Proxy Infrastructure for Ad Verification and Fraud Detection
Ad networks maintain real-time blocklists of all datacenter IP ranges. To verify that your ads appear correctly, you must use residential or mobile proxies - the same IP types your actual audience uses. DrSoft gives you real residential IPs for desktop verification and real carrier IPs for mobile campaign verification, in any country.
Recommended Proxy Types for Ad Verification
Datacenter proxies are blocked by ad networks - only residential and mobile IPs work
Residential Proxies
Verify desktop ad placements from real ISP-assigned IPs in your target markets. Ad networks serve these the same experience as real users.
Mobile Proxies
Verify mobile ad placements and in-app ads from real 4G/5G carrier IPs. Essential for campaigns targeted by carrier or device type.
ISP Proxies
Static residential IPs for continuous, scheduled verification of desktop ad placements without triggering rotation-based detection.
How Ad Verification with DrSoft Proxies Works
Define Campaigns and Geos to Verify
Identify the ad campaigns, publisher placements, and target countries or cities you need to check. Geographic targeting errors are among the most common - a US-only campaign leaking spend into other regions.
Use Residential or Mobile IPs Only
Route verification requests through residential IPs (desktop ads) or mobile carrier IPs (mobile and in-app ads). Datacenter IPs are on every ad network blocklist - you will see blocked content, not what real users see.
Compare Actual vs Expected Placements
Check that your creative appears in the correct position, the correct geo, on the correct publisher. Identify hidden ads, misplacements, and sites not in your approved list.
Document and Report
Collect timestamped screenshots and response data as evidence. Report placement violations to your ad network or DSP for credit or removal.
Why Teams Choose DrSoft for Ad Verification
Real IPs for real ad verification - datacenter proxies cannot do this job
See What Users Actually See
Ad networks detect and filter datacenter IPs, serving them different or no content. Residential and mobile IPs get the real user experience.
Detect Geo-Targeting Failures
Confirm that country, state, city, or carrier-targeted campaigns are actually reaching only the intended audience.
Mobile Carrier Verification
Some mobile campaigns target users on specific carriers (Verizon, AT&T, Vodafone). Mobile proxy IPs carry the real carrier metadata that triggers those targeting rules.
Cross-Market Coverage
Verify campaigns across 195+ countries with local residential and mobile IPs that match your audience profile in each market.
Continuous Monitoring
Run scheduled verification checks throughout the day. Fraudulent placements and geo-leakage can appear and disappear quickly.
