How do I find out who my ISP is?

Open a What Is My IP or IP lookup page. It shows the organisation and ASN that announce your public IP, which is your ISP or, through a proxy, the proxy IP's ISP.

Can my ISP see what I do online?

It sees which IPs you connect to and, unless you use encrypted DNS, which domains you look up. With HTTPS it cannot read page contents. Through a proxy or VPN it sees only the connection to that service.

What is an ISP proxy?

A proxy whose IP is registered to a consumer internet provider but runs on server hardware in a data centre, so it looks like a home connection and stays fast and static.

Is an ISP the same as an ASN?

Not exactly. An ASN identifies one network on the internet; an ISP may run several ASNs, and many ASNs belong to companies that are not ISPs, such as cloud hosts.

Which ISPs do CleanProxies ISP proxies come from?

US carrier ranges from Frontier, AT&T, Comcast, Cox and RCN, plus Telus in Canada. You choose the carrier when you order.

What Is an ISP (Internet Service Provider)?

An ISP (Internet Service Provider) is a company that connects homes, businesses or phones to the internet, such as a cable, fibre, DSL or mobile network. It assigns the public IP address you browse from, and that IP is registered to the ISP's network.

how it works

How ISPs work

An ISP runs the last stretch of cable, fibre or radio to your home or phone, plus the routers that connect its customers to other networks. It holds blocks of IP addresses from a regional registry, announces them under its own ASN, and lends them to customers, usually dynamically.

Large ISPs connect directly to each other and to content networks; smaller ones buy transit from bigger carriers. Either way, each customer's public IP is publicly registered to the ISP, and websites can look that up instantly.

why it matters

Why the ISP matters for proxy users

An IP's ISP is the quickest signal of what kind of visitor you are. A consumer ISP means a household; a hosting provider means a server. That is the whole idea behind ISP proxies: IPs registered to consumer internet providers, hosted on fast server hardware.

CleanProxies static ISP proxies are dedicated IPs on US carrier ranges from Frontier, AT&T, Comcast, Cox and RCN, plus Telus in Canada, with unlimited bandwidth.

ISP: what it means for you

Look up the ISP and ASN of any proxy with the IP lookup tool before you scale up. The name should be a real consumer provider, not a hosting company.
A static ISP proxy keeps one consumer-ISP IP all month; a residential pool changes ISP as the exit IP rotates unless you target one.
Match the ISP to the market: a US account should come from a US provider, not an overseas network.
