IP2Location detects VPNs from Plus, at $249 a month for 300,000 queries. IPScanner Pro covers 500,000 lookups, VPN detection included, for $49.
No IPScanner plan bills overage. IP2Location's paid plans keep answering past the quota and charge for the extra queries unless you cap them.
The Cloudflare Worker, the WordPress plugin and the Traefik, Caddy and nginx gates apply the policy you set per class in the dashboard. IP2Location's nginx module gives you variables to write rules with.
