some sites are blocked like stripe and stuff idk if its cuz the proxy is hella slow or sum. i bought 2 different proxies off of iproyal on different accoutns (both residential)
 
Enhanced antifraud of sites detects open ports of residential proxies (socks5) and blocks access to accounts or rejects card payments.
Another possible reason for blocking is a dirty IP address (the set page load limit has been exhausted, it is blacklisted, it is in a fraudulent database or spam block). Before working, be sure to check the cleanliness of the IP address.
Solution: Change the proxy provider or do not use a proxy if you have any device running on iOS.
 
When using proxies, especially residential ones like those provided by IPRoyal, there are several reasons why certain sites might be blocked or inaccessible. Here are some common reasons and potential solutions:

1. Proxy Speed and Performance​

  • Slow Proxies: If your proxy is slow, it can lead to timeouts or incomplete page loads, making it seem like the site is blocked. Residential proxies can sometimes be slower than datacenter proxies because they route traffic through real devices.
    • Solution: Test the speed of your proxies using tools like speedtest.net or similar services. If the speed is consistently slow, consider upgrading to a higher-tier plan or switching providers.

2. IP Reputation​

  • Blacklisted IPs: Some websites block traffic from IP addresses that have been flagged for suspicious activity. Residential proxies, while generally more reliable, can still be blacklisted if they were previously used for malicious activities.
    • Solution: Rotate your IP addresses frequently. Most proxy providers offer features to automatically rotate IPs. You can also manually request a new IP if you suspect the current one is blacklisted.

3. Geolocation Restrictions​

  • Region-Specific Blocks: Certain websites restrict access based on geographic locations. If your proxy IP is from a region that the website doesn't serve, you may encounter blocks.
    • Solution: Ensure that the proxy you're using is from a region supported by the website. Many proxy services allow you to choose the country or region of the IP address.

4. Website's Anti-Scraping Measures​

  • Advanced Detection Systems: Websites like Stripe, banks, and other financial services employ sophisticated anti-bot and anti-scraping technologies to detect and block proxy traffic.
    • Solution: Use headers and user-agent strings that mimic legitimate browsers. Avoid making too many requests in a short period, as this can trigger rate-limiting or blocking mechanisms.

5. Proxy Configuration Issues​

  • Incorrect Setup: Misconfigurations in your proxy settings can lead to blocked or restricted access.
    • Solution: Double-check your proxy setup. Ensure that the proxy is correctly configured in your browser, application, or script. Refer to IPRoyal’s documentation for guidance.

6. Provider-Side Restrictions​

  • Terms of Service: Some proxy providers impose restrictions on accessing certain types of websites, especially those related to finance, banking, or sensitive data.
    • Solution: Review IPRoyal’s terms of service to see if there are any restrictions on accessing specific sites. If necessary, contact their support team for clarification.

7. Concurrent Usage​

  • Shared IPs: If you’re using shared residential proxies, other users on the same IP might engage in activities that get the IP blocked.
    • Solution: Consider upgrading to dedicated residential proxies if you find that shared IPs are frequently blocked.

Steps to Troubleshoot:​

  1. Test with Different IPs: Try accessing the blocked site with different proxy IPs to determine if the issue is IP-specific.
  2. Check Logs: Look at any error messages or logs provided by the website or your proxy service to understand why access might be denied.
  3. Contact Support: Reach out to IPRoyal’s customer support with details about the blocked sites and any error messages you receive. They may be able to provide specific insights or solutions.

Conclusion​

Blocked access through proxies can result from a combination of factors including speed, reputation, geolocation, website policies, and configuration issues. By systematically troubleshooting these areas, you should be able to identify and resolve the problem. If issues persist, contacting your proxy provider’s support team is often the best course of action.
 
If some websites (like Stripe) are blocked while using IPRoyal's residential proxies, there are a few possible reasons:

1. Proxy IP Reputation Issues​

  • Many high-security sites (e.g., Stripe, PayPal, banking sites) block known proxy/VPN IP ranges.
  • Even though IPRoyal provides residential IPs, some may have been flagged due to past abuse.

2. Geolocation Restrictions​

  • Some sites restrict access based on the proxy's country. If your proxy is from a region that the site blocks, you’ll be denied access.

3. ISP or Carrier Restrictions​

  • Some residential ISPs (especially mobile or less reputable ones) are blacklisted by certain websites.

4. Proxy Server Misconfiguration​

  • Slow speeds could indicate network issues, but if sites are fully blocked, the proxy IP itself might be banned.

5. HTTP vs. SOCKS5 Proxy Settings​

  • Some sites may detect and block traffic from certain proxy protocols. Try switching between HTTP/SOCKS5 if IPRoyal supports both.

How to Fix?​

✅ Try different exit locations (if IPRoyal allows switching countries).
✅ Use a fresh IP (some providers rotate IPs — check if IPRoyal offers this).
✅ Test without the proxy to confirm the issue is proxy-related.
✅ Contact IPRoyal support — they may provide cleaner IPs or suggest a solution.

If Stripe and similar sites are critical for your use case, you might need a dedicated residential proxy or a 4G mobile proxy (less likely to be flagged).

Using proxies, especially residential ones, can sometimes lead to issues accessing certain websites. Here are some common reasons why you might encounter blocks when using IPRoyal proxies or any other proxy services:

Reasons for Site Blocking​

  1. IP Reputation:
    • Blacklisting: Some IP addresses may be blacklisted due to previous malicious activity. Websites often block IPs that have been associated with spam, fraud, or abuse.
    • Shared IP Issues: If you're using a shared residential proxy, other users' activities can affect the reputation of the IP address, leading to blocks.
  2. Geographic Restrictions:
    • Some websites restrict access based on geographic location. If the proxy is from a region that is blocked by the website, you won't be able to access it.
  3. Rate Limiting:
    • Websites may block access if they detect too many requests coming from a single IP address within a short time frame. This is common with services like Stripe, which monitor for suspicious activity.
  4. Proxy Detection:
    • Websites use various techniques to detect proxies and may block them accordingly. They can identify certain patterns typical of proxy usage, leading to access denial.
  5. Session Management:
    • Some websites utilize session management that can be disrupted by proxy servers, leading to access issues. If the session is tied to a specific IP address and you switch proxies, you may face blocks.
  6. SSL Certificates and Security:
    • Some secure websites have stringent security measures in place that may block traffic from proxies to prevent potential abuse or security threats.

Solutions to Consider​

  1. Check IP Reputation:
    • Use online tools to check if your proxy IP is blacklisted. If it is, consider switching to another IP or contacting your proxy provider.
  2. Use Dedicated Proxies:
    • Instead of shared residential proxies, consider investing in dedicated proxies, which can offer better performance and less chance of being blocked.
  3. Rotate Proxies:
    • If your service allows it, try rotating your proxies regularly to avoid rate limiting and reduce the chance of being blocked.
  4. Contact Proxy Support:
    • Reach out to IPRoyal's support team to discuss the issues you're facing. They may have specific advice or alternate IP addresses that you can use.
  5. Test Different Locations:
    • If possible, try using proxies from different geographic locations to see if that resolves the access issues.

Final Thoughts​

While using proxies can help with anonymity and bypassing certain geographical restrictions, they also come with their own set of challenges. If you continue to experience issues, it may be beneficial to explore other proxy providers or methods that suit your needs better. If you have further questions or need assistance, feel free to ask!
 
set the same DNS on your vpn
VPN (1.1.1.1)-Proxy (s5, 1.1.1.1)
that worked perfectly, thank you so much. Another question, everytime im setting up my profile im checking my fraudscore etc, on websites like fv.pro, pixelscan scamalytics etc and there is 0 fraudscore most of the times, but still when im trying to search anything on google it shows that they detected suspicious traffic from this device. Is this normal? If no what do i do?
 
The situation you're describing — where your fraud score appears low on tools like fv.pro, pixelscan, scamalytics, etc., but Google still flags your traffic as suspicious — is not uncommon. This discrepancy can occur because different platforms use different methods to detect suspicious activity. Let’s break this down and explore potential solutions.

1. Why Does Google Flag Suspicious Traffic?​

Google uses a variety of signals to detect unusual or suspicious behavior, including:
  • IP Address Reputation: If your IP address has been flagged for malicious activity (e.g., spam, botnets, or previous abuse), Google may block or flag it.
  • Device Fingerprinting: Google analyzes your browser's fingerprint (e.g., user-agent, screen resolution, installed fonts, plugins) to detect anomalies.
  • Behavioral Patterns: Frequent searches, automated queries, or unusual browsing patterns can trigger suspicion.
  • CAPTCHA Triggers: If Google detects abnormal activity (e.g., too many requests in a short time), it may require CAPTCHA verification.
  • Proxy/VPN Usage: Even if your fraud score is low, using a proxy, VPN, or residential IP that was previously abused can raise red flags.

2. Why Does This Happen Even with a Low Fraud Score?​

Tools like fv.pro or scamalytics primarily assess your IP reputation and browser fingerprint based on their own databases. However:
  • Different Databases: Google uses its own proprietary algorithms and databases, which may differ from those used by third-party tools.
  • Contextual Factors: Google considers additional factors, such as your search history, account activity, and device behavior, which are not evaluated by fraud score websites.
  • Dynamic Reputation: An IP address or device that appears "clean" at one moment may become flagged later due to real-time monitoring.

3. How to Fix the Issue​

Here are steps you can take to reduce the likelihood of being flagged by Google:

a) Use a Clean IP Address​

  • Residential IPs: Ensure your residential proxy or IP is clean and not associated with previous abuse.
  • Avoid Datacenter IPs: Datacenter IPs are more likely to be flagged compared to residential IPs.
  • Check IP Reputation: Use tools like ipqualityscore.com or abuseipdb.com to verify your IP's reputation.

b) Optimize Your Browser Fingerprint​

  • Use a Legitimate Browser: Avoid using overly customized or anti-detect browsers unless they are properly configured.
  • Match Common Profiles: Mimic the settings of a typical user (e.g., default fonts, screen resolution, timezone).
  • Disable Suspicious Extensions: Remove any extensions or plugins that might alter your browser's behavior.

c) Avoid Suspicious Behavior​

  • Limit Search Frequency: Avoid making too many searches in a short period.
  • Use Natural Queries: Avoid repetitive or robotic search patterns.
  • Log into Google: Logging into a legitimate Google account can help establish trust.

d) Clear Cookies and Cache​

  • Clear your browser's cookies and cache to ensure no residual data is triggering suspicion.
  • Be cautious: Clearing cookies too frequently can also raise flags.

e) Rotate IPs Carefully​

  • If you’re using proxies, rotate IPs sparingly and ensure each IP is clean before use.
  • Avoid switching IPs mid-session, as this can appear suspicious.

f) Solve CAPTCHAs​

  • If Google presents a CAPTCHA, solve it promptly. This helps demonstrate that you’re a legitimate user.
  • Use services like 2Captcha or Anti-Captcha only if absolutely necessary, but avoid overusing them.

g) Use a Dedicated Device​

  • If possible, use a dedicated device or virtual machine for your activities. This reduces the risk of cross-contamination with other profiles or tools.

4. Additional Tools to Monitor Your Setup​

To further diagnose and optimize your setup, consider using the following tools:
  • FingerprintJS: Analyze your browser fingerprint and ensure it matches a typical user profile.
  • IPVoid: Check your IP against multiple blacklists to ensure it’s not flagged elsewhere.
  • Google Transparency Report: Verify if your IP or domain has been flagged by Google.

5. Is This Normal?​

Yes, it’s relatively normal for Google to flag traffic even if your fraud score is low. Google’s detection mechanisms are highly sophisticated and consider a wide range of factors beyond just IP reputation. The key is to ensure your setup aligns with legitimate user behavior and avoids triggers that could raise suspicion.

6. Conclusion​

If Google consistently detects suspicious traffic from your device, focus on optimizing your IP reputation, browser fingerprint, and behavioral patterns. Start by verifying your IP address and ensuring it’s clean, then adjust your browser settings to mimic a typical user. Finally, avoid behaviors that could be interpreted as automated or malicious.

If the issue persists despite these efforts, feel free to provide more details about your setup (e.g., tools, proxies, devices), and I’ll help you troubleshoot further!
 
The discrepancy between your 0% fraud score on specialized tools (FV.PRO, Pixelscan, Scamalytics) and Google's "suspicious traffic" warning suggests a mismatch in detection methods. Here’s why it happens and how to fix it:

🔍 Why Google Flags You (Despite Clean Fraud Scores)​

  1. Network-Level Red Flags
    • Your ISP/IP may be flagged (even with clean browser fingerprints).
    • Example: Using datacenter proxies/VPNs Google blacklists.
  2. Behavioral Patterns
    • Rapid searches, automation-like behavior (even unintentional).
    • Cookie rejection or strict privacy settings triggering anti-bot systems.
  3. Device/OS Anomalies
    • Virtual machines, emulators, or spoofed hardware IDs.
    • Outdated browser TLS fingerprints.
  4. Google’s Proprietary Signals
    • They track hidden metrics like:
      • Mouse movement entropy
      • CPU usage patterns
      • Canvas/webGL rendering quirks

🛠 How to Troubleshoot​

Step 1: Network Checks​

  • Test your real IP reputation:
    Bash:
    curl https://ipinfo.io/$(curl -s ifconfig.me)/json
    • Look for "hosting": true (bad for Google).
  • Avoid public VPNs/proxies. Use residential proxies (like BrightData) if needed.

Step 2: Browser Hardening​

  • Update Chrome/Edge to latest stable version.
  • Disable extreme privacy extensions (uBlock Origin is fine, but Privacy Badger may trigger flags).
  • Allow 3rd-party cookies for google.com (temporarily).

Step 3: Behavioral Adjustments​

  • Add human-like delays (2-5 sec between actions).
  • Use realistic mouse movements (tools like Humanize automate this).

Step 4: Advanced Fixes​

  • Override WebGL Vendor (if virtualized):
    JavaScript:
    // Chrome console
    const script = document.createElement('script');
    script.src = 'https://gitcdn.link/repo/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/master/dist/cb.js';
    document.head.appendChild(script);
  • Spoof GPU Renderer (for VMs):
    Launch Chrome with:
    Bash:
    chrome.exe --use-gl=angle --use-angle=gl

✅ Final Checklist​

  1. Whitelist your IP (if possible).
  2. Use a clean Chrome profile with no extensions.
  3. Verify your timezone matches your IP location.
  4. Test with:

If issues persist, Google may have hard-banned your hardware/network stack. In that case:
  • Try a different physical device (e.g., smartphone on cellular data).
  • Contact Google Support (unlikely to help, but worth trying).

Why Google Detects Suspicious Traffic Despite Low Fraud Scores​

It can be frustrating when Google flags your device for "suspicious traffic" even though tools like FraudScore, Pixelscan, or Scamalytics show a low fraud score. This situation is not uncommon and can happen for several reasons. Let’s break it down:

1. Google's Detection Systems Are Independent​

Google uses its own proprietary algorithms and systems to detect suspicious traffic. These systems analyze a wide range of factors, including:
  • IP address reputation: If your IP address has been flagged for unusual activity (e.g., multiple automated requests or being part of a VPN/proxy network), Google may consider it suspicious.
  • User-agent anomalies: If your browser's user-agent string (which identifies your browser and operating system) appears unusual or inconsistent, it might trigger Google's systems.
  • Behavioral patterns: Rapid searches, automated queries, or unusual browsing behavior can also raise red flags.
Even if external tools like FraudScore or Pixelscan show no issues, Google's systems may still detect something unusual based on their own criteria.

2. Use of VPNs, Proxies, or Shared IPs​

If you're using a VPN, proxy, or a shared IP address, this could be a major factor. Many people use these tools for privacy, but they can also be associated with suspicious activity because:
  • VPNs and proxies often share IP addresses among multiple users, and if one user engages in suspicious behavior, the entire IP can be flagged.
  • Some VPNs or proxies are known to be used by bots or fraudsters, which can lead to their IP ranges being blacklisted.

3. Browser or Device Fingerprinting​

Google and other platforms use advanced fingerprinting techniques to identify devices. If your device setup appears unusual (e.g., mismatched time zones, disabled cookies, or spoofed browser settings), it might trigger suspicion.

4. Automated or High-Frequency Searches​

If you’re performing searches at a high frequency or using automated tools/scripts to interact with Google, this can easily trigger their "suspicious traffic" detection systems. Even legitimate users can accidentally trigger this if their browsing behavior mimics that of bots.

What Can You Do to Fix This?​

Here are some steps you can take to reduce the likelihood of being flagged:
  1. Avoid VPNs or Proxies: If possible, use your real IP address instead of a VPN or proxy. If privacy is a concern, choose a reputable VPN with a clean IP reputation.
  2. Check Your IP Reputation: Use tools like Scamalytics or similar services to check if your IP address has been flagged. If it has, consider contacting your ISP for a new IP address.
  3. Clear Browser Data: Clear your cookies, cache, and browsing history. Sometimes, corrupted or outdated data can cause issues.
  4. Enable Cookies and JavaScript: Ensure that cookies and JavaScript are enabled in your browser, as disabling them can make your traffic appear suspicious.
  5. Avoid Automated Tools: If you’re using any scripts or tools to automate searches, stop using them, as they can trigger Google's detection systems.
  6. Use a Different Network: If the issue persists, try switching to a different network (e.g., mobile data instead of Wi-Fi) to see if the problem is related to your current IP address.
  7. Contact Google Support: If none of the above works, you can try reaching out to Google Support to explain the issue and request assistance.

Conclusion​

While tools like FraudScore and Pixelscan are helpful for assessing your fraud risk, they don’t account for Google’s proprietary detection systems. By addressing potential issues with your IP address, browser setup, and browsing behavior, you can reduce the likelihood of being flagged for suspicious traffic. If the problem persists, switching networks or contacting Google Support may be necessary.
