Advanced techniques for detecting VPNs, proxies, and anonymous users in IP tracking
As privacy tools become more common, up to 30% of internet users now use VPNs or proxies. This presents challenges for accurate IP tracking but also opportunities for enhanced security analysis.
Commercial VPN providers masking user locations
Intermediate servers hiding original IP addresses
Anonymous browsing through onion routing
Cross-reference IP addresses against known VPN server databases.
Highly accurate for commercial VPN services but may miss private proxies or new providers.
Analyze connection patterns and response times that indicate proxy usage.
Effective but can produce false positives due to network congestion or geographic distance.
Detect inconsistencies between claimed location and browser characteristics.
Good for detecting location spoofing but requires JavaScript execution.
