Free IP tool
Check whether an IP is a Tor exit node using a continuously updated live list, and automate the same check through the API.
Overview
A Tor exit node is the last relay in the Tor network, the IP that the destination website actually sees. Traffic from a Tor exit could be anyone, anywhere, with their real location fully hidden. Tor exit node detection checks an IP against the live, frequently changing list of exit relays so you can apply the right policy to anonymous Tor traffic, whether that is blocking, challenging or simply logging it.
Signals
The exit list changes constantly, so freshness matters most.
Correlation against the public Tor exit-node list, refreshed continuously.
Tracks IPs that have recently served as exit relays.
Many exits sit in known hosting ranges, reinforcing the verdict.
Past abuse from the exit raises its risk.
Clear signal that origin is fully obscured by Tor.
A 0–100 score accompanies every verdict.
