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

Earlier quoted context omitted.

isn't icloud relay just a vpn?

It's an Apple VPN, which makes it special since you usually don't want to piss off Apple/iOS users with "anti-bot" crap.

Tied to a unique and expensive Apple hardware serial number. It's a reputation-certification VPN.

no.

Source: I work for IPinfo. We don't do "IP Reputation Score". We provide the attributes/insights related to an IP address, the user makes the decision of how to use that information.

For me it says “error, not connected to internet”. Or just doesn’t run.

Why are "tor", "vpn", "iCloud relay", and "datacenter" considered threats?

They are threats to those who think that geoblocking is a good thing.

Same. It must have been HN hugged.

Got a trust score of 100 for an IP address that's assigned to me through Latvijas Mobilais Telefons (LMT).

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.

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).

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?
