IP purity report
107.172.52.60
36/ 100
High risk
confidence: high
No blocklist or abuse records, but several traits point to a datacenter / proxy exit; platforms with strict risk controls will most likely ask for extra verification.
Based on signals observed from public and partner data sources at 2026-09-26 13:51 UTC. This describes IP-level risk only; platforms' internal risk data is not visible to us.

Suitability
What it is good for
Each use case weighs the evidence differently; these are not one overall score.
AI services
ChatGPT · Claude · Gemini
Best avoided
Main issue: IP type: Hosting / data center
Least tolerant of data center and proxy exits: more likely to get degraded service, verification prompts or account limits. Spam history does not matter here
Social sign-up
X · Discord · Telegram · Reddit
Best avoided
Main issue: IP type: Hosting / data center
Sign-up is the strictest checkpoint: data center / proxy exits are more likely to be asked for phone verification or refused, and IPs with bulk-registration history are blocked far more often
Streaming / short video
TikTok · Netflix · YouTube
Best avoided
Main issue: Known VPN exit
Native IP and low sharing matter most: a broadcast IP reads as a region mismatch, and shared exits get throttled
Gaming platforms
Steam · PSN · Epic · Nintendo
Best avoided
Main issue: IP type: Hosting / data center
Region locks, regional pricing and gifting all follow the IP's location, so broadcast IPs tend to be treated as cross-region; data center exits carry a high risk of restrictions
Cross-border e-commerce
Amazon · eBay · Shopee
Best avoided
Main issue: IP type: Hosting / data center
Linked-account store closures are driven first by shared IPs, and only then by data center ranges
Email sending
SMTP · marketing email
Not recommended
Main issue: Known VPN exit
Blocklists make or break deliverability, while sending from a data center IP is normal and is not penalised
Evidence
Why it got this score
- −25
IP type: Hosting / data center
Hosting / data center IPs are the main source of automated traffic
- What it means
- This IP sits in a hosting / datacenter range. Platforms assume real people browse from home or a phone, and machines live in datacenters.
- Which uses care
- Cares most: AI services, Social sign-up, Gaming platforms, Cross-border e-commerce; Barely looks at it: Email sending
- Why it is weighted this way
- The most basic signal there is: scrapers, bulk sign-ups and fake traffic overwhelmingly come from datacenters, so risk systems discount the whole range. It says nothing about what you did, only that you share the range.
- Can it be fixed
- The range type cannot be changed. What helps is not stacking other issues on top: stay off blocklists, close unneeded ports, avoid crowded exits.
- −20
Known VPN exit
Only 1 data source flags it as a VPN; the evidence is limited, so it counts at half weight
- What it means
- Commercial risk databases mark this address as a VPN server exit. Platforms see "someone on a VPN", not you.
- Which uses care
- Cares most: AI services, Social sign-up, Streaming / short video, Gaming platforms, Cross-border e-commerce
- Why it is weighted this way
- Only one source says so, and a single database can be wrong (public DNS resolvers have been mislabeled), so it counts at half weight. If a second source follows in a few days, this item doubles.
- Can it be fixed
- Self-hosted proxies on VPS ranges are often labeled block-wide; changing the IP is the only fix. Commercial VPN exits are labeled by design.
- −10
1 open ports
Includes admin ports 22: clear evidence of a server rather than home broadband
- What it means
- Scanners see ports open on this IP. With admin ports such as 22 or 3389 it is almost certainly a server, not a home router.
- Which uses care
- Barely looks at it: AI services
- Why it is weighted this way
- Mainly corroboration that "this is a server", which the datacenter item already charged for, so only a few points here; AI-type scenarios weight it at 0.3 to avoid charging the same fact three times.
- Can it be fixed
- Close or restrict ports that do not need public access (firewall, non-default port, fail2ban); scanners update within days, then re-check. One of the few items you can change yourself.
- −8
35 known vulnerabilities
Mostly matched from software version banners; it shows the machine is unmaintained, and platform risk systems do not look at this directly: CVE-2025-32728, CVE-2018-20685, CVE-2021-36368 and more
- What it means
- Scanners matched the version banners of exposed services to published CVE numbers. Most are just version matches, not confirmed exploitable holes.
- Which uses care
- Barely looks at it: AI services
- Why it is weighted this way
- It shows the machine is unmaintained, another sign of "server"; platform risk systems never count CVEs on an IP. Capped at 8 points (20 before 2026-09-26, which pushed ordinary VPS into "very high risk" for one fact charged three times).
- Can it be fixed
- Update the system and the services exposed to the internet (sshd above all); scanners update within days, then re-check.
- −6
rDNS looks like a server
Reverse hostname 107-172-52-60-host.colocrossing.com matches server naming
- What it means
- The reverse hostname follows server naming (server, vps, host and the like).
- Which uses care
- Cares most: Email sending
- Why it is weighted this way
- A light deduction: one more sign of "this is a server".
- Can it be fixed
- You can change the PTR in the host's panel, but it is only corroboration and barely moves the total.
- +5
Native IP
Registered and used in the same country, allocated directly by a local carrier
- What it means
- Registered and used in the same country, allocated directly by a local carrier: a "native IP".
- Which uses care
- Cares most: Streaming / short video, Gaming platforms; Barely looks at it: Email sending
- Why it is weighted this way
- A bonus: region-based checks will not trip.
- Can it be fixed
- An inherent attribute of the IP or its range; nothing a user can change short of a different IP.

Limits
What an IP check cannot tell you
- Each platform's internal risk labels
- Platforms keep their own IP reputation data and ban records and do not publish them. No hit in public sources does not mean a platform has nothing on this IP.
- Whether the IP is truly exclusive
- Sharing is only the number of devices observed in the same subnet. It cannot show who else is using this exit right now, or what they are doing.
- Which accounts this IP has been tied to
- Account-to-IP links exist only inside each platform. Accounts previously banned on this IP are invisible to us.
- Device, browser and behaviour
- Risk systems look at IP + device fingerprint + behavioural rhythm together. A clean IP with an odd fingerprint or behaviour still gets blocked.
- Whether the account profile matches the IP
- When sign-up country, phone number, payment method, language or time zone disagree with the IP's location, platforms verify further. That is unrelated to IP purity.
