Seems like the president found a business opportunity and gave internal orders to rent out the network infrastructure to 'ethically sourced' providers :^) Jokes aside, might be some infected IoT crap.

I buy and use residential proxies, though.

Residential proxies are a very important part of the internet, they allow scraping for archiving, automation and can be used for extra anonymity.

While they have grown a bit too much, they are a natural response to the absurd amount of effort every website is pouring into anti-scraping tech.
