Interesting. It definitely seems like something that would be taken into consideration when deciding whether an IP is a VPN/proxy. I doubt it could be the sole decider though. Detection these days is mostly from data leaks and figuring out if the IP is or has ever been a known exit point for a VPN/proxy. Once itโs fingerprinted, the detection gets easier. Do a WhoIS on an IP from a VPN and itโll tell you who the provider is. You could also scan the IP using detection sites like ipqualityscore to find out what kind of information is actually being put out there.
