Abstract:
Methods and systems are disclosed for dynamic detection of geo-location spoofing by a networked device, such as fraudulent client connections to a server, in which the connection is made using an internet protocol (IP) tunneling as may be provided by a virtual private network (VPN) connection. A user of a client device may employ spoofing of IP-geo location mechanisms and IP classification for various reasons, such as gaining access to services that are not allowed in certain locations (e.g., certain movie and television content providers); browsing server data while maintaining a higher level of anonymity; and performing fraudulent actions on the server. Detecting a false geographic location (e.g. as indicated by IP address) is helpful for improving computer system security, and for evaluating whether access to particular digital resources should be provided.

Claim (Index 2):
A method related to analyzing a network connection between a first device and a second device, comprising:\n determining, by a computer system based on one or more network data packets sent by at least one of the first device and the second device, a data packet transmission parameter associated with the TCP network protocol; evaluating whether the network connection appears to be made via tunneling, the evaluating being based on comparing a value of the data packet transmission parameter to a repository of one or more known data packet transmission parameter values for network connections made via tunneling; responsive to the evaluating indicating that the network connection appears to be made via tunneling, performing a latency analysis of the network connection; and generating a risk assessment regarding whether a geo-location of the first device is being obfuscated based on results of performing the latency analysis.
