IP2Proxy Ruby on Rails Library

This IP2Proxy Ruby on Rails library allows user to reverse search of IP address to detect VPN servers, open proxies, web proxies, Tor exit nodes, search engine robots, data center ranges, residential proxies, consumer privacy networks, and enterprise private networks using IP2Proxy BIN database. Other information available includes proxy type, country, state, city, ISP, domain name, usage type, AS number, AS name, threats, last seen date and provider names. It lookup the proxy IP address from IP2Proxy BIN Data file.

INSTALLATION

1. Add this lines to your application's Gemfile: ruby gem 'ip2proxy_ruby' gem 'ip2proxy_rails'
2. Then execute it bash $ bundle install
3. Open the preferred file in the config/environments directory. Add the following code to the chosen configuration file after the Rails.application.configure do line. ruby config.ip2proxy_db_path = Rails.root.join('lib', 'assets', 'ip2proxy_rails', 'IP2PROXY.BIN').to_s

USAGE

1. Download IP2Proxy BIN database
   • IP2Proxy LITE database at https://lite.ip2location.com
   • IP2Proxy Commercial database at https://www.ip2location.com/proxy-database
2. Create a folder named as ip2proxy_rails in the lib/assets directory.
3. Unzip and copy the BIN file into lib/assets/ip2proxy_rails folder.
4. Rename the BIN file to IP2PROXY.BIN.
5. Create a TestController using the below command line bash bin/rails generate controller Test index --skip-routes
6. Open the app/controllers/test_controller.rb in any text editor.
7. Add the below lines into the controller file. ```ruby require 'ip2proxy_rails'

class TestController < ApplicationController def index proxy_service = Ip2proxyRails.new('1.2.3.4') @is_proxy = proxy_service.is_proxy @proxy_type = proxy_service.proxy_type @country_code = proxy_service.country_code @country_name = proxy_service.country_name @region = proxy_service.region @city = proxy_service.city @isp = proxy_service.isp @domain = proxy_service.domain @usage_type = proxy_service.usagetype @asn = proxy_service.asn @as = proxy_service.as @last_seen = proxy_service.last_seen @threat = proxy_service.threat @provider = proxy_service.provider @fraud_score = proxy_service.fraud_score end end

8. Open the *app/views/test/index.html.erb* in any text editor and add the below lines into it.

is Proxy: <%= @is_proxy %>

Proxy Type: <%= @proxy_type %>

Country Code: <%= @country_code %>

Country Name: <%= @country_name %>

Region Name: <%= @region %>

City Name: <%= @city %>

ISP Name: <%= @isp %>

Domain Name: <%= @domain %>

Usage Type: <%= @usage_type %>

ASN: <%= @asn %>

AS: <%= @as %>

Last Seen: <%= @last_seen %>

Threat: <%= @threat %>

Provider: <%= @provider %>

Fraud Score: <%= @fraud_score %>

9. Add the following line into the *config/routes.rb* file after the `Rails.application.routes.draw do` line.
```ruby
get "/test", to: "test#index"

1. Restart your development server. bash $ bin/rails server
2. Enter the URL /test and run. You should see the proxy information of 1.2.3.4 IP address.
