```rust
#[non_exhaustive]
pub enum ProxyDescription {
    Cloud,
    CloudSecurity,
    Dns,
    TorExit,
    TorRelay,
    Vpn,
    WebBrowser,
    Unknown,
    Other(String),
}
```

Client proxy description.

Defaults to `Unknown` when an IP address is not known to be a proxy or VPN.

## Variants

### Cloud

Enables ubiquitous network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources.

### CloudSecurity

A host accessing the internet via a web security and data protection cloud provider.

Example providers with this type of service are Zscaler, Scansafe, and Onavo.

### Dns

A proxy used by overriding the client's DNS value for an endpoint host to that of the proxy
instead of the actual DNS value.

### TorExit

The gateway nodes where encrypted or anonymous Tor traffic hits the internet.

### TorRelay

Receives traffic on the Tor network and passes it along; also referred to as "routers".

### Vpn

Virtual private network that encrypts and routes all traffic through the VPN server,
including programs and applications.

### WebBrowser

Connectivity that is taking place through mobile device web browser software that proxies
the user through a centralized location.

Examples of such browsers are Opera mobile browsers and UCBrowser.

### Unknown

An IP address that is not known to be a proxy or VPN.

### Other

- `0`: `String`

Description of a proxy or VPN that is known, but not in the above list of variants.

This typically indicates that the geolocation database contains a proxy description that
did not exist when this crate was published.
