Good practical guide on the scraping side. Flip side for anyone building bot/fraud defenses: if your stack still keys off “datacenter ASN,” you’re aiming at a small slice of proxy supply—most exits we see land on residential or mobile networks.
IP99 (ThreatHunter) tracks those proxy-class exits with time-boxed risk scores. Treating “residential” as automatically safe is how shared egress slips through.
Hi! Thanks for adding the defensive perspective. Agreed: a residential or mobile ASN should never be treated as an automatic trust signal.
Because residential exits can be shared, rotated, or reassigned, defenders should combine fresh IP-risk data with request velocity, session consistency, account and device signals, behavioral patterns, and challenge outcomes. ASN classification alone is not enough for either blocking or trusting traffic.
The guide focuses on compliant web data collection, but this distinction is important for both proxy users and security teams.
