Is AirVPN Detectable? IP List & Live Check
Jurisdiction: Italy. Protocols: OpenVPN, WireGuard, SSH-tunneled OpenVPN, SSL-tunneled OpenVPN.
Detection rate: Very high (≈99%)
AirVPN publishes its relay list (or .ovpn bundle), so we ingest every active exit IP directly from the source — typically every 6–12 hours. Match precision is ground-truth: an IP is on the list or it isn't.
About AirVPN
Italy-based community-run privacy VPN. Known for port-forwarding, SSH/SSL tunneling, and transparent exit-node listings. ~255 servers across 24 countries with both IPv4 and IPv6 endpoints (1,000+ IPs each). Iplogs.com ingests airvpn.org/api/status every 12 hours — every active AirVPN exit IP across all four interface slots is matched via the high-precision vpn_relay_list signal.
Will AirVPN get me banned from Netflix, Stripe, or sneaker sites?
Detection by a service does not always equal a hard ban — most services step up authentication, throttle, or shadow-block. Here is what to expect across common surfaces:
AirVPN exits are routinely on the geo-evasion blocklists used by major streaming services. Expect "VPN detected" interstitials on most catalog regions.
Yes — likely flagged. Most sneaker bot-protection vendors use commercial VPN aggregator feeds; AirVPN traffic is normally either blocked outright or fast-laned into the bot queue.
Almost always step-up. Stripe Radar specifically scores VPN/proxy IPs as elevated risk. AirVPN doesn't auto-decline you, but expect more 3DS challenges.
Often blocked at signup. Account-recovery and posting from AirVPN usually requires phone verification.
Almost universally flagged. KYC vendors (Persona, Onfido, Sumsub) treat AirVPN as elevated fraud risk regardless of detection accuracy.

Check a specific AirVPN IP
Paste any suspected AirVPN IP into the home-page checker, or hit the API directly:
curl -X POST https://iplogs.com/v1/check \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
-d '{"ip":"<AirVPN IP>"}'The response includes vpn_provider (set to "AirVPN" for a confirmed exit) and vpn_provider_sources[] listing every feed/probe that matched.
Frequently asked questions about AirVPN
+Is AirVPN detectable in 2026?
very high detection rate (≈99%). AirVPN publishes its relay list (or .ovpn bundle), so we ingest every active exit IP directly from the source — typically every 6–12 hours. Match precision is ground-truth: an IP is on the list or it isn't.
+Will AirVPN get me banned from Netflix, sneaker sites, or banking apps?
Streaming and sneaker queues regularly block commercial VPN exits — including AirVPN's. Banking and KYC vendors almost always flag it as elevated risk. For everyday browsing it's fine; for any account-creation, payment, or geo-restricted streaming, expect step-up auth or outright blocks.
+How many AirVPN IPs does IPLogs cover?
Every published AirVPN exit IP across IPv4 and IPv6, refreshed every 6–12 hours from the official source.
+Does AirVPN use residential IPs?
No. AirVPN runs on datacenter / hosting infrastructure (typical for commercial VPNs). Some providers rent partner-datacenter capacity, but the underlying IPs are still hosting-classified — that's how aggregator feeds catch them.
+How do I detect AirVPN on my own site?
Hit the IPLogs public API: `POST https://iplogs.com/v1/check` with body `{"ip":"<visitor-ip>"}`. The response includes `vpn_provider` (set to "AirVPN" for a confirmed exit) and `vpn_provider_sources[]` listing every feed/probe that matched. See /docs for client examples in curl, Python, Node.js, and Go.
+Can I block AirVPN traffic without blocking legitimate users?
Yes — block at sensitive write paths only (signup, payments, password reset). Allow read traffic, and step up authentication when the verdict is vpn_detected. See our copy-paste recipes for Cloudflare WAF, Nginx, and Stripe Radar at /guides/block-vpn-traffic.
