### Anonymizer

{{< anchor-target schema--response--anonymizer >}}

235+
`anonymizer` is a JSON object that indicates whether the IP address is part of an anonymizing service or network. This data is available for GeoIP Insights only.

A score ranging from 1 to 99 that represents our percent confidence that the network is currently part of an actively used VPN service.
256+
257+
Currently we will only provide values of 30 and 99, but the number of values will increase as we improve our confidence ratings.
