How to check a proxy for cleanliness before launching an ad

Before launching ads it is important to check proxy ban status because IP reputation directly affects account stability. Checking proxy clean score helps determine whether the IP address was previously used for spam or suspicious activity.

Even stable advertising accounts may get restricted when using proxies with a bad history. That is why proxy validation should be performed before every advertising launch.

The most stable results are usually achieved with mobile proxies for Facebook Ads, especially when working with Facebook Business Managers and advertising accounts. Using trusted Facebook farmed accounts also reduces IP-related risks.

Spam Databases and ASN

The first step is checking IP reputation using spam databases and ASN information.

What Spam Databases Show

• spam activity history;
• mass registrations;
• user complaints;
• suspicious activity.

Why ASN Matters

ASN identifies the network provider. Datacenter IP ranges usually carry higher risk.

• hosting ASN – high risk;
• mobile ASN – low risk;
• corporate ASN – medium risk;
• residential ASN – low risk.

Graph API Edge Status

The second step is checking how Meta reacts to the IP address.

Signs of Risky IP

• frequent identity checks;
• security warnings;
• login verification requests;
• account restrictions.

If security checks appear frequently, the proxy should be replaced.

Testing login stability before launching ads is recommended.

Speed and Latency

Connection quality directly affects advertising stability.

Recommended Parameters

• ping below 150 ms;
• stable connection;
• minimal disconnects;
• one IP per account.

Maintaining one account per IP is critical. Learn more in IP rotation guide.

Regular proxy clean score checks significantly reduce advertising risks.
