Estonian IP intelligence API detecting VPNs, proxies, TOR, and bots — 300+ VPN providers, 500K+ proxies, 100K+ bots tracked, simple HTTP API with multi-language SDKs.
Focsec is an Estonian IP intelligence API that detects suspicious network activity — VPNs, proxies, TOR exit nodes, and malicious bots — in real time. Built by Nineties Engineering OÜ in Tallinn, the service powers fraud prevention and bot protection for SaaS, e-commerce, and auth providers who need lightweight IP checks without the overhead of a full fraud platform.
Instead of relying on stale blocklists, Focsec continuously monitors VPN and proxy networks from its own collection infrastructure, keeping detection current and accurate.
Key features:
- 300+ VPN providers tracked globally
- 500,000+ proxies — free and commercial proxy detection
- TOR detection — identify Onion network traffic
- Bot detection — block 100,000+ known malicious bots, crawlers, and spammers
- Simple API — HTTP GET with bearer token auth:
api.focsec.com/v1/ip/{IP} - Multi-language SDKs — Python, Ruby, Node.js, curl
- Fraud prevention use cases — signup abuse, multi-accounting, login fraud, scraping
Free 14-day trial with full API access, no credit card required. A clean EU-based alternative to US IP intelligence services like IPQualityScore and MaxMind for teams who care about where their request logs are stored.
