VPN/Proxy/Tor Detection

Overview

VPN/Proxy/Tor detection identifies when users hide their real IP addresses to mask geolocation or identity. Fraudsters often use such tools to bypass jurisdictional restrictions, commit fraud, or avoid sanctions.For compliance, detecting hidden IPs helps institutions apply enhanced checks and prevent misuse.

Regulators expect financial institutions to monitor high-risk logins or transactions from anonymized networks.Detection methods include IP reputation databases, latency analysis, and device fingerprinting. Banks, fintechs, and payment providers integrate such signals into fraud scoring and monitoring to flag suspicious users.
