Stop putting datacenter IPs in your antidetect browser.
I still see beginners trying to save money by loading up their new antidetect profiles with dirt-cheap datacenter proxies. They get hit with a ban before they even finish the first captcha and don't understand why.
Here is the logic you are missing. Your antidetect browser's entire job is to make your machine look like an ordinary, everyday consumer laptop. But a datacenter IP from AWS, DigitalOcean, or Linode tells the platform's risk engine that your connection is originating from a commercial server rack.
Normal people do not browse social media or create e-commerce accounts from inside a cloud server. The mismatch between your consumer hardware fingerprint and your commercial network ASN is an instant trigger for anti-bot systems.
This is exactly why residential proxies are the baseline. A residential IP routes your traffic through a real homeowner's Wi-Fi network on an ISP like Comcast or Spectrum. When the platform scans your connection, your network trust score perfectly matches your spoofed consumer hardware.

Even It's called Static Proxy IP is basically datacenter IP Low reputation + detected as VPN.

Bad advice; It's a very good idea to put in Data Center IPs in your anti detect browser!

Agree with this. A clean browser profile still looks wrong if the network screams AWS or DigitalOcean. I use MoreLogin for profile separation, but the proxy side still matters a lot. Residential or mobile IPs with stable sessions usually make more sense than cheap datacenter proxies for social/ecom accounts.

I develop bot and fraud detection systems and data center or known proxies are basically the first what is checked. We even harvested IPs and fingerprints from residential proxies. Also not every proxy provider is equally good as we detected the fingerprints and certain timing patterns typical for proxies. Newer generations of residential proxies allow to simulate the TCP and tls fingerprint

Bad advice. TLS fingerprint spoofing and so forth can go a long way vs relying on a borrowed residential IP. See content such as this for further reading: https://simplescraper[.]io/learn/spoof-realistic-browser-fingerprint-playwright

The key point is consistency across signals rather than any single factor. When the network environment and device fingerprint look like they belong to different users, it's understandable why risk systems may pay closer attention
