Guys somebody here has experience in proxy servers? How can I

detect if my users are using proxy servers to mask their identity?

It's a web project, I know I could try to detect the forwarded for headers, or even through webrtc, but those two can be spoofed, is there any reliable way to do this or should I rely on the detection systems from third part tools? Afaik those tools does not analyze the connection but they do analyze the IP itself against several databases to check if has been reports, etc, is this the better approach?

There is a lot of APIs that can detect if someone is using a Proxy or VPN, this is one example. https://vpnapi.io/ But, it's really hard to get the real IP.

comparing the time reported by the user's device with the time of the location associated with the IP address of the user's request. If the time reported by the user's device does not match the time of the location associated with the user's IP address, it could indicate that the user is using a VPN or proxy to access your system
