VPN & Proxy Detection — SwitzerlandDetect VPN, Proxy & Bot Traffic from Switzerland
Maskbreak scores every visitor's network in real time — flagging VPN exit nodes, residential proxies, datacenter ASNs, and headless browsers originating from Switzerland. Free API. Under 40ms server-side. No CAPTCHAs.
The networks Switzerland traffic actually arrives from
Switzerland has 791 autonomous systems on the public registry. 63 of them are hosting, cloud or transit networks holding 12.6M addresses between them — the ranges a commercial VPN or datacenter proxy exits from. Residential broadband is the rest, and that is the traffic worth watching, because a residential proxy hides inside it.
| ASN | Network | IPv4 space |
|---|---|---|
| AS3303 | SWISSCOM Swisscom Switzerland Ltd | 3.5M addresses |
| AS559 | SWITCH Switch, Swiss Academic and Research Network | 2.2M addresses |
| AS6730 | SUNRISE | 2M addresses |
| AS1836 | GREEN green.ch AG Autonomous System | 491K addresses |
| AS513 | CERN | 355K addresses |
| AS8803 | MIGROS | 330K addresses |
| AS15600 | QUICKLINE Quickline AG | 319K addresses |
| AS12350 | VTX-NETWORK | 310K addresses |
Largest hosting-shaped networks registered in Switzerland, by IPv4 allocation. Registry data, refreshed daily. A datacenter ASN is not evidence of fraud on its own — it is one signal, weighed alongside device and behaviour.
Why Switzerland traffic needs special scrutiny
Datacenter ASN concentration
Switzerland is home to ProtonVPN — Swiss exit nodes carry an unusually high share of legitimate privacy traffic mixed with fraud.
Residential proxy resale
Consumer ISP ranges in Switzerland can appear in commercial or peer-to-peer residential proxy pools. A consumer ISP label is not proof of fraud; combine it with device, session, and routing signals.
VPN exit-node clustering
The same handful of hosting providers dominate VPN exit nodes in Switzerland. Maskbreak maintains live mappings of these ranges so a new IP from a known VPN ASN is flagged within seconds of going live.
Antidetect browser usage
Multi-accounting fraud against Swiss-targeted SaaS, fintech, and e-commerce increasingly uses Kameleo, GoLogin, or AdsPower to spoof device fingerprints. Maskbreak scores these at the device layer, not the IP layer.
What Maskbreak detects for Switzerland traffic
- Every major VPN provider's Swiss exit nodes (NordVPN, ExpressVPN, ProtonVPN, Mullvad, Surfshark, and 40+ more)
- Commercial or peer-to-peer residential proxy pools using consumer Swiss IPs
- Datacenter ASNs commonly used for automation (AWS, GCP, Azure, OVH, Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode)
- Tor exit nodes and known anonymous relays advertising Swiss geolocations
- Headless browsers (Puppeteer, Playwright, Selenium) and antidetect tooling driving sessions from Switzerland
- Country-spoofing — when a session claims to be in Switzerland but the network telemetry says otherwise
