I keep seeing great AdScore case studies here, so I wanted to ask the community directly: how are you actually handling junk/bot/proxy traffic right now?

A few things I'm trying to understand:

• Do you rely on your tracker's built-in filters, a paid service (AdScore, IPQS, etc.), or your own IP/VPN lists?
• How much of your spend do you reckon still leaks to VPN/proxy/datacenter clicks?
• Where do the current tools fall short for you — price, accuracy, setup, or something else?

Trying to get a real-world picture beyond the marketing claims. What's working for you in 2026?
