Show HN: Check if your IP has appeared in a residential proxy network

In my testing, Synthient's tool[0] and offerings have performed very well for this kind of service. Synthient have also had some impressive proven success against malicious botnets[1].

Seems it only detects ipv4. Any plan to support scanning ipv6 /56 range?

I am on mobile network and it fails to consider this as a factor that other people who might receive this IP could be having a proxy.

If the IP address you're using has been detected as a residential proxy, it doesn't matter. It's going to be flagged on lists for a long time.

Being able to check is helpful.

Flagged and then... What exactly?

If people who have a smart TV have their smart TV participate in a residential proxy, then it's billions of IP getting "flagged".

What's the use of flagging those?

When every IP is flagged, none is.

It says I was observed on a couple areas, but not sure what to do with that information. It would be great if thi tool provided links to guides to discover more.

Which proxy network(s) did you get tagged in?

Needs an API to query other IPs beyond one's own.

Try https://spur.us/context/<ip> where <ip> is the IP you want to query :)

Thanks! Do you plan on a paid plan? Would you be able to provide methodology under NDA if needed?
