Question 1

What does Proxy/VPN Detection try to explain?

Accepted Answer

It looks at route context and mismatch cues so a user can understand whether the current session appears consistent with a direct connection, VPN, proxy, or mixed configuration.

Question 2

Can this prove I am using a VPN or proxy?

Accepted Answer

No. The app should be treated as an explanation-first consistency check. It can surface clues and mismatches, but it cannot make a universal claim about every detection system.

Question 3

Why does browser context matter for VPN or proxy detection?

Accepted Answer

A route can look one way while timezone, language, WebRTC, DNS, storage, or logged-in account context says something else. Those mismatches can matter more than the IP label alone.

Question 4

What should I do if the result looks inconsistent?

Accepted Answer

Review the proxy or VPN type, browser profile, WebRTC behavior, DNS behavior, timezone, language, and account state before relying on the route.
