RS Score: archived proxy assessments

RS Score contains stored editorial assessments from the researched.xyz catalog. They describe individual parameters in earlier records; they do not establish current provider quality.

These records have no published measurement date, IP sample, plan, connection location or reproducible protocol. A price check date belongs to the plan, not to RS Score.

Proxy Types

This archived scale describes three proxy types:

  • Static — services with a fixed address under the plan’s terms. Static IPs can belong to a data center or an access network; compare type, country, rental duration and private or shared access.
  • Mobile — addresses of mobile network operators. Rotation options, port count, traffic limits and sticky sessions depend on the individual plan.
  • Residential — addresses from access networks offered by a provider. These catalog plans are usually billed by traffic; rotation and sticky-session duration depend on the plan. Address type alone does not guarantee compatibility with a target site.

The archived scale lists 7 criteria for static and residential proxies and 5 for mobile proxies. The sections below describe stored criteria; they do not claim new measurements.

The catalog stores an overall score on a scale of up to 90. It is not recalculated here; no published protocol allows that total to be reproduced from original measurements.

ImportantDo not directly compare different proxy types: conditions and archived scales differ. A high score does not guarantee site access, freedom from blocks or stability of a future order.

The points below describe an archived scale, not universal quality thresholds. For a purchase, prioritize product type, country, minimum order and compatibility with your workload.

Evaluation Criteria

1. Fraud Score

The Fraud Score field stores an IP risk assessment. Tool information: IPQualityScore. A tool link does not establish the date or origin of a stored measurement.

Static

  • ≤15 — 10 pts (High Trust)
  • ≤30 — 7 pts
  • ≤50 — 4 pts (Suspicious)
  • ≤75 — 2 pts
  • >75 — 1 pt (High Risk)

Residential

  • ≤15 — 10 pts
  • ≤45 — 7 pts
  • ≤65 — 4 pts
  • >65 — 1 pt

The archive uses different thresholds for different types. They do not establish a clean reputation for every address on the same plan.

Mobile check: This criterion is not used in the archived mobile scale.

2. Risk Score

The catalog has a Risk Score field. The earlier description named Pixelscan, but the original report and test version are not retained; the number’s precise origin is unconfirmed.
  • The stored Risk Score cannot establish traffic behavior or guarantee anonymity; that would require the original report and test conditions.

Static

  • ≤15 — 10 pts
  • ≤30 — 8 pts
  • ≤50 — 5 pts
  • ≤75 — 2 pts
  • >75 — 1 pt

Residential

  • ≤15 — 10 pts
  • ≤35 — 7 pts
  • ≤65 — 4 pts
  • >65 — 1 pt

The different thresholds describe the archived scale; they do not replace checking a specific IP.

Mobile check: This criterion is not used in the archived mobile scale.

3. DNS Leaks

DNS Leaks stores an archived assessment. DNSLeakTest shows the DNS servers used; matching countries alone do not prove the absence of a leak. Browser and DNS configuration also affect the result.
  • No leak (DNS matches IP country) — 10 pts
  • Leak (DNS of another country) — 6 pts (Average)
  • Critical leak (Real IP visible) — 0 pts

4. Network Type Reliability

The archived Network Reliability field assesses network type, not uptime. IPinfo provides network information; this classification does not measure connection availability.
  • ISP — an access provider network.
  • Residential — the archived scale’s residential-access label.
  • Hosting — data-center or cloud infrastructure.
  • Business — a corporate network.
  • Edu — an education network.

Static

  • ISP — 10 pts (Looks like a home user)
  • Residential — 9 pts
  • Business — 7 pts
  • Edu — 6 pts
  • Hosting — 5 pts

Residential

  • ISP — 10 pts
  • Business — 7 pts
  • Hosting — 4 pts (Suspicious for residential)

Mobile check

  • ISP/Mobile — 10 pts
  • Residential — 9 pts
  • Hosting / Business / Edu — 1 pt

Network type is one characteristic of an IP. It does not determine trust across all sites or provider reliability.

5. Ping

Ping is latency in milliseconds. The earlier description named Speedtest; without connection location, server and date, a stored number cannot predict latency for your order.
  • Below 50 ms — 10 points
  • From 50 to 100 ms — 7 points
  • Above 100 ms — 4 points

6. MTU: packet size

The field previously labelled “Packet Loss” stores MTU values in bytes, such as 1500. BrowserLeaks shows MTU under TCP/IP Fingerprint. This is not a packet-loss percentage or a stability measurement. Stored values and archived points are preserved without recalculation.

Static

Archived thresholds for static proxies, in bytes. A value other than 1500 does not establish a fault: size depends on the network path and tunnels.

  • Exactly 1500 bytes — 10 points
  • Below 1500 — 4 points
  • Above 1500 — 2 points

Residential

Archived thresholds for residential proxies, in bytes. MTU alone cannot establish packet loss.

  • From 1492 to 1500 bytes — 10 points
  • Other values — 4 points

Mobile check

  • From 1400 to 1460 bytes — 10 points
  • From 1461 to 1500 bytes — 9 points
  • Outside these ranges — 4 points

7. Download Speed

Speed stores a download-throughput assessment. The earlier description named Speedtest; without server, connection location and sample, it cannot promise speed across a provider’s IPs.

Static

  • ≥70 Mbps — 10 pts
  • 50–69.9 — 9 pts
  • 30–49.9 — 7 pts
  • 20–29.9 — 6 pts
  • 15–19.9 — 5 pts
  • 10–14.9 — 3 pts
  • 5.1–9.9 — 4 pts
  • ≤5 — 1 pt

Residential

  • ≥20 Mbps — 10 pts
  • ≥10 Mbps — 7 pts
  • ≥5 Mbps — 4 pts
  • <5 Mbps — 2 pts

Mobile check

  • ≥15 Mbps — 10 pts
  • ≥5 Mbps — 5 pts
  • <5 Mbps — 2 pts
  • <2.0 — 2 pts

How to use the assessments when choosing

For static proxies, compare country, IPv4/IPv6, private or shared access, duration and minimum quantity first. An archived RS Score does not establish which current plan is better.
For residential proxies, compare the price of the same traffic volume, minimum package, expiry and sticky-session duration. An archived score does not predict the quality of a particular session.
For mobile proxies, compare country and operator, rotation terms, port count and traffic limits. Check compatibility before a large order if the provider offers a suitable trial.
