#32Detects iCloud private relay via Cloudflare, did not detect Mullvad.

some (most?) iphones use apple's private relay (akamai) in some capacity

#40This makes me sad :(
I hope OP fails fantastically. I don't want more companies putting up bullshit filters that have a ton of false positives.
There are already lots of commercial products in the market that do this, much more effectively, with prepopulated databases sourced over thousands of businesses.
