What "Client Proxies" Means in Spur Data
"Client Proxies" in Spur data describes proxy-network activity Spur observed coming from an IP — it does not mean the IP is owned or operated by the listed provider.
Context API Chrome Extension
Install Spur's Context API Chrome Extension to look up IP enrichment data directly from any web page — highlight an IP and get results inline, without leaving your browser. This is a developer-mode tool, not a Chrome Web Store listing.
Why the Organization Field Isn't Available the Same Way Across Spur's Data Feeds
The Context API's per-IP organization field isn't guaranteed in every data feed. Each feed has a different schema and covers a different slice of IP space, so field availability varies by feed.
Why Residential Proxy Classifications Can Appear on Legitimate Infrastructure
Residential proxy networks recruit real consumer devices to relay traffic, so a legitimate ISP's own IP ranges can show a residential-proxy classification without the ISP's knowledge or involvement.
