Detection approach
The HTTP Beacon and out-of-band HTTPS Netprobe requests resolved through different IP addresses. This confirms multi-routing tunnels, residential proxy rotation, or active gateway hopping.
How this helps detect bots
Collect this signal alongside session context, request metadata, and other independent indicators. A single anomaly is a lead, not a verdict; corroborating anomalies make automated traffic more likely.
Legitimate traffic to consider
Mobile users on cellular networks where IP addresses rotate dynamically between different gateway nodes during active browsing.
