Was arguing with my cofounder about whether we needed residential proxies or if datacenter ones were fine for our use case. here He sent me this during the debate, and it settled the argument definitively. The detection rate comparisons between proxy types show how aggressively modern sites fingerprint and block non-residential IPs. For our USA e-commerce use case, datacenter proxies have an 80 percent block rate versus under 5 percent for residential. The math made the decision obvious. We are now residential-only for production and our block rate matches the predictions. Clear comparative data resolved an honest disagreement in minutes instead of endless debate.
