FAQ

Fraud detection, answered

How do I detect if an IP address is a VPN or proxy?

Call huntback with the IP at login or signup. It classifies the network (VPN, commercial proxy, Tor exit, datacenter/hosting, residential or mobile) and returns a risk score, in milliseconds, from a local dataset with full IPv4 coverage plus the live Tor and VPN lists.

Can I block Tor or datacenter traffic at signup?

Yes. Use the network type and risk score to allow, step-up (extra verification), flag for review, or block, according to your own policy.

Will it slow down my login?

No. Classification is a local lookup with no third-party API call, so it returns in milliseconds.

How is this different from a plain geo-IP database?

Geo-IP tells you a country. huntback tells you the anonymisation layer (is this a VPN, a Tor exit, a datacenter, a residential proxy?) and cross-references it with attacks seen on our deception network.
