IP purity report
38.45.155.85
86/ 100
Clean
confidence: high
Good reputation; at the IP level it rarely draws extra verification.
Based on signals observed from public and partner data sources at 2026-09-20 08:51 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
Excellent fit
No notable obstacle found for this use case
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
Excellent fit
No notable obstacle found for this use case
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: 1 open ports
Blocklists make or break deliverability, while sending from a data center IP is normal and is not penalised
Evidence
Why it got this score
- −10
1 open ports
Includes admin ports 22: clear evidence of a server rather than home broadband
- 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.
- −1
Abuse reports (abuseipdb)
Confidence 2%, 1 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.
- +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.
