  Good afternoon everyone I’ll briefly share my POV on choosing a good proxy. Here are the 3 major things you must check before using any IP: 1. ISP (Internet Service Provider)
This is the most important factor.
Think of it like our local networks — Glo, Airtel, MTN, or 9mobile.
Always pick residential consumer ISPs (e.g., AT&T, Comcast for USA; Telstra/TPG for Australia; Virgin Media, BT, Vodafone for UK) instead of datacenter providers (DigitalOcean, AWS, Choopa, etc.).
Websites easily flag datacenter IPs, but residential ones look like normal users on home Wi-Fi or mobile data. 2. Fraud Score / IP Reputation
Before binding the proxy, test it with tools like Scamalytics, IPQS, or Pixelscan. • ✅ Low Fraud Score (0–10) = Clean & safe. • ❌ High Fraud Score (30+) = Avoid. It will trigger CAPTCHAs, bot detection, or shadowbans.
Also check it’s not blacklisted on major spam databases. 3. IP Range (First 3 Octets)
Not all ranges from the same ISP perform the same. Some subnets get abused over time.
Australia examples:
❌ Avoid: 1., 101., 110.
✅ Good: 124., 121., 120. (Telstra) | 80. (TPG)
UK examples:
✅ Good: 86., 80. (Virgin Media) | 82., 78. (BT) Pick the right ISP and you’ll rarely get flagged. This was the main issue a lot of people faced with services like Outlier and Handshake. What proxy challenges are you currently facing? Drop them below

  @realRick_AUS We need him to have a full mobile network so we can piss Telstra and Optus off forever

  @News24Aust Three people died. One person died in the more recent Telstra outage. Australians are supposed to trust the government with Digital ID?

  @KutthroatSosa @nemagovau Pretty sure the old one only used Telstra network (as it was a licenced Telstra product). Maybe this one broadcasts on all, which would solve a lot of the distribution issue. And in an emergency, a few minutes can mean a lot.

  @KataKez Telstra can already spam everyone connected to cell tower without this ****. Think about the times when you have travelled somewhere and you get that text saying something like they are “doing work on this network over the next 5 days”

  @telstra Since I havent had an answer back from you yet I will ask again. Why am I "blocked from making an o/seas call because I am on a prepaid plan"? Since when? More so since your prices are going up YET AGAIN why am I being charged more for less service?

  @rpotter_9 Telstra time server downed part of Telstra network, but I can’t readily think of anything that will down all three. Except maybe the GPS.

  @Matt_Camenzuli I report to you sleeping in my car using a Telstra pay phone free Internet hotspot. **** is far far far more dire than most wish to wake up to. I see it every night when others are comfy in bed in a home. Far more people are living tough than anyone realises — they ‘come out’ once people ‘go in’ — because otherwise they get told to move on. And they’re gone in the am before people know. SEVERE HARD TIMES are here.
