- chipperyman573 8y agoFWIW this website is 82% certain that my IP (university) is a VPN/Proxy/Bad IP.
- Symbiote 8y agoIt's 94% certain the VPN endpoint IP my work VPN (only 25 people, university IP) is a VPN/proxy/bad. That's correct, but not at all correlated with us being likely to commit fraud. It's 79% certain the office LAN NAT gateway IP is a VPN/proxy/bad. My work desktop's static IP gets 23%, so that's something. My home IP gets 60%. (Is this thing just connected to a random number generator?)
- slivanes 8y agoA lot of students have buyer remorse when they realize the money they just spent online could have been used more wisely. Unfortunately, when a network has a small percent of bad actors, the network as a whole is punished.
- sloxy 8y agoI'm guessing it's more so that there's a lot of traffic coming from that IP that it was flagged as a proxy.
- blackice 8y agoThe website says to only look at really high values ( more than 0.99 ) and everything below 0.90 is "low risk".
