Residential Proxy Exposure Check

Check if your IP appears in residential proxy networks and track exposure

Problem
Developers and privacy-conscious users worry their IPs are being used in residential proxy networks (e.g., 911.re-style services), but there's no simple tool to check whether an IP is listed in a proxy pool. Current lookup methods are scattered and lack continuous monitoring.
Solution
Enter an IP or domain to query multiple public residential proxy lists and honeypot datasets, showing whether it appears, first and last seen times, and support periodic re-checks with email alerts.
Users
Privacy-focused individuals, security researchers, sysadmins, and pentest learners.
MVP
Batch query multiple public proxy lists and honeypot datasets; show hit status and timestamps per IP; save query history; offer daily or weekly automatic re-checks with email alerts.
Revenue
Free basic lookup; paid subscription for continuous monitoring, bulk queries, and API access; annual plans for security teams.
Why now
Residential proxy abuse is increasingly common, public honeypots and leak data are accessible, and indie developers can aggregate this data into a lightweight monitoring service without building a massive network.
