Secure your platform: block VPN and Proxy connections with Abstract APISwiftask integrates Abstract IP Geolocation API to analyze IP addresses in real-time. Instantly identify users hidden behind VPNs or Proxies.Result:Reduce fraud risks and protect your services without slowing down legitimate users.Unauthorized access via VPNs and Proxies threatens your platformMalicious actors often use VPNs, Proxies, or Tor networks to mask their true origin. This exposes your service to increased risks of fraud, account abuse, geo-restriction bypassing, and spam.Main negative impacts:Increased fraud risks: IP masking makes it difficult to identify attackers, facilitating automated attacks and service abuse.Bypassing restrictions: Users can bypass your compliance or licensing policies by simulating a different location.Complex filtering: Manually maintaining blacklists is inefficient against the constant rotation of VPN IP addresses.Swiftask automates the verification of every connection using Abstract API. If an IP is identified as a VPN, Proxy, or Tor, your AI agent takes immediate action: block access, limit rights, or trigger additional verification.BEFORE / AFTERWhat changes with SwiftaskWithout SwiftaskA user accesses your platform via a datacenter IP or VPN. Your system detects nothing suspicious and allows full access. Minutes later, this user performs fraudulent actions or spams your services.With Swiftask + Abstract APIUpon connection attempt, Swiftask queries Abstract API. The IP is flagged as 'VPN'.
