Hong Kong S.A.R., 17th Mar 2026 - Counterfeit goods are a multi-billion dollar problem for global retail brands. When a company discovers a website selling fake versions of their products, their legal team immediately moves to shut it down. However, the criminals running these counterfeit operations have gotten smart. If they detect a corporate IP address visiting their site, they will redirect the lawyer to a blank page or a legitimate looking blog.

To catch these bad actors, corporate legal teams have to investigate anonymously. They do this using Swiftproxy.

Instead of browsing from their corporate headquarters, investigators route their internet traffic through Swiftproxy’s residential network. To the counterfeit website, the investigator just looks like a regular shopper browsing from a home computer in Brazil, Germany, or the United States. The website loads normally, displaying the fake goods and giving the legal team the evidence they need to issue a takedown notice.

Because Swiftproxy offers IPs in over 195 countries, brand protection software can automatically scan global marketplaces around the clock. The high 99.89 percent uptime ensures these automated sweeps do not fail mid-search. It is an essential tool for any company serious about defending its intellectual property on the modern internet.
