You're a legit user --> Why in earth you would like to use a proxy or or
anonymizer to do the purchase?

Why I would do so and purchase unless I have something to hide? You have
the option block or allow hosting provider ranges, of course.

The most common reason would be I'm trying to buy something while at
work and my company has deployed a URL filtering product which blocks
the website completely.

If you can't come up with a few more legit reasons then you really have no
clue.


You really don't seem to understand how advanced protection this API
provides. Please read carefully everything after the banner at
http://nixapi.com/

I don't know how URL filtering products are related to this API protection.

Step 1: User wants to visit a website to buy something while at work.

Step 2: Company where that user works blocks access to the website
because it's against company policy using a webfilter

Step 3: User uses a tor or other proxy to avoid corporate webfilter to
visit that website

Step 4: User gets blocked by your service when they go to buy because
they're using a proxy

Step 5: Frustrated user buys same/similar product from another seller
who is not using your service and original website looses a sale.

Clear now?
