IP2Location.com Releases new IP2Proxy IP-Country Database PX1 and Live demo

Sept. 30, 2010 - PRLog -- IP2Location™ is a geolocation database product which helps Web sites admin to detect and determine the geographical location of their world wide visitors, as well as other further information about the visitors. The query from IP address database returns information such as country, region, state, city, latitude, longitude, zip code, Internet service provider (ISP), time zone, connection speed, domain name, IDD country code, area code, weather station name, weather station code and also the newly added Mobile Network Information.

Anonymous or Open proxy servers are intermediate Web servers meant to obscure the actual identity or IP address of the requestor. Analyses found that a great number of anonymous proxy users are broadly responsible for online credit card fraud, forums and blogs spamming or defacing any visitor editable Web sites. More often than not they can be scammers, hackers or content thieves seeking only to prey on you and your legitimate Web site customers.

The fact is that a lot of Web masters do not want the traffic from these anonymous IP address. The actual work of detecting open proxy servers is a complicated and time-consuming process as it involves port scanning and detection. The IP address gets re-allocated frequently and the proxy server detection technology needs to be updated on a regular basis. IP2Proxy™ is recommended as a Web solution that simplifies anonymous proxy server detection by just loading the IP-Country database in local server and queries the IP address to identify if it is an anonymous proxy.

IP2Proxy™ detection algorithm uses a massive number of servers and ports scanning of all IP address ranges in parallel to detect anonymous open proxy servers which are actively in use. Then it generates a list of anonymous proxy IP address list which is then released to the download area regularly on a daily basis. Web developers are able to automate the download process once a day from our server and import the open proxy IP address list into their Web site by using script. All IP addresses in the latest proxy list are the recently active proxy servers on the Internet.

The demo is live at http://www.ip2location.com/demo-ip2proxy.aspx.

Available from US$49 per year, the database is available for immediate download, bundled with free monthly updates for 12 months. The database is in an easy-to-use ASCII text format and is compatible with major database programs including Microsoft SQL, MySQL, Microsoft Access, Oracle, IBM DB2 and others.
