# Residential proxy database now available as part of the GeoIP Anonymous Plus suite

_August 27, 2026_

The GeoIP Anonymous Plus suite now includes the
[GeoIP Residential Proxy database](/geoip/docs/databases/residential-proxy).

This database provides best-in-class detection of residential proxies, which
have become the primary vehicle for circumventing geofencing restrictions and
online fraud, as well as dramatically improved detection of VPNs. It helps to
considerably expand the number of networks detected, reduces false positives,
and provides metadata that can be used to fine tune proxy-aware decisioning and
enrich logs.

The GeoIP Residential Proxy database is included with a license for the GeoIP
Anonymous Plus suite. If you are interested in requesting access to the new
dataset for your evaluation, please reach out to your Customer Success Manager
or
