Updates to user count data
March 4, 2026Between Tuesday March 3 and Friday, March 6, 2026 (and possibly longer), we are making daily updates to the user count data to more often return a value of 0 or 1 for residential proxies.
Previously, approximately 50% of residential proxy IPs on single household IPs had a user count value of at least 2, and 50% had a value of 0 or 1. This update will make it easier to flag a high volume of customer profiles on a residential proxy as anomalous in relation to a lower user count value of 0 or 1.
Please see an explanation of user counts below:
| User count | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | IP assigned to a single end-user at a time (household, person, or small business), or not in use. |
| 1 | IP assigned to a single end-user with possibility of multiple end-users. |
| 2 | IP shared with multiple end-users. |
| >5 | IP shared with many end-users. |
