How Proxy & VPN Detection Works
There is no single definitive signal for proxy or VPN detection. We combine multiple methods:
| Detection Method | How It Works | Reliability |
|---|---|---|
| ASN Classification | IP blocks registered to known VPN providers, datacenters, or proxy services are flagged. | High |
| Tor Exit Node List | The Tor Project publishes a list of exit nodes. We match against this list. | High |
| DNSBL / Abuse Lists | Proxy and open relay lists maintained by the security community. | Medium |
| Reverse DNS Pattern | Hostnames containing "vpn", "proxy", "tor", or datacenter patterns are flagged. | Medium |
| Geolocation Mismatch | When the IP's registered location differs significantly from the resolved timezone or language signals. | Low–Medium |
