Both are causing a dynamic that will lock down the internet evermore for everything straying slightly from the corporate-approved line.

If the divide was data center vs residential IPs, fine, but thanks to Bright Data and friends, residential IPs are getting suspicious as well, so I guess the next step is full-on client verification then...

I wish federal or state laws could force providing transparency because asking for privacy is a dead end at this point. Just force products and providers that run in my home where they phone in. Then, I can decide what to do with that whether I send them to a black hole or let them pass.

These are legitimate client devices. Good luck with that.

DC and residential IPs aren't real categories that exist either. They are guesses by IP reputation companies. Nothing except practicality stops an ISP from mixing them both into the same DHCP pool.
