Classifies an IPv4 or IPv6 address by network type — the high-value ad-fraud signal being datacenter traffic posing as residential or living-room (CTV) devices. IP→ASN resolution uses Team Cymru's public service; the ASN is then classified by its registered organization name. It also cross-references the Scry attacker-observation corpus to detect anonymizing EGRESS — the thing a rotating-residential proxy provider is built to hide. A residential- or mobile-looking IP that Scry has observed acting as a hostile actor is a residential-proxy exit node (home devices don't scan honeypots); tor and vpn egress are named outright. It also identifies the proxy COMPANY by network: if the IP's ASN belongs to a known VPN/anonymizing-egress provider (X4BNet's curated list), the verdict is `vpn` and `scry_signals` carries `vpn_provider_asn` — even when Scry has never observed the IP acting. Datacenter and residential proxy verdicts still require observed conduct. PRIVACY: the IP is used for lookup only — never logged, never stored. The Scry cross-reference is likewise a read-only corpus lookup. Inputs: - `ip` (query, required): IPv4 or IPv6 address. Returns: - `ip_type`: datacenter | residential | mobile | unknown. - `confidence`: high | medium | low. - `asn`, `asn_name`: the resolved autonomous system. - `proxy_suspected`: boolean — the IP is an anonymizing egress. - `proxy_type`: tor | vpn | residential_proxy | datacenter_proxy | null. - `scry_signals`: evidence strings from the corpus (actor_class, threat feeds, observation counts); empty when the IP is unknown to Scry. Latency: - Typical: 100-250ms (DNS + a parallel corpus lookup).
