IP purity report
178.157.64.40
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 2026-09-27 14:35 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
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
Good fit
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
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
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
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
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.
- −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
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.
- +4
Very low observed sharing
Only 8 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.
- +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.
