The module detects visitor IP addresses which are used as VPN anonymizer, open proxies, web proxies, Tor exit nodes, search engine robots, data center ranges, residential proxies, consumer privacy networks, and enterprise private networks.

A IP2Proxy database is required for the lookup. It can be downloaded from https://lite.ip2location.com (Free) or https://www.ip2location.com (Commercial).

1. Create a working directory.

   mkdir ~/ip2proxy-dev
   cd ~/ip2proxy-dev
   

   ​

2. Download IP2Proxy C library source code.

   git clone https://github.com/ip2location/ip2proxy-c.git
   

   ​

3. Compile and install the IP2Proxy C library.

   cd ip2proxy-c
   autoreconf -i -v --force
   ./configure
   make
   make install

6. Compile IP2Proxy module.

   apxs2 -i -a -L /usr/local/lib/ -I ../ip2proxy-c/libIP2Proxy/ -l IP2Proxy -c mod_ip2proxy.c
