is_anonymous_proxy and is_satellite_provider are now deprecated in GeoIP2.
Use the GeoIP2 Anonymous IP Database to identify anonymous IPs and refer to the IP Risk Score to assess whether an IP address is high risk.
Due to the increased coverage by mobile carriers, very few satellite providers
now serve multiple countries. As a result, the is_satellite_provider output
does not provide sufficiently relevant data for us to maintain it.
