Please visit ISO3166-2 Subdivision Code for the information of ISO3166-2 supported. Return the ISO3166-2 region name of the proxy. Return the ISO3166-1 country name of the proxy. Return the ISO3166-1 country code (2-digits) of the proxy. Please visit IP2Location for the list of proxy types supported. Return the proxy information in an array. Returned value:-1 : errors0 : not a proxy1 : a proxy2 : a data center IP address or search engine robot Get the package version (1 to 11 for PX1 to PX11 respectively).Ĭheck whether if an IP address was a proxy. If you don't have an existing API key, you can subscribe for one at the below:īelow are the methods supported in this library. This data file can be downloaded atĪs an alternative, this component can also call the IP2Proxy Web Service. It lookup the proxy IP address from IP2Proxy BIN Data file. If you want to ban clients, you should ban them based on identity (account), and not based on IP address.This D library allows user to query an IP address if it was being used as VPN anonymizer, open proxies, web proxies, Tor exits, data center, web hosting (DCH) range, search engine robots (SES) and residential (RES). Or, in the case of a port scan, it may be even worse for you, eg when the client lives behind a central corporate firewall, the worst of which is when the client comes from behind the central government network firewall pool.įrankly, IP-based bans (or actually, any kind of limiting focusing on people who do not exclusively possess their public IP address: proxy servers, VPNs, NAT devices, etc) have been unrealistic for a long time, and as the IPv4 pools have been getting depleted in many parts of the world, ISPs are putting more and more clients behind large NAT pools (it's this week's news in my country that the largest ISP, a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom, has started handing out private IPv4 addresses as a standard way of business to its customers, and people have to ask the provider explicitly to get a public IP address), so there's even less and less point in doing so. Generating any kind of traffic backwards from an Internet server in response to an incoming client (a port scan, or even a simple ping) is generally frowned upon. So either you'll not catch those you want, or you'll have a larger number of false positives. You might invent some tests, but those will have a very low correlation with the reality.

Unfortunately, there's is no proper technical way to get the information you want. I just want to entirely bar connections from VPNs or Proxies.Įdit: I've been thinking that I could potentially run a test to see if there is consistent discrepancies between ping to the VPN IP and the detectable latency of the client, but that sounds pretty unreliable.Įdit2: A proxy or VPN server would likely have many more ports open than a standard home connection so I could use the number of ports open to help gauge the likelihood of a connection coming from a VPN by running a port scan of the person connecting. Is there anyway to detect that a VPN or proxy connection is being used? If not, is there anyway that I can check the likelihood that a VPN or proxy is being used? Lastly, is there anything that I can query or prompt the user with to check if they are using a VPN or Proxy so that if anyone does get through, I can try and perform additional verification? I do not need any information from the user such as location, true IP, or anything like that. I would like to block all connections to my server that use a VPN or Proxy.
