potato-detection v1.0.3

Why?

Detect if an IP is a Proxy / VPN or if it's considered as bad.

Installation

npm install --save potato-detection

Setup

Create a directory somewhere, and point the path param to it. Use a secret key to encrypt the data

Include your contact information so the author of getipintel can notify me if a problem arise or if there are core changes. In some situations, people query the system in a wrong manner and assume everything is working (but due to the lack of or improper handling of error codes), it's not the case. Since he only have the connecting IP address, he cannot help the person correct the error.

const PotatoDetection = require('potato-detection')

PotatoDetection.setup(mail, path, secret)

API

isValid(options).then(data).catch(data)

• flags: 'm' is used when you're only looking for the value of "1" as the result. The m flag skips the dynamic checks and only uses static ban lists.
• flags: 'b' is used when you want to use static ban and dynamic checks with partial bad IP check. default
• flags: 'f' is used when you want to force the system to do a full lookup, which can take up to 5 seconds.
• oflags: 'b' is used when you want to see if the IP is considered as bad IP. Note that when using flags option, this result can vary.
• oflags: 'c' is used when you want to see which country the IP came from / which country the IP belongs to (GeoIP Location). Currently in alpha testing.

PotatoDetection.isValid({
  flags: 'f',
  ip: 'some ip'
}).then(data => {
   console.log('IP is valid: ' + data)
}).catch(data => {
   console.log('IP is invalid: ' + data)
})
