in my website, i have a thing that makes user claim something i provide for them,
they can claim it once every 24h only.. but they are using vpn and claiming it from different accounts. i've blocked them from claiming from same ip but they are still using vpn and claiming it.. is there is any way to detect if they are using a vpn?

no authentication is needed to claim?
if you only check ip, impossible, no?
there should be services to detect vpn ips

I think a way is Hardware Detection no?
Certain things about the hardware a user can't change without basically breaking apart their system

there is, they just switch account and use a vpn
i did limit only 1 request per day for every ip address
but they are using a vpn and switching accounts
please ping when reply

yeah @American Shorthair if you only check ip address you can't stop them
that's why I am asking if you have authentication
if you have user_id when they login you can limit, no?
if it's just metamask login + ip change - you can't stop them
you need to find a service to detect vpn ip addresses
