Proxies for brand protection, explained
Brand protection is one of the most common jobs people buy proxies for, and getting it right saves hours of blocked requests and wasted spend. Here's our up-to-date ranking of the providers that handle it best.
Infringers cloak content by region and block investigators, so localized proxies reveal what they hide. The main blocker is Geo-cloaking and blocks that conceal counterfeit listings from investigators., and the right proxies neutralise it. For this, residential proxies tend to work best — real IP addresses assigned by internet service providers to home users, which makes them harder to detect.
Pro tip: Scan from residential IPs in the markets where abuse occurs to uncover region-locked counterfeit storefronts.
