Good read

Do you happen to know if anyone is compiling all of this data about VPNs into one place? It would be super interesting to know which VPNs are providing genuine services vs masquerading the locations. Maybe even an SEO for you.

Just to clarify: You are suggesting that we don't pro-actively enrich every IP address, store IPs, and only enrich them when troubleshooting something?

We made that report independently and, according to our analysis, we only identified three VPNs: Windscribe, Mullvad, and iVPN to not have virtual VPN server locations.

I think you should experiment with this yourself a little. The Lite API is completely free. So you can do ingestion enrichment and post-enrichment enrichment. See what works best for you.
