Exploring Proxy Detection API Services

A variety of detection techniques can be used to identify a proxy, from webRTC tests to open port pings to suspicious latency delays. These methods can help you uncover the underlying reasons for connections that may not appear as expected, such as a sudden change in geographical location or a delay in response to a request.

Proxies can also be used to bypass the content access restrictions enabled by digital rights management (DRM) strategies and systems, or to take over accounts on payment portals or other services using stolen identities. Our API can spot these users and identify them as high-risk for a range of activities so that you can improve security, prevent chargebacks, strengthen KYC processes, reduce account hijacking, and more.
