| Out of curiosity, how would I check my own device for a residential proxy? |

| Scroll down to "anonymization": https://ipinfo.io/what-is-my-ip If there's anything there, monitor your network to figure out exactly what |

| ▲ | beepbooptheory an hour ago | parent [-] | | I had same confusion for a second but the html does clear it up: yes, it means you don't have the thing. <li class="...">
<div class="...">
<div class="..."></div>
</div>
<span class="text-sm">Residential Proxy</span>
<span class="sr-only">Not detected</span>
</li>

| ▲ | advisedwang an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | AFAIU that tells you if your access to ipinfo.io is thru a residential proxy, not if somebody else is using a residential proxy on your network. | | |
| ▲ | Retr0id an hour ago | parent | next [-] | | It's effectively the same thing. If a residential proxy is running on your network, your IP will soon become known as a residential proxy exit. | |
| ▲ | nostrademons an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | It detects if your IP is a residential proxy, not if you are using a residential proxy. From the perspective of the outside Internet, they are the same thing, the only one who cares about the difference is you. |

| Fantastic question. There is so much IOT garbage out there that someone might slip into my network, what can I do to easily detect it? I was aghast when my partner connected a pet watering bowl to the WiFi. |

| Watch egress at the router for anything unaccounted for, tbh. |
