    If you're the Qatari royal family, you can just buy the whole white house instead, should you happen to have an extra gaudily furnished 747-800 laying around.

      I wonder if I can colo my private email server under the new ballroom?

      This couldn't be far from the truth. USA is not for sale, she is owned by interests that will dethrone anyone who would consider this.

        What about the naming rights though?

    I'd like to know how to reliably detect whether a machine serves as a residential proxy. For example, ipinfo.io flags any ProtonVPN connection from my machine as residential proxy but how do I know it's not a false positive?

      It sounds like they paid for proxy services, and phoned home using them, in order to learn from which IPs their requests were proxies through.

      ASN lookups are so easy...Therefore, detecting VPNs are. Residentials proxies are hard, mobile proxies are harder.
