They know that I’m using this product that you offer(VPN)

[logger001]

I’m using the VPN. I can connect through a different browser, anonymously — it doesn’t matter. If I’m using Kaspersky’s premium service, they still know I’m on a VPN. How do they know??? Even a Minecraft server can detect it. Is this product a joke?

Amazon Prime can detect it, MAX as well. Imagine if I tried to use this service for a real purpose? A 5 dollar minecraft knows that I'm on a VPN, I already cleaned all cache, don't blame the cache...

@logger001 Welcome.

What is your geographical location ?

Also , ISPs as well as  Websites and Networks can block VPN connections.

Hi,

Brazil.

I understand that ISPs, websites, and networks can block VPN connections, but what confuses me is how easily even small services (like Minecraft servers) or streaming platforms are detecting it, despite me using a paid premium VPN service. I’ve already cleared cache and cookies, tried multiple browsers, and even used incognito mode, but it still flags me as being on a VPN.

Could you clarify if this is due to the VPN provider’s IP ranges being flagged, or if there’s something else I should check on my end?

@logger001 Hi,

Your screenshot is displaying “ Disconnected by Server “ 🤔  , please contact Kaspersky Technical Support and attach a WireShark Log

1. VPN IP ranges are known

VPN providers use big blocks of IP addresses.
Websites, advertisers, and security companies buy or scrape lists of these IP ranges.
If your IP matches one of those? Ding ding ding, they tag it as VPN.

2. Too many users, same IP

If hundreds or thousands of people appear to be using the same IP at the same time, that’s not a normal residential behavior.
Normal households don’t share their internet with 2,000 strangers.

3. Traffic patterns look “non-residential”

VPN nodes usually sit in:

• data centers

• cloud hosting providers

• server farms

Websites see those IPs and go:
“Hmm… that looks like a server, not a house.”

4. Missing fingerprints

Real residential ISPs have:

• predictable DNS

• typical latency ranges

• expected routing patterns

VPNs break that pattern.
Even without spying, websites just notice the weirdness.

5. Enhanced fingerprinting

Some sites combine:

• IP reputation databases

• browser fingerprinting

• TLS/SSL fingerprinting

• behavior analytics

So even if the IP is clean, the overall signature still screams:
“I’m coming through a proxy.”

So yes, VPNs hide who you are, but not that you’re using one.

 

Think of it like wearing a mask in public…
People don’t know it’s you, but they definitely know you’re masked.
