Frequently asked questions

Are VPN users always risky?

No. VPNs are common for privacy, travel, and work. Treat VPN or proxy usage as context, not automatic proof of abuse.

Can websites detect every proxy?

No detection method is perfect. Proxy checks work best when combined with reputation, ASN, velocity, and behavior signals.
