My humble attempt to detect residential proxies while limiting false positives on things like CGNAT.

So far, its pretty successful detecting SOAX, BrightData, and a custom proxy app I built for my phone - but I have a pretty limited sample size.

Give it a spin!

My provider is correct but the vpn detected is a false positive

Thanks for trying it. The vpn stuff is shaky right now, but the proxy stuff has been great - on a really small sample size.
