IP purity report
172.96.161.123
75/ 100
Fair
confidence: medium
Usable; platforms with strict risk controls may occasionally show a CAPTCHA.
Based on signals observed from public and partner data sources at 2026-10-20 01:57 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
Borderline
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
Borderline
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
Good fit
Main issue: IP type: Hosting / data center
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
Borderline
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
Borderline
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
Good fit
Main issue: IP type: Hosting / data center
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.
- −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.

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.
