DuckDuckGo Traffic

I doubt this because DDG usually gives me very different results from ecosia, an actual Bing proxy.

They probably do a different ranking on the bing index, not directly proxying. If you try non trivial searches, you can see that ddg does not have a different result than bing, only order and representation differs.

Try various "what is my ip" queries and you will see that the cached IP on results which show it in the snippet is the same on DDG and Bing (and Ecosia), while different on Google.
