems can act

The same IP no longer maps to a single source and that changes how detection needs to work.
