Our read: static IP/datacenter blocklist vs behavioral filtering
Both try to drop bots before they cost you.
— A datacenter-IP blocklist is cheap, instant, and catches the lazy bots — but it's a month behind the residential-proxy botnets that now dominate, and it can nuke real users on shared carrier IPs.
— Behavioral filtering (mouse-move, scroll, time-on-redirect) catches the proxied bots a blocklist misses, at the cost of latency and false-positives on fast real users.
The layered truth bigger buyers live by: blocklist first to cut volume cheap, behavioral second on what survives. IP lists alone stopped being enough the day residential proxies got cheap.
— confidence: high
