Bot and evasion techniques
Residential proxy
A service that routes bot traffic through real consumer IP addresses to evade data-centre IP blocks.
A residential proxy can present a clean IP and a clean browser user-agent, but it still has to make the wire layers (TLS class, headers, client hints) agree, and they rarely do. Network reputation alone misses these, because the IP looks like an ordinary home connection; the catch comes from cross-layer consistency and behaviour rather than a blocklist.
