Anonymous or Open proxy servers are intermediate Web servers meant to hide the
real identity or IP address of the requestor. Studies found that a large number
of anonymous proxy users are generally responsible for online credit card
fraud, forums and blogs spamming or defacing any visitor editable Web sites.
More often than not they can be scammers, hackers or content thieves seeking
only to prey on you and your legitimate Web site visitors.
The simple fact is that a lot of Web masters don't want or need the traffic from
these anonymous IP address. The detection of open proxy servers is complicated
and time-consuming process as it required port scanning and detection. The IP
address re-allocated frequently and the proxy server detection technology need
to be updated regularly. IP2Proxy™ is a simple Web solution that simplifies
anonymous proxy server detection and turns it as simple as a query of IP
address from a local database.
IP2Proxy™ detection algorithm is using a massive number of servers and ports
scanning of all IP address ranges in parallel to detect anonymous open proxy
servers which are actively in used. Then it generates a list of anonymous proxy
IP address list which is being released to download area every 24-hour. The Web
developers can automate the download process once per day from our server and
import the open proxy IP address list into their Web site using script. All IP
addresses in the latest proxy list are the recently active proxy servers in the
Internet.
