Scroll down to "anonymization": https://ipinfo.io/what-is-my-ip

If there's anything there, monitor your network to figure out exactly what

Freaky. They have a page explaining the concept (https://ipinfo.io/data/residential-proxy); when I checked it, there was a FOUC showing a full-screen, stretched image of what I think was Dario Amodei's face.

It lists VPN, Proxy, Tor, etc. Presumably a minus sign in a circle means you don't have the thing?

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>

Neat. I almost said "surely this will only detect if your internet connection is itself being routed through a residential proxy", and then I realised that's effectively the same thing!

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.

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.

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.
