IP2Location Adds Bogon IP Address Detection to IP2Proxy and IP2Location.io Services

KUALAL LUMPUR, Malaysia - Aug. 5, 2025 - PRLog -- IP2Location, a leading provider of IP intelligence solutions, is pleased to announce the release of Bogon IP address detection in its IP2Proxy CSV/BIN databases and IP2Location.io API services. This new feature enhances users' ability to detect suspicious IP addresses that are unassigned or illegitimately announced via BGP (Border Gateway Protocol).

The Bogon data is now available in the IP2Proxy PX9, PX10, PX11, and PX12 packages, where the proxy.threat field is included. Users can expect to see a new threat category labeled "BOGON", in addition to existing values like:

• (SPAM) – Email and forum spammers
• (SCANNER) – Network security scanners
• (BOTNET) – Malware-infected devices
• (BOGON) – Unassigned or illegitimate IP addresses announced via BGP

For users of the IP2Location.io API, a new field proxy.is_bogon has also been introduced. This field provides a quick boolean check to identify if an IP falls within the Bogon range.

Bogon IPs are often used in spoofing, scanning, and malicious activity. By incorporating this threat intelligence, IP2Location empowers developers, cybersecurity professionals, and network administrators to improve risk detection and strengthen their defenses.

This update is available immediately for all customers using the PX9–PX12 plans or the IP2Location.io API.
