1. Telecom & ISP Infrastructure in India
To bypass Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) like Cloudflare, DataDome, and Akamai, proxy traffic must originate from genuine consumer Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs). In India, the dominant residential ISP networks include:
- Reliance Jio (AS55836)
- Bharti Airtel (AS9498)
- Vodafone Idea (AS55410)
- BSNL (AS9829)
Routing requests through these ASNs guarantees that anti-bot algorithms treat your automated scraper as regular domestic household traffic.
