# IP Anonymity Report: September 2026

VPN IP grew to 528 providers, residential proxy IPv4 held at 68.9M as IPv6 fell, and Hosting IP named 389 hosting providers in September 2026.

Our [VPN IP](https://internetdata.io/databases/vpn-ip) database went from 454 providers with IP data to 528 in September 2026. [Residential Proxy IP](https://internetdata.io/databases/residential-proxy-ip) held its IPv4 at 68.9 million while losing 14.1 million IPv6, and [Hosting IP](https://internetdata.io/databases/hosting-ip) went from 238 named hosting providers to 389. Every figure below compares the databases as built on August 31 and on September 30.

## VPN IP

| | Aug 31 | Sep 30 | Change |
|---|---:|---:|---:|
| Providers with IP data | 454 | 528 | +74 (+16.3%) |
| IPv4 with a named provider | 3,184,927 | 3,740,752 | +555,825 (+17.5%) |
| High-confidence IPv4 | 1,276,264 | 1,247,751 | -28,513 (-2.2%) |
| All IPv4 | 20,960,757 | 21,405,993 | +445,236 (+2.1%) |
| Providers in the catalog | 1,431 | 1,870 | +439 (+30.7%) |

The provider count held at 454 until September 20, then climbed to 528 by the month's end: 80 providers came in and 6 dropped out. New VPN services include Norton VPN, AVG VPN, Urban VPN and PureDome.

Of the newcomers, 23 make business VPN gateways, firewalls and routers, among them WatchGuard, DrayTek, Sophos and Fortinet. Their gateways account for 496,969 IPv4, most of the month's gain in named addresses. Organizations run these for their own people, so they carry the `enterprise_vpn` flag in the [VPN provider catalog](https://docs.internetdata.io/database/vpn-ip/vpn-provider), and you can score them apart from consumer VPNs. The catalog describes every VPN provider we track, whether or not we have its IPs yet.

High-confidence IPv4 stood at 1,315,960 on September 29, up 3.1% on the month, before we tightened how providers we find only in registry records reach that tier, which moved about 68,000 of their IPv4 down a tier without dropping them from the database.

## Residential, Mobile and Datacenter Proxy IP

| 90-day window | Aug 31 | Sep 30 | Change |
|---|---:|---:|---:|
| [Residential Proxy IP](https://internetdata.io/databases/residential-proxy-ip) | 130,582,762 | 116,483,170 | -14,099,592 (-10.8%) |
| IPv4 | 68,902,181 | 68,882,345 | -19,836 (-0.03%) |
| IPv6 | 61,680,581 | 47,600,825 | -14,079,756 (-22.8%) |
| [Mobile Proxy IP](https://internetdata.io/databases/mobile-proxy-ip) | 4,219,761 | 3,633,744 | -586,017 (-13.9%) |
| [Datacenter Proxy IP](https://internetdata.io/databases/datacenter-proxy-ip) | 1,012,333 | 919,985 | -92,348 (-9.1%) |
| Providers with IPs, across all three | 129 | 129 | 0 |
| [Proxy providers cataloged](https://docs.internetdata.io/database/resproxy-ip/resproxy-provider) | 488 | 614 | +126 (+25.8%) |

Residential IPv4 stayed between 68.9 and 69.3 million every day of the month. The fall is IPv6, for two reasons. Some large residential proxy providers have shut down, and their addresses are still aging out of the 90-day window. We also temporarily lost tracking of a few networks whose addresses were mostly IPv6; that coverage will pick back up.

## Hosting IP

| | Aug 31 | Sep 30 | Change |
|---|---:|---:|---:|
| Named hosting providers | 238 | 389 | +151 (+63.4%) |
| High-confidence IPv4 | 409,253,553 | 418,191,952 | +8,938,399 (+2.2%) |
| All IPv4 | 810,119,756 | 811,294,796 | +1,175,040 (+0.1%) |

The new providers include Latitude.sh, TransIP, STRATO, Psychz Networks and Servers Australia. The [hosting provider catalog](https://docs.internetdata.io/database/hosting-ip/hosting-provider) now also lists the server networks some VPN companies run themselves, NordVPN's and Surfshark's among them.

## CDN, Relay and Tor IP

- [CDN IP](https://internetdata.io/databases/cdn-ip): 13,070,178 IPv4, flat.
- [Relay IP](https://internetdata.io/databases/relay-ip): 289,195 IPv4, down 7.3%. The ranges Google stopped publishing for its VPN services in late June left on September 23, once they had gone 90 days unseen.
- [Tor IP](https://internetdata.io/databases/tor-ip): 12,336 exit IPv4, down 5.7%.
