Readme
This module allows user to query an IP address if it was being used as VPN anonymizer, open proxies, web proxies, Tor exits, data center, web hosting (DCH) range, search engine robots (SES) and residential (RES). It lookup the proxy IP address from IP2Proxy BIN Data file. This data file can be downloaded at
As an alternative, this module can also call the IP2Proxy Web Service. This requires an API key. If you don't have an existing API key, you can subscribe for one at the below:
https://www.ip2location.com/web-service/ip2proxy
To install this module type the following:
npm install ip2proxy-nodejs
