Comment on Check Your IP Reputation Score

Comments

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.

For context, a few months ago we launched our Blocklists [0] feature which allows users to query 100+ blocklists and find all the ones where an IP address has been listed.

Blocklists based threat detection is however limited since they cannot contain every possible bad IP which leads to a lot of false negatives.

To fix this we created an IP Reputation scoring model [1] and currently provide 4 scores.

- Trust Score - VPN Score - Proxy Score - Threat Score

The Trust Score simply aggregates the other 3 scores and is a value from 0 - 100, with 100 being a very high reputation IP address.

What he is basically saying is that they are the gatekeepers of the internet now and will decide for you if you are trustworthy.
