A method includes detecting a first path between a user equipment and a first network entity. The method also include detecting a second path between the user equipment and a second network entity, where the first path is longer than the second path. In addition, the method includes determining whether the second network entity is a proxy server located between the user equipment and the first network entity based on an estimated value of the first path and an estimated value of the second path.
