How does Spur distinguish residential proxies from legitimate home users?

Spur correlates IP ownership, ASN routing, and proxy-service behavior to confirm infrastructure attribution – not user identity.

How is residential proxy data kept current?

Detection models run continuously, classifying new proxy endpoints as they appear.

How can I integrate Residential Proxy Detection?

Residential proxy detection is available through Spur’s API for real-time enrichment, on-prem feeds for large-scale analytics, or session enrichment for live correlation.

What data is included per IP?

Over 20 enrichment attributes covering network, geography, service ownership, and behavioral metadata.

The Spur platform identifies traffic originating from residential proxy networks by analyzing service fingerprints, ASN ownership, and behavioral indicators. It continuously maps proxy exit nodes across hundreds of millions of anonymized IPs and 1,000+ proxy and VPN services.

Residential proxies enable automation and fraud to blend in with legitimate home traffic. By enriching IPs with verified infrastructure and behavioral context, Spur enables teams to detect account abuse, scraping, and automation without adding friction for real users.

Key Benefits
