If you work with IP data, you already know the internet gets weird. That’s why we opened up ProbeNet Live: Now anyone can validate routing paths, latency, packet loss, geolocation claims, and connectivity behavior themselves instead of taking our word for it. https://ipinfo.io/probenet/live

#ResidentialProxy ecosystems increasingly resemble interconnected supply chains rather than standalone networks. Since this infrastructure gets recycled so aggressively across providers, IPinfo’s stability signals like last_seen and percent_days_seen become important. #ThreatIntelligence #IPdata

After Google disrupted IPIDEA’s infrastructure, our research found: • 92.7% IP overlap with other providers • 12 brands sharing one Tencent backend • 44.7M IPs tied to the network https://hubs.ly/Q04h1Bx70 #frauddetection #IPdata

University networks are some of the most dynamic environments on the internet: ✅ High user turnover ✅ Mixed devices ✅ Constantly shifting traffic patterns That variability is critical to how ProbeNet verifies IP data, and exactly what it’s built to measure.

IPinfo on Splunk now includes residential proxy detection. Enrich IPs with geo, ASN, company, privacy & residential proxy signals, via API or MMDB. Available on Splunkbase. https://ipinfo.io/integrations/splunk #Cybersecurity #SIEM #IPData #SOC

From IPv6 to internet measurement and network behavior, #RIPE92 brings together the teams helping operate and understand the internet. IPinfo's Oliver Gasser and Ross Lewis are there this week contributing to conversations around measurement, infrastructure, and the continued buildout of ProbeNet.

During Iran’s internet shutdowns, our measurements show major consumer networks collapsing while many privileged networks continue to respond near pre-collapse levels. Effectively creating a two-tier internet system. https://ipinfo.io/reports/iran-internet-outage-data #InternetInfrastructure #Iran

For security teams, understanding how IP data behaves as infrastructure shifts, IPs rotate, and abuse evolves depends on how you measure. ProbeNet added 67 PoPs in Q1 to improve that visibility. https://hubs.ly/Q04fwZJM0 #IPIntelligence #CyberSecurity #NetworkInfrastructure

The IPIDEA residential proxy takedown didn’t remove the problem. We found: • 92.7% of IPIDEA-affiliated IPs overlapped across providers • 46% of residential proxy IPs appear in multiple networks • 78% rotate before reputation systems can act https://hubs.ly/Q04fv-th0 #Cybersecurity #FraudDetection

ProbeNet just expanded into Georgetown, Kentucky 🥃🐎 New PoP in bourbon country, adding depth to real-world internet measurement across the U.S. #IPIntelligence #NetworkInfrastructure #InternetMeasurement

In your experience, is IP reputation still pulling its weight in modern abuse detection? #IPIntelligence #CyberSecurity #FraudDetection

In our latest research, we break down how residential proxy infrastructure actually behaves and why it’s harder to disrupt than it looks. Read the whitepaper 👉 https://hubs.ly/Q04fv-th0 #ProxyNetworks #CyberSecurity #IPIntelligence

Ben Dowing, IPinfo Founder and Co-CEO, breaks down how IP signals behave across anonymized traffic. + Examples of how residential proxy IPs disappear after a takedown but resurface across providers. https://ipinfo.io/blog/ip-intelligence-anonymized-traffic-webinar #Cybersecurity #FraudDetection

Together with AbuseIPDB, we analyzed 260M+ IPs. 53% of actively abusive IPs are tied to VPNs or residential proxies. See our findings: https://ipinfo.io/blog/vpns-residential-proxies-abuse-findings-rsac-2026 #IPIntelligence #CyberSecurity #ProxyNetworks

New ProbeNet PoP: Boca Chica, Dominican Republic. More coverage means better measurement in regions where network visibility is often limited. Stronger signals for routing, latency, and validation across the Caribbean. #NetworkMeasurement #IPData #InternetInfrastructure

New ProbeNet data shows Iran’s internet reachability dropped ~99% twice in 2026, with connectivity still under 1% of peak as of April 6.

What do you think is the most underrated signal in IP data? Drop your answer below 👇 #IPdata #DevTools

We don’t play favorites, but we do have opinions. #IPdata #IPintelligence #DevTools

Can “99.8% accurate” IP data actually be trusted? It sounds precise and scientific, but once you look closer, it becomes difficult to interpret and even harder to validate. Here’s why 🧵 #IPGeolocation #NetworkData #Cybersecurity

IPinfo Places uses WiFi observation to map an IP from “New York” to a specific venue like the Empire State Building. Now in private beta, IPinfo Places flags 30+ venue types across real-world environments. Request access → https://ipinfo.io/data/places #IPData #DevTools #Geolocation

This session covers what we see: • Anonymization classification beyond binary flags • VPN providers misrepresenting server locations • Residential proxy ecosystems post-IPIDEA Register here: https://informatechtarget.tradepub.com/free/w_defa10621/ #IPIntelligence #FraudDetection #Cybersecurity

Congrats to IPinfo’s Oliver Gasser and co-authors for winning Best Paper at PAM 2026 🏆 Their #research on internet ossification and path-impairing middleboxes across IPv4 and #IPv6 explores how infrastructure shapes network behavior https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-032-18268-5_5

An IP might geolocate to Tokyo… but actually be 35,000ft over the Pacific. ✈️ Airport & in-flight tags add context beyond coordinates: • Separate traveler & local traffic • Strengthen fraud & attribution models https://ipinfo.io/blog/introducing-new-ip-tags-airport-airplane #Geolocation #IPData

When you compare IP data providers, the differences show up in how the data is maintained and delivered. Update frequency, usage limits, and accuracy across tiers all affect performance. How IPinfo compares: https://ipinfo.io/compare/maxmind-alternatives #IPGeolocation #NetworkData #DataAccuracy

We’ll be on the ground at Black Hat Asia (April 21–24) in Singapore. If you’re at Marina Bay Sands, we’d love to connect. We’ll be talking IP data, detection challenges, and what we’re seeing across the proxy and infrastructure landscape.

ProbeNet now includes a new point of presence in Hiroshima. Expanding coverage here helps capture those differences more precisely. Check out how ProbeNet expanded over Q1: https://ipinfo.io/blog/probenet-q1-2026-expansion #NetworkData #IPGeolocation

An IP is flagged as a #ResidentialProxy. Now what? The classification is just the starting point. percent_days_seen and last_seen add the time-based context needed to understand behavior. Explore the data: https://ipinfo.io/data/residential-proxy #NetworkData #Cybersecurity

Which signal do you trust least when working with IP data? A) Location B) Connection type C) ASN / network D) Privacy flags #IPData #DevTools #Networking

Based on our original research, this is why mobile roaming breaks IP geolocation and how prefix classification helps fix it 👇 #IPGeolocation #MobileNetworks #NetworkData

Accuracy you can’t test or benchmark is just a claim. “Proprietary” doesn’t prove anything, verifiable data does. With ProbeNet Live, you can run real-time network measurements from 150+ countries and test it yourself: https://ipinfo.io/probenet/live #IPData #DataAccuracy #ProbeNet

The industry expects too little from #IPdata. “Close enough” locations & unverifiable signals are not good enough. Accuracy comes from measurement. If your IP data cannot prove itself, it is a guess. Trust the data that can show its work. https://ipinfo.io/probe-network #Geolocation #DevTools

How much of your ad spend is leaking? Invalid traffic from bots, proxy networks, and hosting infrastructure can quietly drain budgets and distort campaign performance. Use our free #AdTech Traffic Leak tool to estimate how much spend may be flowing to IVT→ https://hubs.ly/Q046rGHL0 #IVT #AdFraud

Anycast improves performance across the internet, but it changes how IP location should be interpreted. If your systems assume IP geolocation is static, understanding anycast is critical. Here’s how it works and how we handle it at IPinfo. #IPdata #CyberSecurity #Networking

Where in the world is IPinfo? This time, we caught the sunset along the Adriatic. From coastal cities to major metros, every new point of presence helps us better measure the internet. If you could add a city to our global map of PoPs, where would it be? #ProbeNet #InternetInfrastructure

Truncated IPs make IVT detection harder. When DSPs only see partially-anonymized IPs pre-bid, critical privacy context disappears. We reconstructed that signal at the /24 level and achieved 98.5% accuracy across key flags. Here’s how → https://hubs.ly/Q046rn460 #AdTech #IPData #IVT
