GeoIP2...mousIP(3pm)

💖 GeoIP2::Model::AnonymousIP — a whole vibe 💖

okay so bestie, you found it — this is the manual page for GeoIP2...mousIP(3pm), aka the GeoIP2::Model::AnonymousIP situation. It's the model class for the GeoIP2 Anonymous IP database. Sit down, hydrate, let's go ✨

---

✨ VERSION ✨

version 2.006002 — that's the one, that's the era we're in 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Here's the whole flex, verbatim, no cap:

use 5.008;

use GeoIP2::Model::AnonymousIP;

my $anon = GeoIP2::Model::AnonymousIP->new(
    raw => {
        is_anonymous        => 1,
        is_hosting_provider => 1,
        ip_address          => '24.24.24.24'
    }
);

print $anon->is_anonymous(), "\n";

like, it's giving "make an object, print a boolean, move on" 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This class provides a model for the data returned by the GeoIP2 Anonymous IP database. That's literally its whole job and it does it beautifully. It's the little wrapper that makes the raw data cute and accessible 🫶

---

💜 METHODS 💜

This class provides the following methods — a whole roster of baddies:

$anon->is_anonymous()

Returns true if the IP address belongs to any sort of anonymous network. That's the big-picture yes/no 🔥

$anon->is_anonymous_vpn()

Returns true if the IP address is registered to an anonymous VPN provider.

okay important detail, don't skip this: If a VPN provider does not register subnets under names associated with them, we will likely only flag their IP ranges using the is_hosting_provider attribute. So like, iykyk — sometimes the VPN flag just isn't the one that catches it, and the hosting provider flag is doing the heavy lifting instead 🧚

$anon->is_hosting_provider()

Returns true if the IP address belongs to a hosting or VPN provider — see the description of the is_anonymous_vpn attribute above for the whole tea ☕

$anon->is_public_proxy()

Returns true if the IP address belongs to a public proxy. 🕵️

$anon->is_tor_exit_node()

Returns true if the IP address is a Tor exit node. very main character energy, very anonymous 🧅

$anon->ip_address()

Returns the IP address used in the lookup. Just the actual address, being itself 💖
