IP purity report
50.240.66.78
27/ 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 2026-10-06 21:35 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: 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
Borderline
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
Good fit
Main issue: Proxy IP
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
Good fit
Main issue: Proxy IP
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: Blocklist hit: Spamhaus ZEN
Linked-account store closures are driven first by shared IPs, and only then by data center ranges
Email sending
SMTP · marketing email
Best avoided
Main issue: Blocklist hit: Spamhaus ZEN
Blocklists make or break deliverability, while sending from a data center IP is normal and is not penalised
Evidence
Why it got this score
- −45
Blocklist hit: Spamhaus ZEN
XBL — compromised host / open proxy
- What it means
- A Spamhaus listing means this IP was confirmed sending spam, or the machine is compromised and being used as a relay.
- Which uses care
- Cares most: Email sending; Barely looks at it: AI services, Social sign-up, Streaming / short video, Gaming platforms
- Why it is weighted this way
- This is behavioural evidence, not a profile guess, so it is a hard cap and fatal for email. It carries little weight for scenarios that ignore mail reputation, such as AI services.
- Can it be fixed
- Fix the cause first (shut down the compromised service, remove malware), then request removal from Spamhaus; usually resolved within days.
- −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.
- −12
Blocklist hit: SpamRats
Listed by SpamRats
- What it means
- This IP is on a public blocklist. Most lists record addresses that sent spam or took part in scanning or attacks.
- Which uses care
- Cares most: Email sending; Barely looks at it: AI services, Social sign-up, Streaming / short video, Gaming platforms
- Why it is weighted this way
- A single aggregate list is moderate evidence, so about a dozen points; the email scenario more than doubles it because receiving servers query these lists directly.
- Can it be fixed
- Every list has a removal process, provided the cause is gone; some delist automatically after a quiet period.
- −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.
- −8
34 known vulnerabilities
Mostly matched from software version banners; it shows the machine is unmaintained, and platform risk systems do not look at this directly: CVE-2026-59997, CVE-2025-32728, CVE-2026-73282 and more
- What it means
- Scanners matched the version banners of exposed services to published CVE numbers. Most are just version matches, not confirmed exploitable holes.
- Which uses care
- Barely looks at it: AI services
- Why it is weighted this way
- It shows the machine is unmaintained, another sign of "server"; platform risk systems never count CVEs on an IP. Capped at 8 points (20 before 2026-09-26, which pushed ordinary VPS into "very high risk" for one fact charged three times).
- Can it be fixed
- Update the system and the services exposed to the internet (sshd above all); scanners update within days, then re-check.
- +4
Very low observed sharing
Only 5 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.
