What is Ethical Sourcing?

Also known as: Consent-Based Sourcing

Obtaining proxy IPs only from informed, consenting peers.

Ethical sourcing means a residential proxy network obtains its IPs only from users who have given informed, opt-in consent — typically via clearly disclosed SDKs or rewards programs — and can opt out at any time. It is the dividing line between legitimate networks and botnet-tainted pools. Aethyn sources residential IPs from consented, KYC-verified partners, which improves both compliance posture and IP reputation.
