IP2Proxy Apache Module

This Apache module support all IP2Proxy™ BIN database products to query proxy IP address and its country, region, city, ISP name, domain name, usage type, ASN, last seen in days, threats and proxy type. The proxy type detected includes VPN anonymizer, open proxies, web proxies, Tor exits, data center & web hosting range (DCH), search engine robots (SES) and residential proxy (RES). It requires IP2Proxy C Library.

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