What is an IP fraud score?

An IP fraud score estimates how likely it is that traffic from an address hides where it really comes from, or comes from abuse. Online shops, banks, ad networks and sign-up forms use scores like this to decide whether to accept an order, ask for extra verification or block a visitor.

Here a score from 0 to 19 means low risk, 20 to 44 medium, 45 to 74 high and 75 or more very high. Unlike most checkers, this page shows every signal behind the number.

How the score is calculated

Each warning sign adds points. The total is capped at 100.

• Tor exit node: 90 points.
• Public proxy in the last 30 days: 50 points.
• Commercial VPN range: 40 points.
• Datacenter or hosting network: 30 points.
• Blacklists: 15 points for the first, 10 for each additional one, up to 60.
• Hostname that suggests a VPN or proxy: 20 points, or a server: 10 points.

Why is my IP's fraud score high?

If you use a VPN, proxy or cloud server, a high score is expected: it describes the server, not you. Turn the VPN off and check again to see your own connection.

If you're on a normal home or mobile connection and still get a high score, your provider may share one address between many customers, or a previous user of the address, or an infected device on your network, ran a proxy or sent attacks. Restarting your router often gets you a new address. If the problem keeps coming back, scan your devices for malware.

Commercial services such as IPQualityScore or Scamalytics also use traffic they see on their customers' websites, so their scores can differ from this one.

What is a clean IP?

A clean IP belongs to a home or mobile internet provider and isn't on any proxy, VPN, Tor or blacklist. Websites trust these addresses most, so streaming services, shops and social networks rarely block them or show CAPTCHAs.

If you need a VPN that websites don't block, choose one that offers dedicated or residential IPs, then check the address here after you connect.
