➡️ ISP Proxy ASNs & IP Reputation Explained
Rayobyte’s ISP (Static Residential) Proxies are designed to provide high-trust, residential-class IPs sourced from a wide range of real Internet Service Providers.
To maintain quality and availability, we source ISP proxies from multiple providers—both large and small—across the United States. This diversity allows us to deliver cleaner IPs, reduce saturation, and improve long-term reliability.
➡️ Do ISP Proxy ASNs Matter?
A common concern we hear is:
“I didn’t receive IPs from a specific ISP, so these proxies won’t work for me.”
In practice, the ASN or brand name of the ISP is far less important than how the IP is classified and trusted by websites.
Rayobyte ISP proxies are tested to ensure they are consistently recognized as ISP/residential IPs, not datacenter or hosting infrastructure.
➡️ How Websites Identify ISP Proxies
Websites rely on third-party IP intelligence databases, not the ISP’s brand name, to determine how an IP should be treated.
The key field these databases evaluate is the “Usage Type”.
- ✔ ISP Proxies: Listed as Fixed ISP / Residential
- ✖ Datacenter IPs: Listed as Datacenter / Hosting
Rayobyte ensures our ISP proxies are correctly categorized across major IP databases.
➡️ Real Examples from IP Databases
Below are public examples from IP2Location, a widely used IP intelligence provider:
- ✔ ISP Proxy: https://www.ip2location.com/demo/161.77.96.3
- ✔ ISP Proxy: https://www.ip2location.com/demo/65.215.17.0
- ✔ ISP Proxy: https://www.ip2location.com/demo/50.231.88.0
- ✖ Datacenter IP (for comparison): https://www.ip2location.com/demo/104.244.100.0
As shown above, Rayobyte ISP proxies are consistently identified as ISP/residential usage types, regardless of the provider’s size or name.
➡️ What This Means for Your Use Case
- ✔ Websites see the IP as residential, not datacenter
- ✔ Higher trust and lower block rates compared to DC proxies
- ✔ ASN diversity helps avoid overused or saturated IP ranges
If a specific website enforces ASN-based rules beyond standard IP classification, behavior may vary—but this is controlled by the target site, not the proxy provider.
