Eric, This is a total guess: There has been several takedowns of large residential proxy networks recently which may motivated security vendors to be more aggressive in their identification of known proxy hosts. Some of these proxy networks are more malicious than others that will force websites/shops/banks to deny access to IPs idenitfied to be part of these proxies as well. Thanks, Scott

We've started accelerating our migration to our ARIN space, but it's still odd why it's all of a sudden.
Have some of the folks sitting behind it I’ll-advisedly signed up, or been involuntarily subsumed into, some of the burgeoning residential proxy services which are being leveraged by spammers, phishers, credential stuffers, DDoSers, et. al.?
There’s a growth in awareness of the threats they represent; & there are several sessions on this topic at the upcoming NANOG conference.
