Can a VPN usage be detected?
Posted: Sun Dec 06, 2020 11:38 pm
Hello everyone!
I'm currently discovering how to use VPN and how reliable it is. Are there tools that can detect I'm using a VPN?
I came across some IP location tools that show not only IP, country, region but if VPN use is true/false. Like this for example https://www.abstractapi.com/ip-geolocation-api
It returns the security part among other data:
"security": {
"is_vpn": false
},
I checked and when I use VPN it returns the masked IP data and shows "is_vpn": false, so doesn't recognize that I use VPN. However, is it possible that other geolocation services may detect VPN?
Thanks!
