Ad fraud costs the industry billions annually. Residential proxies let you see ads exactly as a real user does -- verifying placement, creative, and targeting accuracy in every market.
Use rotating residential proxies for ad verification. You need to see what a real local user sees, and residential IPs are the only way to do that accurately. Mobile proxies help verify in-app ad placements.

Ad networks serve different creatives based on visitor location, device, and behavior profile. A datacenter IP sees the wrong ads -- or no ads at all. Residential IPs see exactly what your target audience sees.
The only reliable way to see what a real user sees is to become one.
Scheduler, proxy fetch, parser, store -- the proxy is one line in the fetch step. Everything else is pipeline you already run.
Use country + city headers to verify ads in each campaign market. One gateway, multiple markets.
Align verification frequency with your campaign schedule. Daily for always-on campaigns, hourly during launches.
Run the same check from multiple locations to catch geo-targeting issues and unauthorized ad placements.
Failed fetches are never billed, so your effective cost tracks the success rate you actually observe.
Ad networks serve different creatives based on visitor location, device, and behavior profile, so a datacenter IP often sees the wrong ads or none at all. Residential proxies see exactly what your target audience sees, letting you catch fraud, misplacement, and targeting errors, since residential IPs get the same ad stack real consumers receive.
Yes -- use mobile 4G/5G proxies to see in-app ad placements exactly as mobile users experience them. In-app ad verification is what mobile proxies are for in this workflow, and pairing them with city-level targeting across the 195 countries KnoxProxy covers lets you check in-app campaigns market by market instead of guessing from one device.
Match your verification cadence to your campaign schedule. Run daily checks as the minimum for always-on campaigns, and increase to hourly during launches or whenever fraud is suspected. Aligning cadence with the campaign schedule, rather than checking on a fixed clock, catches misplacement and targeting errors while they are still active.
Absolutely. Ad verification is one of the most established proxy use cases, practiced by every major brand and agency running paid campaigns. It monitors public ad placements on public pages only, which is standard industry practice for brand safety and fraud prevention across ad networks, publishers, and in-app inventory.
