Residential IP
An IP address assigned by an ISP to a residential customer, generally trusted by fraud-detection systems as belonging to a real user.
A residential IP is an IP address allocated by a consumer ISP (Comcast, Verizon, AT&T) to a residential subscriber. IP-intelligence vendors (MaxMind, IP2Location, IPQualityScore, Spur) classify these as low-risk, since they're tied to physical households. Residential proxy networks (Bright Data, Oxylabs) sell access to residential IPs by routing traffic through real consumer devices, but their use is widely detected by sophisticated fraud systems via timing, ASN density, and behavioral signatures.
