Ad Verification Proxies that don't get blocked.
Ad fraud and cloaking show different creatives to different geos and devices, so you can't verify from the office IP. Confirm your ads render correctly and land on the right page in each market and device class — residential for web placements, mobile for in-app.
Without proxies, ad verification stalls fast.
Ad fraud and cloaking show different creatives to different geos and devices, so you can't verify from the office IP.
See ads as a local does
Residential IPs in the exact target geo render the real placement a user sees — not the safe version ad networks show known verifiers.
Catch ad fraud
Spot domain spoofing, hidden stacked ads, and bot-only inventory by checking placements from clean residential IPs at scale.
Verify geo-targeting
Confirm a campaign bought for Germany actually serves in Germany — and isn't leaking impressions to the wrong country.
Check landing pages
Follow the click through to the landing page from each geo to catch redirects, malware, and non-compliant offers.
The right proxy type for ad verification.
Residential by geo for web ads; pair mobile for mobile-placement checks.

Four mistakes that miss ad fraud.
Verify wrong and you sign off on campaigns that are quietly losing money. These are the failures we see most.
Verifying from one location
Checking a global campaign from one office IP confirms one city's delivery and misses geo-leaks everywhere else.
Fix: set -country-de, -city-saopaulo etc. per geo you bought.
Using datacenter IPs
Ad networks flag datacenter ranges and show them a clean decoy ad, so fraud and brand-safety issues never appear.
Fix: use residential — the ad server treats it as a real impression.
One IP for the whole sweep
Hammering an ad server from a single IP gets rate-limited and starts returning blanks instead of live creatives.
Fix: use rotating mode (default) — a fresh IP per check.
Skipping mobile placements
In-app and mobile-web inventory renders differently; desktop-only checks miss half the campaign.
Fix: verify mobile placements through mobile proxies alongside residential.
