# IP Screening: Risk Score, Geolocation, and Proxy or VPN Detection

> Submit an IP address to get a fraud risk score, geolocation, blacklist status, and proxy or VPN detection so you can block or flag high-risk traffic before signup or sensitive actions.

IP Screening takes a user’s IP address and returns a structured risk profile: geolocation (continent, country, city, ASN, ISP), blacklist exposure across threat feeds, and signals for Tor, proxy, or VPN usage. You use the result to block or step up verification for suspicious IPs before onboarding, login, or high-value transactions.

***

#### Core Features

You receive a detailed profile for every IP address submitted:

* **Blacklist Score**: Number and severity of blacklist flags across threat intelligence sources
* **Geolocation Data**: Continent, country, city, ASN, ISP
* **Anonymity Detection**: Tor usage, proxy/VPN indicators, hosting environment
* **Reverse DNS**: Hostname associated with the IP (if available)
* **Fraud Risk Score**: A unified score from 0 to 100 indicating IP risk level

***

#### Use Cases

* **Funnel protection**: Block access from suspicious IPs before onboarding or signup
* **Risk scoring**: Include IP risk in your trust model for transactions or logins
* **Geographic compliance**: Enforce regional restrictions on sensitive operations
* **Fraud resolution**: Combine with other signals (email, phone, device) for investigative reviews
