IP Address Data for Privacy Detection

Overview

This dataset detects various methods used to mask a user’s true IP address. Full, custom internet-wide scans are consistently performed to detect almost 10 million (and counting) active VPNs. This is combined with data on public SOCKS and HTTP Proxies, TOR exit nodes, and IPinfo’s IP address classification capabilities to determine which IP ranges belong to hosting providers.
