How StatesideIP gets its residential and mobile IPs, what it asks of partner networks, and the limits of what it can check by itself.

**Quick answer — Where do StatesideIP's US IPs come from?**

**StatesideIP**'s US IPs come from established partner networks: StatesideIP resells their residential and 4G/5G mobile bandwidth, from $0.52/GB as of October 2026. StatesideIP sets requirements for partners, including no botnet traffic, but it cannot audit every device itself. No KYC — no ID, no selfie, no documents. Pay in crypto, under an [Acceptable Use Policy](https://statesideip.com/acceptable-use/).

## Does StatesideIP run its own residential network?

No: StatesideIP resells bandwidth from established partner networks and does not run its own network of residential devices. Recruiting device owners, often through apps and SDKs, is left to those partners. StatesideIP adds accounts, the crypto checkout, the targeting syntax, support and abuse handling. It does not publish partner names; it publishes the rules it sets for partners and the limits of its checks.

## What does StatesideIP require from its partner networks?

StatesideIP buys only from partner networks that accept the six rules below. These are StatesideIP's purchasing requirements, not facts it has checked on every device.

1. **Device-owner agreement:** bandwidth only from devices whose owners agreed to share it and can stop.
2. **No compromised devices:** no traffic from malware, botnets or hijacked devices.
3. **No seized or disrupted supply:** no resold exits from networks such as NetNut or IPIDEA.
4. **Real carrier SIMs:** mobile ports run on SIMs from the named US and Canadian carriers.
5. **Target blocking:** partners support the StatesideIP block list.
6. **Abuse cooperation:** partners act on forwarded abuse reports and announce withdrawn IP ranges.

StatesideIP's policy is to stop buying from a partner once it learns that the partner broke these rules.

## What can StatesideIP not verify by itself?

StatesideIP cannot inspect the devices behind partner IPs, so some sourcing questions stay open for any reseller, StatesideIP included:

- whether each device owner fully understood the app or SDK terms they accepted;
- whether an IP sat in a botnet or another proxy pool before it joined a partner network;
- whether a partner buys part of its own supply from other networks;
- where each IP geolocation database places a given IP.

Instead, StatesideIP reviews abuse reports by IP range, keeps its target blocks on every product and drops partners that break its rules.

## Why did the NetNut seizure make sourcing a buyer's question?

As of October 2026, the public record on NetNut says:

- NetNut's domains were seized by the FBI and IRS-CI on July 2, 2026. The action was tied to the Popa botnet of "at least two million" compromised devices.
- Google saw 316 threat-actor clusters on suspected NetNut exits in one June 2026 week.
- netnut.io now reads "Seized by the Federal Bureau of Investigation".
- Spur found residential-proxy SDKs in 42% of LG webOS apps and in more than 25% of Samsung Tizen apps.

Layer3 Intel counted 32.96 million IPv4 addresses on NetNut in the 30 days before it went dark on July 4. Of these, 16.90 million (51.27%) reappeared on other proxy networks within 14 days, and so did 78.8% of the freshest IPs. A seizure does not remove the devices, so their IPs can move to other networks.

## What did Google find in the IPIDEA network?

Google announced on January 28, 2026 that it had disrupted the IPIDEA residential proxy network. Over 550 threat groups used IPIDEA exit nodes in one 7-day window, according to Google's threat intelligence team. The same post names 13 proxy brands linked to IPIDEA. StatesideIP does not repeat that list; read it at the source before you choose any provider.

## How can I check any proxy provider's sourcing?

Ask seven questions before you buy residential or mobile proxies from any provider, StatesideIP included:

1. **Written statement:** does it say in writing where its residential IPs come from?
2. **Device-owner terms:** can it explain how device owners join and leave?
3. **NetNut or IPIDEA links:** does it appear in the NetNut reports or in Google's IPIDEA post?
4. **Price floor:** is it far below the market? Proxyway describes a grey market "where a gigabyte can cost $0.30 or even less".
5. **Blocked targets:** does it block banking, government and payment portals, and SMTP ports?
6. **Abuse contact:** is there an abuse address with a stated response time?
7. **Acceptable use:** does a public AUP say what happens to abusers?

### How does StatesideIP answer its own checklist?

| Check | StatesideIP's answer |
| --- | --- |
| Written statement | Yes: established partner networks; names not published |
| Device-owner terms | Required of partners; not verified device by device |
| NetNut or IPIDEA links | Neither network is a current supplier; an IP may still have passed through one of them in the past |
| Price floor | Lowest tier $0.52/GB, set above the grey-market level Proxyway describes; see the [pricing page](https://statesideip.com/pricing/) |
| Blocked targets | Yes: banking, government and payment portals, plus SMTP ports |
| Abuse contact | Yes: abuse@statesideip.com |
| Acceptable use | Yes: [Acceptable Use Policy](https://statesideip.com/acceptable-use/), with termination for abuse |

## How does StatesideIP handle abuse reports about its IPs?

StatesideIP handles abuse reports at abuse@statesideip.com. Abuse reports are reviewed by a person, and confirmed abuse leads to suspension. It suspends accounts that break the Acceptable Use Policy, and forwards a report to the partner network when an IP range itself is the problem. The [contact page](https://statesideip.com/contact/) lists what a report should contain.

## IP sourcing: frequently asked questions

### Who are StatesideIP's partner networks?

StatesideIP does not publish the names of its partner networks. It publishes the six rules it sets for them instead. For a compliance review, write to support@statesideip.com. StatesideIP answers sourcing questions by email, but it keeps the names of its partners private.

### Can StatesideIP guarantee the history of every IP?

No. StatesideIP cannot see the devices behind partner IPs, so it cannot guarantee that an IP never sat in a botnet or another proxy pool. Layer3 Intel found that 51.27% of the NetNut IPs it tracked reappeared on other proxy networks within 14 days. StatesideIP relies on partner rules, abuse reports and target blocking instead.

### Did StatesideIP ever buy from NetNut?

NetNut is not a StatesideIP supplier; its domains were seized on July 2, 2026. About half of NetNut's IPs moved to other proxy networks within 14 days. So StatesideIP cannot rule out that a given IP once appeared on NetNut. The [NetNut alternative page](https://statesideip.com/alternatives/netnut/) covers the seizure and how to switch.

### Are StatesideIP's mobile ports on real carrier SIMs?

Yes. Each dedicated port is a 4G/5G modem with a carrier SIM. US carriers: T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon. Canadian carriers: Rogers, Bell and TELUS. You can check the network yourself. RIPEstat lists T-Mobile USA as AS21928, AT&T Mobility as AS20057 and Verizon's Cellco as AS22394 and AS6167. A lookup on your port's exit IP shows its network.

### Why does StatesideIP not publish its pool size?

StatesideIP publishes only figures it has measured or confirmed, and it has no verified pool count from its partners yet. Proxyway lists advertised US pools of 11M for Oxylabs and 7.1M for Decodo (updated 2026-03-16), but those are vendor claims. Test your own targets on a small plan instead.

### What happens when someone abuses a StatesideIP IP?

The account behind the abuse is suspended or terminated, and accounts closed for abuse get no refund. Reports go to abuse@statesideip.com. If abuse keeps coming from one partner IP range, StatesideIP asks the partner to withdraw it. The [Acceptable Use Policy](https://statesideip.com/acceptable-use/) lists every prohibited use.
