Detect Residential Proxies
and CAPTCHA-Solving Bots.
Modern bots look human: real browsers, residential IPs, and AI-powered CAPTCHA solving. Reputable detects proxy-rotated automation before it corrupts conversions, attribution, and growth decisions. Clean analytics, protect content from scrapers, and keep real users from competing with fake traffic.
// Why Top-Tier Bot Defenses Still Fail
Built for DDoS, Not Click Fraud
- IP Blocklists — Residential proxy networks rotate "clean" IPs constantly. Blocking them blocks real customers.
- Rate Limiting — Scrapers distribute across huge IP pools and run low-and-slow to avoid thresholds.
- Edge-Only Signals — Residential proxies and real browsers make bots look legitimate.
- CAPTCHAs — Increasingly solved by AI-powered automation. They add friction without stopping determined actors.
- Enterprise WAFs & Bot Managers — Great at generic threats, but residential proxy traffic often looks clean at the edge — and they're expensive.
What You're Up Against
It can be about downtime — but paid traffic is often hit by slow, distributed automation that slips past edge defenses and pollutes conversions, attribution, and campaign optimization.
// How Reputable Works
Signal over Noise.
We build company-specific reputation from your real traffic. Not generic threat feeds — signals tied to the actions that matter in your product.
Deep Integration
Capture high-signal context around meaningful in-app actions: the steps users take, when they take them, and whether sessions behave like real intent. This is where "real browser" bots slip up.
Your Reputation DB
Decide on visitors in your ecosystem. If an IP/session behaves suspiciously in your flows, that matters more than a generic global label.
Clean Analytics
Tag key events with a decision and reasons. Use it to filter analytics and attribution and to drive inline decisions (allow, challenge, block) at the moments that matter.
// Detection Capabilities
- Residential Proxy Detection
Identify proxy-rotated traffic without blocking real customers.
- Real-Browser Bot Detection
Catch bots that pass basic checks and CAPTCHAs.
- Session Trust Scoring
Separate real intent from scripted flows across sessions.
- Behavioral Consistency
Humans have patterns. Bots have scripts. We know the difference.
- Honeypot Instrumentation
Hidden fields and links that only automation sees.
- Real-time Scoring
Inline decisions you can use to tag, challenge, or block.
// Use Cases
Reduce invalid clicks and fake intent so CPC and conversion rates reflect real demand.
Protect inventory from bots. Clean conversion data for real optimization.
Accurate trial signups. Real usage metrics. No phantom accounts.
Know your real audience. Protect content from scraping at scale.
// Why Residential Proxy Detection Matters
“In a single seven day period, we observed over 550 individual threat groups utilizing IPIDEA exit nodes to obfuscate their activities.”— Google Threat Intelligence, Jan 2026
“The effectiveness of IP address blocklists has diminished... creating a growing need for connection-based and session-based access control.”— Trend Micro Research
“Traffic from ResProxies blends in with legitimate traffic... incredibly difficult to detect or block.”— Comcast Security Research
Reputable detects residential proxies using behavioral and network signals that blocklists can't see. We catch the traffic that looks clean at the edge.
