Just out of curiosity, how are you going to handle Luminati? They're bot-networking home users all over the world in exchange for free VPN.

- thaumaturgy 9y agoThat's pretty neat. For our purposes, those residential IPs that are used maliciously through this service will just hurt the reputation of the ISP they belong to. I suspect we'll see something shake out in the data where this activity is limited to some kind of specific demographics (ISP, netrange, geographic location) and shouldn't interfere too badly with the system as a whole.
- lr4444lr 9y agoThat's what I thought. In case you were wondering, as a Luminati user (on the proxy end, not the VPN end thank god), my experience has been higher latency and request fail rate than on traditional proxy networks. It's definitely not my first weapon in the arsenal, but since the target for multiple reasons already has an effective high latency and my users are sufficiently motivated enough to wait for what I'm delivering, it's a pretty effective last resort.
