The "Location Info" button now includes ISP (internet service provider) information so all members can see if someone is using a VPN (virtual private network) or proxy.
Example output:
bltmmd.fios.verizon.net
This most important information is the end. In this case Verizon.net. If you then go to Verizon.net you can clearly see they are a ISP company. For smaller not well knowns companies, it is recommend you go to the company website to make sure they are an ISP. If you only see webhosting that means they are using a proxy or VPN.
If the field is empty that means we do not have any ISP info on that IP address. This mostly happens with counties such as China, Russia, Korea and other Asian counties. This does not mean it is 100% a proxy or VPN, just an ISP that is not in our database. Take extra caution in cases such as this.
