Brand protection

Brand protection with
carrier-grade stealth

Monitor marketplaces, classifieds and social channels for trademark abuse, counterfeit distribution and grey-market listings — without tipping off the networks you’re watching.

Counterfeit networks know they’re being watched

The serious counterfeit operations have built their own anti-monitoring defences. They rotate listings across seller accounts, encode trademarks in images rather than text to evade keyword search, and serve cloaked results to IPs that look like monitoring tools. If your enforcement team scans from datacenter IPs, you are seeing a curated, sanitized version of the problem — and your takedown rate suffers accordingly.

Mobile IPs flip that asymmetry. Your scans blend into regular shopper traffic, the listings you see are the listings a prospective buyer sees, and the evidence you collect reflects what’s actually available for sale to your customers.

Built-in advantages for enforcement teams

Un-flagged IP class

Counterfeit networks rarely have bespoke defences against real mobile traffic — it’s where their actual buyers live.

Carrier rotation

Spread scans across Orange, SFR, Bouygues, Free (and MCI for Iran) to diversify the monitoring footprint.

Sticky for deep dives

Keep the same IP across a full evidence-collection session — listing details, seller profile, review history, messaging.

GDPR-aligned

EU-hosted infrastructure, no session-level traffic logs beyond what’s required for billing and abuse handling.

Brand protection FAQ

Why do counterfeit sellers detect monitoring traffic?+

Sophisticated counterfeit networks run their own anti-monitoring counter-measures. They profile incoming traffic for datacenter ASNs, repeated patterns, and tell-tale user-agents. When they spot a monitor, they cloak or remove the listing temporarily, making it very difficult for enforcement teams to collect evidence. Mobile IPs blend into regular shopper traffic and bypass most of these tricks.

Can I monitor Instagram and social channels?+

Social platforms are the hardest surfaces to monitor — aggressive anti-bot stacks, tight session handling, frequent token rotation. Mobile proxies help materially with the IP layer, but you’ll still need realistic device fingerprints and careful pacing. The combination of our dedicated SIMs and sticky 24-hour sessions is what works in practice. Subject to our AUP.

What's the workflow for marketplace enforcement?+

Typical flow: (1) scan marketplaces for listings matching your trademark or product signatures, (2) confirm counterfeit status by fetching listing details and seller info, (3) collect legally admissible evidence (screenshots, metadata, timestamps), (4) submit takedown via the marketplace’s brand registry. Mobile proxies help most in steps 1–3, where stealth is the difference between complete data and redacted stubs.

Do you support simultaneous monitoring across many marketplaces?+

Yes — our Pro and Enterprise plans let you run multiple dedicated proxies in parallel, each assigned to a specific target or region. Carrier diversity (Orange, SFR, Bouygues, Free in France; MCI in Iran) lets you spread the footprint across independent IP pools so no single block gets overused.

Can this replace a commercial brand protection platform?+

No — we provide the connectivity layer, not the policy engine. Commercial platforms (Red Points, Corsearch, MarkMonitor, BrandShield) sit on top of proxies like ours. If you’re building your own tooling or your vendor supports bring-your-own-proxy, ProxyGlide drops in cleanly.
