IP geolocation as a core security control
Classify threats, enforce geo-based firewall rules, analyze ASN routing, and enrich incident response workflows — all from a single IP intelligence platform.
Threat intelligence and IP classification
Classify inbound connections by country, ASN, proxy type and threat category before they reach application logic. ipOptic Proxy DB PX12 includes a threat classification field (up to 128 chars) and provider name — letting your SIEM distinguish botnet exit nodes from corporate VPN users without manual enrichment.
Geo-based firewall and access control
Generate allow/deny lists by country or ASN for firewall rules, WAF policies and CDN edge configurations. ipOptic Geo DB DB1 (country-only, $99/yr) is often sufficient for geo-fencing. ASN-level rules require DB17+ or the dedicated Lite ASN dataset. CIDR format output is compatible with iptables, pfSense, Cloudflare and most WAF vendors.
ASN and autonomous system intelligence
Map IP addresses to their Autonomous System for network attribution, BGP threat analysis and route-origin validation. ipOptic ASN data covers all publicly routed ASNs — accessible via the Lite bundle (free) or with enrichment fields in DB17+. The /as/[asn] lookup pages provide real-time prefix and organization data via BGPView.
Anomaly detection and geolocation consistency checks
Surface impossible travel, timezone mismatches and location spoofing by comparing the declared user location with IP geolocation. ipOptic Geo DB provides timezone (DB7+) and net speed (DB8+) to detect VPN-masked sessions where the IP timezone contradicts the browser timezone — a high-signal anomaly for session hijacking detection.
Incident response and forensic enrichment
Enrich IOC lists with geographic, ISP and proxy context during incident response. ipOptic Batch Proxy Detection processes up to 100K IPs per credit pack with CSV output suitable for SIEM import or court-admissible evidence packages. One-time credits with 1-year validity — no subscription lock-in for forensic workloads.
