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?

(cyber consultant, have people who might use this for enrichment in security stacks)

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.

I assume that eventually the flag will just become meaningless and there will be other methods of verification in use by then... because cutting off a huge chunk of your customers just isn't good business.

But for now I'm already cut off from half the internet due to endless crimeflare captcha loops... I just don't visit those sites anymore because I literally can't.

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?

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?

Keep in mind these databases can be wildly inaccurate and basically impossible to prove them wrong (you can't prove a negative).

I've seen this (and verified with others) with other sites like iknowwhatyoudownload.com where they allege your connection downloaded something very illegal (like CSAM) even though you know for certain it never happened and you haven't been hacked.
