For website and app owners

Put this detection on your own site

Add one script tag to your site. We POST a JSON verdict for every visitor to your server. Nothing to host.

  1. 1

    Create a free account

    Your API key is ready on the dashboard. It is public by design and only identifies your site.

  2. 2

    Paste one line of HTML

    Drop the snippet before </body>. Works with any HTML, CMS or tag manager.

  3. 3

    Receive the verdict

    Set a callback URL. Your server gets a JSON POST per visitor and decides: allow, CAPTCHA or block.

The snippet
<script src="https://engine.proxydetect.live/pd-lib.js?pdKey=YOUR_API_KEY&pdVal=SESSION_ID" async></script>

SESSION_ID is any id you choose. It comes back unchanged in the result.

What your server receives
{
  "type": "active",
  "uuid": "59d68ddfa135f3f0",
  "pdVal": "SESSION_ID",
  "ip": "185.220.101.34",
  "is_proxy": true,
  "is_vpn": false
}

Why Live Detection?

IP blocklists are outdated the moment they are published. Our engine classifies live traffic instead.

Static feeds miss exits

New proxy clusters and residential pools come online every hour.

Bots pivot to fresh IPs

Attackers rotate to clean mobile and residential IPs that no blocklist has seen yet.

Real-time signals

TCP/IP fingerprints, latency and network flows expose tunnelled traffic as it happens.
