An ipapi.com alternative that names the VPN
ipapi.com's security data, on its Business Pro plan, covers proxies and Tor. InternetData names the VPN, splits proxies by kind, flags hosting and CDNs and answers the abuse contact, on every paid plan from $39 a month.
The free fields need no key and have no cap. A free account's first 100 lookups each day answer every field.
