I've been looking into the scraping services that offer rotating IPs and proxies. They are all very vague about their provenance. Based on looking up IPs that appear in my logs, am prepared to bet most are actually compromised consumer devices.

This makes blocking by netblock a bit tricky if you don't want a lot of collateral damage.

There was an unscrupulous VPN operator that would use their VPN clients as outbound hosts for other VPN customers. I can’t recall the name.
