Residential proxies route traffic through real household IPs, making automated abuse appear indistinguishable from legitimate users. This makes it easy for attackers to bypass geo restrictions, slip past rate limits, and evade traditional IP reputation systems.
This white paper offers a practical, technical breakdown of residential proxy risks — along with a clear, step-by-step framework for securing your environment against obscured traffic. You’ll learn how to:
Identify residential proxy traffic — Spot ASN and ISP clues, rotation patterns, mismatched telemetry, and behavioral signals that reveal disguised automation.
Understand the risks — See how threat actors use residential proxies for ATO, account farming, scalping, scraping, and other forms of fraud and abuse.
Apply practical defenses — Implement a six-step methodology for policy design, layered controls, high-fidelity IP intelligence, and analyst playbooks.
