This session covers what we see:
• Anonymization classification beyond binary flags
• VPN providers misrepresenting server locations
• Residential proxy ecosystems post-IPIDEA

Once you’ve detected anonymized traffic, what signals do you look at next to assess risk?

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

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

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.

IPinfo Lite gives you fast, reliable IP data without the overhead.
Simple to integrate, with the core signals needed for many use cases.

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.

#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.

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

What this means in practice:
Mobile IP geolocation is complex, but it’s not unsolvable.
Classifying prefixes and understanding roaming behavior helps systems decide when to trust an IP’s location and when to treat it with caution.
Prefix behavior determines reliability.
Some prefixes are roaming-only and often mislead geolocation.
Others mix roaming and non-roaming traffic, making them inconsistent signals.
Three roaming architectures shape the outcome:
Home-routed (HR): traffic tunnels back to the home network
Local breakout (LBO): traffic exits in the visited country
IPX hub breakout (IHBO): traffic exits via a third-party gateway
Roaming introduces location mismatch.
With home routing, the IP reflects the home network, not where the user actually is. So, someone traveling abroad can still appear in their home country ⚠️
Mobile IPs don’t map cleanly to location.
Prefixes get reused across regions, shared between carriers, and masked behind CGNAT. One IP can represent users in multiple locations at the same time.
Based on our original research, this is why mobile roaming breaks IP geolocation and how prefix classification helps fix it 👇

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

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.

IPv6 plays a growing role in how the internet operates today.
Oliver Gasser, Head of Research at IPinfo, shares a perspective on how relevant #IPv6 has become across modern networks and what that shift looks like in practice.

Great presenting at #RSAC2026 with AbuseIPDB
They shared new research on how VPNs and residential proxies are used for abuse in the wild, powered in part by IPinfo data. Key takeaways on where risk concentrates and what it means for detection workflows.
If you’re here, come find us at booth S-2345
At #RSAC2026 and curious how IP data is generated and validated?
We’re sharing early demos of ProbeNet Live this week and talking through how measurement supports accuracy in real-world security workflows.
Come find us at the IPinfo booth, S-2345.
Kicking off the first full day at #RSAC2026.
We're talking IP data, internet infrastructure, and how measurement-backed data is shaping detection workflows.
Stop by booth S-2345.
It just makes sense 😉
IPinfo continuously measures the entire routable internet. ProbeNet Live opens a window into that measurement layer.
Run real-time pings and traceroutes from 1,300+ global PoPs and see the results alongside IP intelligence.

With BYOK, teams can use IPinfo data inside AppGate to refine access decisions with real-time IP signals and fewer false positives.
We’ll be at RSA Conference next week walking through how this works in practice.
Stop by booth S-2345 or book time with our team → hubs.ly/Q042Zlps0
We’ve partnered with AppGate to bring IPinfo data into ZTNA.
In Zero Trust, context is everything. The IP address is one of the first signals evaluated. This changes what teams can do next ⬇️
