Why

Why Ad verification needs a proxy

Ads change with region, device and network. If you only check from an office IP, you cannot see what users in other countries see. Connecting through local home IPs or mobile carrier IPs shows you something close to the real ad.

Repeated requests from one IP

  1. Request 1198.51.100.7
  2. Request 2198.51.100.7
  3. Request 3198.51.100.7

Requests spread across several home IPs

  1. Request 1203.0.113.11
  2. Request 2203.0.113.27
  3. Request 3203.0.113.42
The IP addresses shown are examples.

Example for Python, Playwright. Put your access token where it says YOUR_TOKEN.

Python, Playwright
from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright

with sync_playwright() as p:
    browser = p.chromium.launch(proxy={
        "server": "http://gate.proxysup.com:7777",
        "username": "user-country-us-city-new_york-session-ad1",
        "password": "YOUR_TOKEN",
    })
    page = browser.new_page()
    page.goto("https://example.com")
