What is a proxy blocker?A proxy blocker is a tool that analyzes an IP address to determine whether it is a proxy or a residential IP, allowing you to choose a course of action based upon that information. It helps identify if an IP address is being used to mask the user's real identity, typically by checking if it belongs to a known proxy server, VPN, or data center. Proxy checkers are commonly used by applications to detect and block fraudulent, automated, or malicious traffic as well as gameservers to prevent ban evasion via a VPN from a previously banned player. The Evolution Host proxy checker and blocking service allows you to identify proxy users and block their traffic from reaching your network or application. |

How does the proxy checker work?
Once your order has been placed, you'll receive a unique set of easy to implement API credentials and instructions that'll allow you to programmatically check for proxies or VPN's in your applications or game servers.
You will also be able to check manually for proxies and VPN's via the control panel at any time.  |
 Use as a VPN checker to identify banned playersThe growing usage of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) has become a challenge for gameserver owners, as banned players increasingly exploit these services to evade their bans. By utilizing a VPN, these individuals can mask their IP addresses, making it difficult for server owners and administrators to enforce permanent bans. This not only undermines the authority of the server but also creates an unfair environment for legitimate players who adhere to the rules.To combat this issue, the Evolution Host proxy checker and blocker service can be employed to identify and block players attempting to connect to the server via a VPN or proxy thus ensuring that bans remain in place and a fair and safe environment persists for the innocent and genuine members of your gameservers community. |
