I’ve set up a Wireguard VPN on a VPS (like Digital Ocean), but the IP shows up as a datacenter address. This leads to issues like getting marked as “VPN Blocked” on some services like Steam game servers.
Would using a residential IP proxy help disguise the traffic enough? Are there potential drawbacks or better options I should consider? I understand the risks involved, just exploring the technical possibilities here.
What do you mean “a residential IP proxy”? I don’t know if such service exists.
IPs show up as residential or datacenter depending on what peeringdb and RIRs say.
You can route traffic to your home server and then send back the traffic to the vps server. Keep in mind that you have to deal with overhead and the internet speed will not be optimal. Take a look at this one mistborn, which has a built in wireguard server management, and you have the ability to use your home server as a Gateway.

I just want to mask the ISP that the VPS using, if that is possible? As I think what is what is being detected whenever I try to join game servers using that VPN.
OR
Do you know any other alternatives to mask VPS data? // Is it even possible to do this?
Great I’ll look more into it, thank you. Kinda looking for a self made, from what ResiVPN offers.
That doesn’t help with OPs problem. If the exit node is a datacenter using a datacenter IP, he is going to have the same result
Edit: sorry for the multiple replies, reddit bugged
IE. I read somewhere on where you can push the VPS Traffic through that Proxy to mask the VPS ip? Is this possible? and if so, what is the name to this, so I can look at tutorials on how to do this.
Hi, did you happen to try this service?
I see it’s only a proxy service and no VPN, so I’m concerned about dns leaks and such.
I’ll try looking more into proxy use, I’m just scared it’s gonna leak my main ip to the server.
