enhancedProxyDetection

Property Manager name: Enhanced Proxy Detection with GeoGuard
Behavior version: The latest rule format supports the enhancedProxyDetection behavior v1.2.
Rule format status: Beta, possible breaking changes
Access: Read-write
Allowed in includes: Not available for latest rule format

Enhanced Proxy Detection (EPD) leverages the GeoGuard service provided by GeoComply to add proxy detection and location spoofing protection. It identifies requests for your content that have been redirected from an unwanted source through a proxy. You can then allow, deny, or redirect these requests.

Include this behavior in the same rule as epdForwardHeaderEnrichment. The epdForwardHeaderEnrichment behavior sends the Enhanced Proxy Detection (Akamai-EPD) header in the forward request to determine whether the connecting IP address is an anonymous proxy.

Currently, enhancedProxyDetection only works with IPv4 addresses.

Option	Type	Description	Requires
`enabled`	boolean	Applies GeoGuard proxy detection.		{"displayType":"boolean","tag":"input","type":"checkbox"}
`forwardHeaderEnrichment`	boolean	Whether the Enhanced Proxy Detection (Akamai-EPD) header is included in the forward request to mark a connecting IP address as an anonymous proxy, with a two-letter designation. See the `epdForwardHeaderEnrichment` behavior for details.		{"displayType":"boolean","tag":"input","type":"checkbox"} {"if":{"attribute":"enabled","op":"eq","value":true}}
