IPure IP purity check

IP purity report

154.21.158.253

82/ 100

Fair

confidence: high

Usable; platforms with strict risk controls may occasionally show a CAPTCHA.

Based on signals observed from public and partner data sources at 2026-09-26 16:14 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

72

Good fit

Main issue: Known VPN exit

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

68

Borderline

Main issue: Known VPN exit

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

75

Good fit

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

76

Good fit

Main issue: Known VPN exit

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

80

Good fit

Main issue: Known VPN exit

Linked-account store closures are driven first by shared IPs, and only then by data center ranges

Email sending

SMTP · marketing email

72

Good fit

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

  • −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.
  • −6

    1 open ports

    Open ports: 20020

    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.
  • −5

    No rDNS record

    No PTR record; IPs allocated by established carriers usually have one

    What it means
    This IP has no reverse hostname (PTR record). Addresses allocated by established carriers usually have one.
    Which uses care
    Cares most: Email sending
    Why it is weighted this way
    A few points only: a missing PTR is a weak "unknown origin" signal, not a stain. Email cares more, since receiving servers check it.
    Can it be fixed
    Most hosts let you set a PTR in the control panel; set it to a sensible hostname.
  • +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.
  • +8

    IP type: Residential

    Residential broadband is the IP type risk systems trust most

    What it means
    A residential, mobile, education or government network address: the kind of source risk systems trust most.
    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
    A bonus: the vast majority of real people come from these networks, so the default stance is to let them through.
    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.
