Comprehensive proxy detection API documentation
Comprehensive proxy detection API documentation prevention is identifying whether a user is using a proxy, VPN, or other tunneling technology. By leveraging proxy detection alongside risk scoring, identity verification, and behavior analysis, you can reduce risk and improve compliance by ensuring that users are connecting directly to your service instead of via suspicious technologies.
ipXapi’s proxy detection API offers the tools you need to detect proxies, VPNs, Tor exits, and other potentially risky IP addresses in real time. Whether you’re managing an e-commerce site or a financial service platform, our proxy detection API can help you prevent fraudulent transactions, unwanted access, and other risks associated with compromised connections.
Stop Bot Traffic with AI-Powered Detection: Secure Your Website from Attacks
When used in combination with our other fraud prevention services, our proxy detection API can identify a wider range of potential risks than any other tool. It’s able to identify multiple types of proxies, detect DNS leaks and spoofing, and provide the highest accuracy in all our services thanks to honeypots & traps, blacklists, and forensic analysis.
To use our proxy detection API, simply add the DetectProxiesWithGeoGuard behavior to a rule in your property. Then, when the request matches that rule, our detection server will add a special header called GeoGuard that includes information about the connection, including the time zone of the user’s location and the type of Internet connection (e.g., DSL, Cable, Fiber). This information can be used to confirm that the user is using a proxy, and the result of that interaction can then be scored and flagged accordingly.
