# `disposable_email_from_anonymous_network`: a disposable address arriving over an anonymous network

The email is on a disposable-provider list and the request came through a VPN, a proxy or Tor.

- Appears in: `flag`
- Billing: Free. The consistency analysis is arithmetic over answers already paid for and never costs a credit of its own.

`is_anonymous` on the IP answer covers VPN exits, public proxies and Tor. Plenty of people use them for ordinary privacy.

The pairing is what carries the signal, not either half alone.

**What to do.** Weigh it where a durable, reachable address matters. Neither half is misconduct on its own.
