This tool checks your IP address against known proxy, VPN, and datacenter IP databases to determine if your connection appears to be anonymized or coming from a non-residential source.
A proxy server acts as an intermediary between your device and the internet. It can mask your real IP address and is often used for privacy, bypassing geo-restrictions, or network filtering.
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) encrypts your internet traffic and routes it through a server in another location, hiding your real IP address and protecting your privacy.
Datacenter detection identifies if your IP address belongs to a cloud provider or hosting company rather than a residential ISP. This is common when using VPNs, cloud servers, or corporate networks.
Note: Detection is not 100% accurate. Some VPNs and proxies may not be detected, and some legitimate residential connections may occasionally be flagged as proxies.
