Just signed up with a temp email for your service... it didn't flag it. Nothing.
Created an account like it's a normal email address. It's not a good look to be honest.
Edit: Although your system does mark it as 100% temp email once you check it manually through your app.

@hristiank No service is perfect. It is not possible to know every temporary email domain in the world. You signed up at 13:19:35 UTC, and the domain you used was added to our database at 13:21:17 UTC after a regular check by the system. Your sign-up was marked 85% suspicious, and the recommended action by Trueguard was to quarantine this account.
It is something new. I like it, and I see several use case scenarios for that product. Are you the one and only solution doing this? Looks great! And the pricing seems to be affordable.

@michael_vavilov Thanks for the comment!
Overall, we are not the only ones doing it, but existing solutions were either way too complex or not sufficient enough. Trueguard actually got started as an inside product on my other SaaS, where we had a lot of free tier abuse. But quite quickly, we saw a need for a standalone product for other SaaS. So far, we have done over 60M email and IP analysis for crypto, AI, and SaaS companies.
@cml the best solutions are often born as an internal feature

🎉 Congrats on launching Trueguard! As a SaaS builder who's battled fake signups, I'm thrilled to see a tool that tackles temp emails and VPNs in one lightweight package. The AI scoring + rules engine combo is 🔥 – love how adaptable it is!
Quick suggestion: Have you considered adding a "behavior flow analysis" layer? Like flagging users who rapidly toggle between VPNs during signup? Could complement your device fingerprinting!
What's next on your roadmap? Would love to hear how you'll evolve the geolocation insights! 👀
Trueguard
@rocsheh Thanks for the comment and kind words.
We actually already have suspicious IP activity behaviour analysis when the user tries to find a clean IP during the signup.
We have quite a few things on the roadmap, for example: to finalize our network and device fingerprinting feature, webhooks to notify the service if we later find the account abusive (for example, we didn't identify the temporary domain initially), and more to analyze overall behaviour and linked accounts.
With geolocation, one of the next things is TCP handshake analysis to get the user's approximate location, even if they are using VPNs, etc.
a really cool tool. you might want to add your socials to the site - would add legitemacy I reckon.
upvoted. good luck with the launch, team @Trueguard

The email intelligence feature looks robust! I have a question about Proxy & VPN Detection, can it differentiate between legitimate corporate VPNs and malicious Tor nodes? Granular filtering would help avoid blocking remote workers.
Trueguard
@desmond_ren1 Good question. We currently don't flag any corporate VPNs. We only flag regular day-to-day VPNs like NordVPN, Mullvad, etc., that might be used to bypass multiple users per IP check. We don't recommend fully blocking users when they are using VPNs, as a lot of legitimate users are using them, but it is one vector that we take into account. But additionally, we provide high-risk IP scores for those IPs that originate from proxies, data centers, and more, as these usually originate from malicious sources.
