Frequently asked questions

Is this IP checker free?

Yes. You can check IPs here with no signup and no credit card. For your own API key, every account includes 100 free checks a month.

How do you detect a VPN or proxy?

By classifying the network the IP belongs to (VPNs and proxies exit through datacenter/hosting networks, not residential ISPs) and checking it against known commercial VPN ranges.

What's the difference between datacenter and residential?

Residential IPs are assigned to home connections where real users are; datacenter IPs belong to hosting providers and are far more likely to be bots, scrapers or anonymized traffic.

How do I use this in my own product?

Generate a free API key and POST an IP to the /ip_risk endpoint. You get the same structured result you see here, in a few lines of code.
