Detecting proxy and VPN usage helps identify potentially evasive traffic, though legitimate privacy uses must be considered.
Why Detect Proxies?
Attackers use proxies to hide origins, bypass geographic restrictions, and evade IP-based security controls.
Detection Methods
- IP Database Lookups - Check against known proxy/VPN IP lists.
- Header Analysis - Identify proxy-related HTTP headers.
- Behavioral Signals - Detect proxy-like connection patterns.
