VPN Object

The VPN List (vpn_list ) is provided for IP addresses hosting VPN servers. This information is available through both the IP API and the VPN Datasets.

Most VPN deployments use a one-to-one relationship between a service provider and a dedicated IP address. However, some parent companies use shared infrastructure across multiple brands, resulting in multi-tenant IPs. To account for these shared configurations, the vpn_list attribute returns an array of all detected VPN entities associated with the host.

VPN List Overview

The VPN List provides a list of detected VPN services running on the IP. It is worth noting that only VPN servers will have a vpn_list attribute. Other types of traffic related to a VPN service (e.g., blogs, downloads, APIs) will not be included in vpn_list . For example, an IP hosting a blog for Mullvad VPN will be listed in the application_list attribute but will not have a vpn_list attribute set.
