Sample Report: Proxy

The proxy report allows you to see if your traffic uses various proxy solutions to hide their origin. The use of a proxy can also indicate non-human traffic. Analyzing proxy traffic may also help you to be compliant with various affiliate networks' regulations, as some of them can withhold a payout if proxy traffic has been detected.

There are the following possible proxy values in Voluum:

• Anonymous: IP address is not available.
• Transparent: IP address is available, but may not be reliable
• Hosting: IP address belongs to a hosting facility, and it is likely to be a proxy.
• Corporate: Multiple users are proxied through a central location or locations, and thus share a single network-apparent IP address.
• Public: Multiple users proxied from a location allowing public Internet access.
• Edu: Proxied users from an educational institution.
• ?: Not determined to be a proxy.

In order to create a proxy report, perform the following steps:

1. In Voluum, select the Proxy option from the Connection drop-down menu.

2. Analyze traffic in terms of a type of proxy used.
