Residential Proxy Sourcing

Proxies are added to our IP pool through partners, which allow us to scale faster.

We use partner-based sourcing to provide a better service for our customers. Before a partner can provide IPs for our network, they have to go through a screening process:

• Identity verification. An independent third party verifies a partner’s identity.
• Business model review. We ask the supplier to describe their business model, IP acquisition practices, and pool composition, all of which we verify ourselves.
• Evidence of consent. Suppliers must provide evidence that they acquire IP addresses with consent from device owners.
• Hands-on evaluation. Our team manually verifies claims and statements made, which may include application testing and document reviews.

These steps help us assess partners before onboarding, resulting in better network quality.

Finally, a supplier who does not meet the standards outlined above is not allowed to be a part of our network.

Sourcing doesn’t end when an IP joins our network. How the network is used matters just as much. We combine client vetting, technical controls, and active monitoring to keep it from being misused.

Our Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy set out which activities are prohibited. These include fraud, unauthorized account access, spam, credential stuffing, and any activity that is unethical or breaks the law. Every client must accept and comply with these rules before they use the network.

We, however, respect the privacy of our customers, so we limit the data we process for monitoring purposes. For details, see our Privacy Policy

Some websites carry enough risk that we block them by default for every anonymous sign-up, without waiting to be asked. They fall into the following categories:

• Adult sites
• Crime and stolen-data sites
• Piracy sites
• Mainstream streaming
• Government and sanctioned sites
• Gambling and betting
• Banks, payment and investment
• Crypto exchanges
• Game stores and accounts
• Ticket and resale sites
• Harmful sites
• Dark-web gateways
• Doxxing sites
• Malware downloads
• And anything of similar nature

Clients with a verified, legitimate need can ask for access, and each request is reviewed on its own merit
