Proxy, Tor and Threat Detection
Ipregistry IP threat intelligence database includes over 620M malicious IP addresses. Among others, we track Tor nodes and open proxies. Data is checked and updated continuously. Publications occur as changes are detected to reduce false positives to their minimum.

Field | Description |
---|---|
security → is_abuser | Boolean indicating whether the IP Address is a known source of abuse (e.g. spam, harvesters, registration bots). |
security → is_attacker | Boolean indicating whether the IP Address is a known source of malicious activity (e.g. attacks, malware, botnet activity). |
security → is_bogon | Boolean indicating whether the IP Address is a Bogon: an unassigned, unaddressable IP address. |
security → is_cloud_provider | Boolean indicating whether the IP address is used by a Content Delivery Network (CDN) or for hosting purposes (e.g. a node from Akamai, Cloudflare, Google Cloud Platform, Amazon EC2, and more). |
security → is_proxy | Boolean indicating whether the IP Address is a known proxy. It includes HTTP/HTTPS/SSL/SOCKS/CONNECT and transparent proxies. |
security → is_relay | Boolean indicating whether the IP Address is a known relay. Relay IP addresses are not designed to bypass geo-controls but instead pool multiple users behind the same IP. At this time, only Apple Private Relay IP addresses are detected. |
security → is_tor | Boolean indicating whether the IP Address is a Tor relay: exit relay node, middle relay node or a bridge. |
security → is_tor_exit | Boolean indicating whether the IP Address is a Tor exit relay node. |
security → is_vpn | Returns true when the IP address under search is used by a Virtual Private Network (VPN), false otherwise. VPNs encrypt internet traffic and disguise online identity. |
security → is_anonymous | Boolean with true value if is_proxy OR is_tor is satisfied. |
security → is_threat | Boolean with true value if is_abuser OR is_attacker is satisfied. |
