Learn About Proxy Detection API: A Complete Guide

Proxies & VPNs are popular among fraudsters & cybercriminals for their ability to mask their identity, spoof their connection type, and provide anonymity to users. Proxies are also a common method used to bypass anti-bot protections found on websites which can lead to user account creation, transaction, and click fraud on e-commerce sites, gaming communities, research universities & institutions, law enforcement, and other online services that require stringent security protocols.

By integrating ipXapi’s proxy detection API into their applications, developers can help mitigate these risks by automatically flagging and prioritizing alerts from IP addresses associated with proxies, VPNs, and Tor exit nodes. This can be a crucial tool for companies looking to enhance their security protocol and reduce the number of threats being launched against their systems.
