IP purity report

154.40.45.102

49/ 100

High risk

confidence: high

Most platforms will add verification or block outright; consider replacing it.

Based on signals observed from public and partner data sources at 2026-09-27 15:11 UTC. This describes IP-level risk only; platforms' internal risk data is not visible to us.

VPN exit

Profile

Reverse DNS: none
Devices seen in subnet: 4

Suitability

What it is good for

Each use case weighs the evidence differently; these are not one overall score.

AI services

ChatGPT · Claude · Gemini

—

Region not supported

ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini are not offered in this region and it cannot connect directly; a clean IP in a supported region is needed

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

Not recommended

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

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: 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

Not recommended

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

Borderline

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.
−15
Broadcast IP
Range registered in US but used in HK (announced across borders)
What it means
The country the range is registered in differs from where it is actually used. Common when an international host uses a range registered in country A inside country B, or when a proxy vendor leases ranges.
Which uses care
Cares most: Streaming / short video, Gaming platforms; Barely looks at it: Email sending
Why it is weighted this way
Region-sensitive platforms (streaming, region-locked gaming) care most: they cross-check several geo databases and treat a mismatch as "wrong region". Little effect on scenarios that ignore region.
Can it be fixed
This is a registration attribute of the range and cannot be changed by the user. Platforms use different geo databases, so some may not notice at all.
−6
Abuse reports (abuseipdb)
Confidence 12%, 5 reports in the last 90 days
What it means
Someone reported this IP to an abuse database (AbuseIPDB), typically for SSH brute force, port scanning or comment spam. The reporter may have seen a program on this machine, or a previous tenant.
Which uses care
Cares most: Social sign-up, Email sending
Why it is weighted this way
Counted at half the database's confidence. Sign-up scenarios care most: IPs with bulk-registration or credential-stuffing history are their first priority to block.
Can it be fixed
Reports age out; with no new reports for 90 days the score drops. If your machine is the one scanning, check for implanted software first.
−6
3 open ports
Open ports: 111, 3128, 8006
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.
−3
IP type: Business broadband
Business broadband is broadly trusted, though a small share are proxy exits
What it means
A business broadband address: generally trusted, though some corporate exits are used as proxies.
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 small deduction meaning "slightly less certain than residential".
Can it be fixed
An inherent attribute of the IP or its range; nothing a user can change short of a different IP.
+4
Very low observed sharing
Only 4 devices observed in the same subnet
What it means
Only a few devices were observed in the same subnet. Your behaviour mostly represents you alone.
Which uses care
Cares most: Social sign-up, Streaming / short video, Cross-border e-commerce
Why it is weighted this way
A small bonus. This is an observation, not proof of true exclusivity.
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.
