echoip VS cli

great callout! A more advanced self hosted option can be https://github.com/mpolden/echoip

In that case, I recommend you create a new endpoint on any domain you like. And deploy the open-source software behind ifconfig.co: https://github.com/mpolden/echoip

It is a GitHub project, there's already an issue for the UK:

https://github.com/mpolden/echoip/issues/130

Perhaps you ought to open one for Norway? (I don't think it would be appropriate for me to do it because I am not seeing the issue, not being in Norway.)

Note: You can check the quality of SOCKS5 or HTTPS proxy with companies like: https://ipinfo.io or whoer.net

You need an access token from ipinfo to access their API. Go to ipinfo.io and sign up for an account. After signing up, you'll get an access token. Keep it handy as we'll need it in the next step.

3- IPinfo

Mullvad VPN location set to Frankfurt germany

Using the us east test server:

Proxy Score: 10/100 - Very likely not a Proxy

VPN Score: 0/55 - Very likely not a VPN

Using german test server:

Proxy Score: 10/100 - Very likely not a Proxy

VPN Score: 30/55 - Very likely a VPN

The thing that changed between both tests was the flow latencies vs ping latencies check. Clicking on more info it said: "flow variance too large in relation to avg flow: 0.6937484181219945"

I guess it works kinda, but not very consistent.

But e.g. https://ipinfo.io/ reveals immediately that this IP is a VPN IP address.

If it's a work computer it may be connecting to it's own VPN automatically. If you go to a site like https://ipinfo.io/ do you recognize the external IP address, region, and org?

Then just check IP of the server when ping is high for you, put IP in https://ipinfo.io/, and block range for all other servers in same datacenter.

3. Check the IP address information by ipinfo.io, and confirm the IP location information is right with okeyproxy's we pasted into ProxyHelper.
