Show HN: Check if your IP has appeared in a residential proxy network

Would be great if it told me how recently it was detected. I have a dynamic IP from my ISP and it could very well be someone else's device 3 days or 3 months ago.

In my testing, Synthient's tool[0] and offerings have performed very well for this kind of service. Synthient have also achieved impressive proven success against malicious botnets[1].

This would probably false positive every CGNAT IP, or am I misunderstanding something?

I am on mobile network and it fails to consider this as a factor that other people who might receive this IP could be having a proxy.

Keep in mind these databases can be wildly inaccurate and basically impossible to prove them wrong (you can't prove a negative).

I've seen this (and verified with others) with other sites like iknowwhatyoudownload.com where they allege your connection downloaded something very illegal (like CSAM) even though you know for certain it never happened and you haven't been hacked.

Seems it only detects ipv4. Any plan to support scanning ipv6 /56 range?

It says I was observed on a couple areas, but not sure what to do with that information. It would be great if thi tool provided links to guides to discover more.

Needs an API to query other IPs beyond one's own.

very nice.

Can we use it in other IPs? (without having to issue the request from that IP)
