IP quality check

How it works

What this check tells you

How the score works

Every IP starts at 100 and loses points only for something found, down to 0. 85 and above is Clean, 70–84 Good, 50–69 Fair and below 50 Risky.

A signal that could not be checked costs nothing, and the breakdown lists every deduction. The use-case ratings follow the same signals: a datacenter IP alone makes all three account use cases Not recommended, while web data collection tolerates datacenter and broadcast IPs and ignores the browser and exit checks.

This browser also asks a few public services which IP they see: Cloudflare (1.1.1.1), ipify and icanhazip, over IPv4 and IPv6. If they disagree, part of your traffic leaves through another connection. An IPv6 exit is only called a leak when both countries are known and differ; without IPv6, nothing is deducted. Platform reachability shows whether TikTok, Instagram and other sites answered and how fast, and never affects the score.

ISP networks and datacenter networks

Every IP address is registered to a network. Home broadband, mobile carriers and Static ISP proxies use addresses registered to internet providers. Cloud servers, most VPNs and many low-cost proxies use addresses registered to hosting companies: datacenter IPs.

Sites that guard logins, payments and ad accounts know which ranges belong to hosting companies. This check compares the IP with public lists of datacenter and VPN ranges. It can tell a datacenter from an ISP network, and names a mobile network when the provider's registered name says so, but it cannot tell a home connection from a Static ISP proxy: both sit on the same providers' networks.

Native and broadcast IPs

Address blocks are handed out by five regional internet registries, each block registered to a country. A native IP is located in the country it is registered to. A broadcast IP is registered in one country and announced and used in another, which is common for global hosting and some proxy networks.

Some platforms check this for accounts, so a broadcast IP costs a few points. When either country is unknown, the check says so instead of guessing.

WebRTC and timezone

WebRTC lets browsers make calls directly, and any page can read the public address it reports. If your proxy only carries normal web traffic, that address can be your real connection, so a site sees two IPs at once. Antidetect browsers can replace it with the proxy's IP or turn WebRTC off; our antidetect browser guides show where. "Not detected" is a good sign, not a guarantee.

Your browser also tells every site its timezone. We compare the current UTC offset, so New York and Toronto still match. Language is shown as a hint only. These checks describe the device you are using, which is why this page only checks your own connection. To score any other IP, use the IP lookup.
