anonymous traffic detection API proxy & VPN risk API helps businesses identify connections from proxies and VPNs to mitigate threats such as data scraping, fraud, and more. By identifying proxies, VPNs, and other popular privacy services, it’s easier for teams to prioritize alerts based on the level of threat.

Proxies:

Proxies act as masked IP detection API that route specific web traffic, masking the user’s real IP address. They’re commonly used to bypass geographic restrictions, bypass censorship, and anonymize internet activity. Proxies are often more affordable than VPNs, but their price varies based on quality and functionality. For example, a high-quality residential proxy is less detectable and costs more than a datacenter VPN, but they offer more reliable performance.

Detect Proxy Usage via API: Enhance Security with Real-Time Insights

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) establishes a secure tunnel between the VPN network and the device, encrypting all web traffic and protecting it from man-in-the-middle attacks. Unlike proxies, VPNs protect all network traffic and are a more comprehensive security solution.

With a bulk lookup API, it’s easy to retrieve a set of security details for up to 50,000 IP addresses at once. This saves time and provides the flexibility to detect proxies, VPNs, and other types of anonymizers at scale, enabling organizations to quickly pinpoint potential risks. Customize fields built around your use case, unlimited queries with flexible pricing models, and tailored formats and refresh cadences to meet your specific needs.
