Humph. My home IP address which is shared by thousands of random people behind two layers of NAT, in Brazil, gets a score of "63, low risk". My mail server, on Linode in the US, which has had the same IP# for about 20 years and sends mail to GMail and Microsoft without problems (and only from a small group of people who never send spam) gets a score of "0, high risk". This is useless garbage, and dangerous to boot. The last thing we need is more arbitrary and unaccountable "reputation scores" being propagated by self-appointed and unqualified reputation judges.
This company is providing a horrible anti-service!<p>Random company website you are visiting: "We're sorry, we can't offer you access to our service today, as you IP score was below our required threshold. Please try again later and have a nice day."
Got a trust score of 100 for an IP address that's assigned to me through Latvijas Mobilais Telefons (LMT).<p>I guess that's perhaps one of the "benefits" of sitting behind CGNAT (from what I can tell), where nobody can host their own stuff and thus various sites (good or bad) hosted on residential connections and other interesting use cases aren't a thing.<p>It still doesn't feel too good to need cloud VPSes that act as proxies just so I can expose some sites from my homelab (e.g. a Nextcloud instance of D&D session recordings and other game details), even though for whatever reason it's still cheaper than asking the ISP for static IP addresses (e.g. a ~5 euro/month VPS).<p>That said, all of my VPS IP addresses (which I've had assigned to my servers for a few years) routinely scored 15-25 and landed in the "High risk" trust scores, even though they have 0 threats showing up. Guess running my own VPN to tunnel my connection through them might not be the best idea, if I wanted to do that in the future?
This is what I get for a public IP used for some of my websites:<p><pre><code> Threats: 0
Trust score: 0 - High risk
</code></pre>
I'm confused why it's considered high risk if no threats were detected. Maybe unknown IPs are considered high risk until proven otherwise?
I did some testing on 35.214.66.222, it says this could be an attacker because it's on the wikimedia blocklist. But it's on the wikimedia blocklist because it's an IP block owned by google, and wikimedia doesn't want google creating accounts.<p>That doesn't make a website server from this IP an attacker!
I don’t understand what this is or what the reputation really is. The site talks about threat intelligence and other marketing phrases. I hope I didn’t just give my IP to the site to just add to their database to show to their investors or worse data mine me somehow.
It matters because it changes the difficult of some hype drops for sneakers and stuff. That’s about it, also maybe how long the ip will last before it gets flagged as a bot
