+{{< release-note date="2026-08-27" title="Residential proxy database now available as part of the GeoIP Anonymous Plus suite">}}
+
+The GeoIP Anonymous Plus suite now includes the
+[GeoIP Residential Proxy database](/geoip/docs/databases/residential-proxy).
+
+This database provides best-in-class detection of residential proxies, which
+have become the primary vehicle for circumventing geofencing restrictions and
+online fraud, as well as dramatically improved detection of VPNs. It helps to
+considerably expand the number of networks detected, reduces false positives,
+and provides metadata that can be used to fine tune proxy-aware decisioning and
+enrich logs.
+
+The GeoIP Residential Proxy database is included with a license for the GeoIP
+Anonymous Plus suite. If you are interested in requesting access to the new
+dataset for your evaluation, please reach out to your Customer Success Manager
+or
+[contact our Enterprise Business team](https://www.maxmind.com/en/solutions/connect-with-a-geoip-expert).
