IP2Proxy Apache Module

This Apache module supports all IP2Proxy™ BIN database products for querying proxy IP addresses and retrieving information such as proxy type, country, region, city, ISP name, domain name, usage type, ASN, last seen in days, and threats. The detected proxy types include virtual private networks (VPN), open proxies, web proxies, Tor exits, data center & web hosting ranges (DCH), search engine robots (SES), residential proxies (RES), consumer privacy networks (CPN), and enterprise private networks (EPN). It requires IP2Proxy C Library.

Developers can download sample databases to evaluate the Apache module's functionality.
