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.
