proxy-detect-module

• This module is used to detect the IP address if an IP address is a proxy IP address.
• It will store the proxy IP address in a MongoDB database and a Redis database.
• Redis is used to store only IP addresses and fast access and MongoDB is used to store the IP address and other information as a permanent record.
• The module will check the IP address on the following default ports: 8000, 443, 8080, 8081, 1194, 3128.
• The module will try to connect (TCP CONNECT) to the IP address on the above ports, if it is successful, it will be considered as a proxy IP address.
• The module will also check if the IP address is a TOR node, if it is, it will be considered as a proxy IP address. ( DNSEL Service will be used to check if the IP address is a TOR node )
• Before checking the IP address, it will be checked in the Redis database, if it is not in the Redis database, it will be checked.
• When the module is initialized, IP addresses are stored in MongoDB, will be transferred to Redis.
• Full Lookup time is about 500ms, even if the IP address is not a proxy IP address.

Installation

Exposed Methods

// initialize the module with the following parameters
proxyDetect.init({
  host: 'redis-domain.com',
  port: 19831, // Redis port
  password: 'redispassword', 
  username: 'default', // Redis username
  ports: [8000, 443, 8080, 8081, 1194, 3128], // Ports to check
  mongoUri:
    'mongodb+srv://DetectService:fgfg' // MongoDB connection string
});

// get all proxy ip stored in mongoDB
proxyDetect.GetProxyList(page: number, limit: number, search: string) : Promise<ProxyIp[]>;

//peform a check on a single ip address, if it is a proxy ip address, it will be stored in mongoDB and redis
proxyDetect.IsProxy(ip: string) : Promise<boolean>;

//remove a proxy ip address from mongoDB and redis
proxyDetect.DeleteProxyIP(id: string) : Promise<{ resultM : boolean, resultR : boolean }>;

Usage ( NestJS API Example )

// importing the module
import { ProxyDetect } from 'proxy-detect-module';


export class DetectService {
  // initialize the module with the following parameters
  private proxyDetect = new ProxyDetect();
  constructor() {
    this.proxyDetect.init({
      host: 'redis-domain.com',
      port: 19831, // Redis port
      password: 'redispassword', 
      username: 'default', // Redis username
      ports: [8000, 443, 8080, 8081, 1194, 3128], // Ports to check
      mongoUri:
        'mongodb+srv://DetectService:Asdfv8dsfds8q@clusternt.jdryd3.mongodb.net/ProxyIpDB?retryWrites=true&w=majority',
    });
  }
  // get all proxy ip stored in mongoDB
  async findAll(page: number, limit: number, search: string) {
    return await this.proxyDetect.GetProxyList(page, limit, search);
  }

  //peform a check on a single ip address, if it is a proxy ip address, it will be stored in mongoDB and redis
  async findOne(ip: string) {
    console.log('findOne service', ip);
    const res = await this.proxyDetect.IsProxy(ip);
    return { ip, res };
  }

  //remove a proxy ip address from mongoDB and redis
  async remove(id: string) {
    return await this.proxyDetect.DeleteProxyIP(id); 
  }
}
