Invalid traffic (IVT) is draining billions from advertising budgets as bots, VPNs, and residential proxies distort CPMs, attribution, and ROI. IPinfo prevents these losses by identifying non-human traffic at the IP level using continuously validated, measurement-based IP intelligence. With real-time proxy/VPN detection, active IPv6/IPv4 validation, and high-accuracy enrichment, platforms can block IVT before it enters auctions—leading to cleaner supply, better performance, and stronger ROI.
