IPure IP purity check

IP purity report

169.231.240.152

95/ 100

Excellent

confidence: high

No risk signals found in any dimension we check; the IP itself is not an obstacle.

Based on signals observed from public and partner data sources at 2026-10-01 02:24 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

80

Good fit

Main issue: Proxy IP

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

79

Good fit

Main issue: Proxy IP

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

88

Excellent fit

No notable obstacle found for this use case

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

88

Excellent fit

No notable obstacle found for this use case

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

86

Excellent fit

No notable obstacle found for this use case

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

Email sending

SMTP · marketing email

88

Excellent fit

No notable obstacle found for this use case

Blocklists make or break deliverability, while sending from a data center IP is normal and is not penalised

Evidence

Why it got this score

  • −15

    Proxy IP

    Only 1 data source flags it as a proxy; the evidence is limited, so it counts at half weight

    What it means
    A source marks this address as a proxy exit without saying whether it is a VPN, a datacenter proxy or something else.
    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, so it counts at half weight.
    Can it be fixed
    These labels are usually applied to whole ranges and are hard to clear by behaviour; moving to an unlabeled range is the practical fix.
  • −3

    Shared exit

    53 devices observed in the same subnet

    What it means
    Many devices share this exit. Whatever others do on it gets attributed to you as well.
    Which uses care
    Cares most: Social sign-up, Streaming / short video, Cross-border e-commerce
    Why it is weighted this way
    Cross-border e-commerce and social sign-up care most: shared IPs are the leading cause of linked-account bans.
    Can it be fixed
    Move to a dedicated or low-share exit; sharing levels vary widely between plans from the same vendor.
  • +3

    No open ports

    Network scans have not observed any open service on this IP

    What it means
    Network scanners have not observed any open service on this IP.
    Which uses care
    Barely looks at it: AI services
    Why it is weighted this way
    A small bonus: a small attack surface means fewer chances of ending up in scanner and abuse databases. Not evidence of home broadband; a well-firewalled server looks the same.
    Can it be fixed
    An inherent attribute of the IP or its range; nothing a user can change short of a different IP.
  • +5

    IP type: Education

    Education network IPs have clear ownership and little abuse

    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.
  • +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.
