| Proxy or VPN path | Cases that care more about relays, obfuscation, and path changes | Shared exits, ports, risk score, and relay role | It is easy to confuse it with enterprise egress or edge platforms | Medium | Best as the relay-role sample |
| CDN, WAF, or edge platform | Website fronting, caching, protection, and Anycast edge cases | HTTP headers, certificates, ASN, and service purpose | It is often misread as a proxy or generic shared exit | Medium | Best as the edge-service sample |
| Ordinary cloud or hosting IP | Servers, VPS, cloud instances, and hosting networks | ASN, WHOIS, service role, and resource model | It does not automatically equal proxy or CDN | Low-medium | Best as the infrastructure control sample |
