Our new Residential Proxy Observatory shows residential proxy traffic exiting the White House network: 236 times in 30 days, through 28 public proxy services.
No place is too remote
The White House is not the only surprise in the observatory. Residential proxies also reach some of the most isolated places on the planet.
Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha is the South Atlantic territory that includes the most remote inhabited island in the world. We recorded 413 addresses and more than 32,000 observations there, split between Starlink and the island’s local internet provider, Sure Saint Helena.
We also recorded three observations from Antarctica. All of them come from a Cloudflare WARP address that points to McMurdo Station.
Svalbard: 1 Starlink address in Longyearbyen, 3 observations.
Also seen: the Falklands (388 addresses), the Chagos Islands (43), Tokelau (21) and South Georgia (7).
Residential proxies have infected every corner of the world, and it looks like there is no place they cannot reach. Layer3 Intel tracks residential proxy and anonymization infrastructure worldwide. Even when the proxies hide in networks on the farthest corners of the planet, we can still observe them, leaving threat actors no place to hide.
