Residential proxy networks overlap heavily, CEO says
Original title: Where Residential Proxy IPs Come From – AMA with Massive's CEO
CEO estimates fewer than 10 independent networks for residential proxies.
The CEO of Massive estimates fewer than 10 independent residential proxy networks exist, implying many providers overlap or aggregate supply. Ethical sourcing programmes do not reveal actual traffic origins. Smart TV devices provide stable exits for long sessions. Endpoint IP addresses can remain the same even as underlying supply changes.
Unconfirmed: These are informed opinions from one operator, not independently audited statistics.
- Less than 10 independent networks estimated
- Single home device can participate in multiple networks
- Smart TVs recommended for stable long sessions
- Supply changes possible while endpoint stays fixed
