How can you tell if a connection is from a vpn? Do you need a list of all the vpn end points for all providers around the world?
I think that's their starting point - joke's on them, anybody anywhere can setup new vpn services at almost no cost...
There are lists of VPN and tor IPs that can be used for blocking. That will work for commercial VPN services, but not self hosted VPNs.
Yeah indexes of VPN provider IP ranges (and VPS providers and such) already exist. If you want to get around that you need to find a residential ISP SOCKS proxy provider.
