It’s an interesting use case and I do see the value in giving users more granular control like that. This would require a completely new API endpoint as the v1 endpoint is rather limited in scope and only provides a boolean about whether a certain IP is a proxy/VPN or not.

I do have some concerns regarding data accuracy when seeking to implement something like that, as the accuracy with determining whether an IP is used for 4G/5G network is far from ideal, and there are applications where some innocent users could be unfairly punished such as those on 4G/5G Home Wireless Broadband.

With that being said, for now the focus is on improving the v1 endpoint of the API to expand coverage.

We’re working on a new testing release of the extension with the captcha option and we’re considering this feature as well, would you find a tab like this sufficient or do you think we can add more columns to it?
