If there was a way of detecting the proxy SDKs, it would be a simple matter of banning the device. Or at least naming and shaming the apps that use them.

- zbentley 17d agoI'm sure there are ways of detecting residential proxy clients that are reasonably effective. I'm equally sure that the people in possession of those techniques (thinking CDN providers, big social networks with public links, newsrooms) are unlikely to share their secret sauce in public. Doing that loses a competitive edge in cost-of-hosting, and as soon as you go public the residential proxy makers can adapt.
