It lists VPN, Proxy, Tor, etc. Presumably a minus sign in a circle means you don't have the thing?
replyI had same confusion for a second but the html does clear it up: yes, it means you don't have the thing.

</li>Freaky. They have a page explaining the concept (https://ipinfo.io/data/residential-proxy); when I checked it, there was a FOUC showing a full-screen, stretched image of what I think was Dario Amodei's face.
replyNeat. I almost said "surely this will only detect if your internet connection is itself being routed through a residential proxy", and then I realised that's effectively the same thing!
replyAFAIU that tells you if your access to ipinfo.io is thru a residential proxy, not if somebody else is using a residential proxy on your network.
replyIt's effectively the same thing. If a residential proxy is running on your network, your IP will soon become known as a residential proxy exit.
replyIt detects if your IP is a residential proxy, not if you are using a residential proxy. From the perspective of the outside Internet, they are the same thing, the only one who cares about the difference is you.
