Summary

Anonymised traffic. The connection arrives through a carrier address sold as a proxy exit — treat the address as a shared egress, not as one user.

Resold capacity. It is also in a proxy pool, so automated traffic can arrive from it without the subscriber's involvement.

Looks residential. It is a consumer or carrier address rented out, which is why it will pass every check that only asks whether the connection looks like a person's.

Every signal, checked

All eight datasets are queried on every lookup. A dataset that did not match is shown as not seen, never as a missing field.

A carrier-assigned address sold as a proxy. One mobile address can front thousands of real customers, so blocking it outright is expensive.
