Websites have long learned to identify users without cookies — through behavior, mouse movements, and dozens of other signals. We analyze how this works and what actually helps to protect yourself.

Website protection has considered for decades that one IP equals one respondent. CGNAT broke this assumption: behind a mobile operator's address sit hundreds of live subscribers, and banning such an address has become a paid operation. Cloudflare digitized the effect — and the numbers turned out to be counterintuitive: rate limiting occurs three times more often, and a separate model has learned to distinguish CGNAT from proxy pools.

Corporate intelligence without proxies is like spying on a competitor while wearing a name badge. We explain how to set up anonymous competitor monitoring without revealing your company.

Geolocation spoofing through proxies allows arbitrageurs, SMM specialists, and marketplace sellers to fully control from which country or city they are seen by platforms—without bans or restrictions.

Online stores collect data on every click and adjust prices based on your profile. We explain how to use proxies for anonymous shopping and stop overpaying.

Analysis of GitHub Copilot traffic showed: the client collects up to 20 context files, diffs of edits, and the contents of the open .env — everything is sent to the server as plain text, while the local chat history is stored without encryption. A step-by-step guide on how to set up mitmproxy in local mode, capture the canary in the request body, and why the standard content exclusion does not help in agent mode.

Managing multiple Google accounts and worried about bans? We discuss which proxies to choose and how to set them up correctly to avoid losing your accounts.

Airline tickets become more expensive after a second look, and products on marketplaces vary in price depending on your IP. We explore how price discrimination works online and how proxies help reveal real prices.

The Google Topics API has replaced FLoC and continues to track user interests directly in the browser. We analyze how this affects advertising and multi-accounting, and what to do with proxies and anti-detect browsers.

For three years, residential proxies only got cheaper — in 2026, the trend broke. According to a survey of 13 providers, prices turned upward by 25%, and discount coupons of 40-50% disappeared. We analyze the market numbers, the reasons for the contraction in the supply of residential IPs (takedown of IPIDEA and NetNut, ban on proxy-SDKs in televisions), and what this means for the traffic budget.
