An investigation using Silent Push's Traffic Origin and residential proxy data revealed a suspicious Chinese VPN provider. The analysis focused on IP address 205.198.91.155, which showed unusual traffic from Russia, China, Myanmar, Iran, and Venezuela. This IP was linked to the domain lvcha.in, hosting a Chinese-language VPN. Further investigation uncovered nearly 50 related domains promoting the same VPN, suggesting attempts to bypass country-level firewalls. The VPN's infrastructure was found to use residential proxies and had connections to various high-risk countries. This case study demonstrates the importance of verifying physical and technical behaviors of connections to protect against fraud and state-sponsored actors using stolen identities and spoofed locations.
