The current 106 break down as 104 residential, 2 mobile, and 6 datacenter feeds, with several providers contributing to more than one category.

Inside the residential pool

These are observations from the residential 90d snapshot as of June 10.

  • Nearly half the pool (48.5%) was observed exactly once over 90 days: 28.5% of IPv4 versus 64.4% of IPv6.
  • Median lifetime in the pool is 4.8 days for IPv4 and 1.0 day for IPv6. The IPv4 tail is long: the 75th-percentile IPv4 address persists 38.5 days, so a meaningful slice of IPv4 is durable enough to score with confidence, while IPv6 is effectively single-day and should be treated as ephemeral.
  • 38.9% of the pool was seen across more than one provider: 60.9% of IPv4 versus 21.3% of IPv6. IPv4 supply is heavily resold, so the same address routinely appears behind multiple commercial brands; IPv6 addresses are far more likely to be unique to a single provider.

What changed behind the scenes

  • Mobile and datacenter sourcing expanded. We brought a new commercial source online for both the mobile and datacenter databases this window. More to come.
  • Master provider catalog grew. Our automated catalog of commercial proxy providers expanded to 372 entries, and we seem to be hitting a ceiling - it seems all that remains are new providers that get introduced month-to-month.
