just out of curiosity: if i'm located in spain and i setup an ec2 or digital ocean instance in germany and use it as a socks proxy over ssh, do you will detect me?

It is even easier to block hosting providers. They typically publish official lists. Here's the full list for both of those providers:

https://ip-ranges.amazonaws.com/ip-ranges.json

https://digitalocean.com/geo/google.csv

(And even if they don't publish them, you can just look up the ranges owned by any autonomous network with the appropriate registry.)

It won’t end up in our proxy detection database, but we track hosting provider ranges separately: https://www.iplocate.io/data/hosting-providers/
That's a hosting service IP block. Some sites block them already. Netflix for instance.
