Services can differentiate between data centers and residential IP addresses. If your IP is from an ASN owned by digitalocean, it's very likely they are using a proxy or a VPN.
Sure but, if it's between setting up a bunch of laptops for people to proxy through or whatever, or running a VPN server from your home they can use instead, that would be the same IP.
