VPN / Proxy

Blocks VPN / Proxy clicks that exceed the threshold percentage of allowed VPN / Proxy on the same source and offer combination.

Note: This filter is also available for conversions.

Configuration Options:

Minimum Clicks count:

• number of clicks to sent before the filter starts working. This amount of traffic forms the basis for the initial calculation of the actual Threshold.

Threshold Percentage:

• Percentage of total traffic at which the filter will start to reject Proxy / VPN. When the threshold percentage is set to "0" no threshold will be quantified and every Proxy / VPN Click gets rejected (except for the Minimum Click count).

Look-back Time:

• The time interval in the past for which the actual threshold is calculated. The calculations will repeat with each time interval selected.

Check on Sub ID level:

• The filter will apply the settings above per SubID instead and it will calculate the percentage of Proxy / VPN clicks for each SubID. Activating this option will make the filter screening a lot "softer". Also, pay attention that the SubID is mapped correctly on your side to avoid unique SubID values as the filter will never reach the thresholds for screening.

Setup Example:

• Minimum click count: 100
• Threshold percentage: 80 %
• Lookback Time: 12h
• Check on Sub ID Level: OFF

In this example, the first 100 clicks detected as VPN/Proxy will be approved because they represent the minimum click count.

Let's asume that the integration gets 80 VPN clicks and 20 normal clicks.

The amount of VPN now is 80% .

VPN clicks will be rejected when the amount of VPN clicks will exceed the threshold of 80%.
