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."
This company is providing a horrible anti-service! 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."
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. T…
This is actually proof that it works as intended. Our scores are made to be consumed by web applications. In that context it makes sense that a cloud IP that's used to send mail would be treated with suspicion if it's seen trying to make a purchase on an e-commerce site.
I hope you choke on your own scores when a future-AWS-using-your-scores will deny your servers acces, because you accidentally sent an email from that server that was actually supposed to be doing something else.
Threats: 0
Trust score: 0 - High risk

It’s correctly distinguished between your home internet and a server. That’s the intention here, to discriminate against VPN users and bots.
Are you some kind of voyeur that likes to snoop in other people's private business?
Where I go in the internet is my business alone, just like were I go outside my house. And having an online version of China's social credit tracking me online to see if I behave is not a good thing.
You are providing a service that is actively diminishing (already brittle) internet privacy and I have 0 love for people doing that.
This is what I get for a public IP used for some of my websites: Threats: 0 Trust score: 0 - High risk I'm confused why it's considered high risk if no threats were detected. Maybe unknown IPs are considered high risk until proven otherwise?
So what this means is, "even though this IP hasn't been reported anywhere we still think it's high risk".

No, if your reputation is really bad you'll probably just be shown a captcha.
And if it doesn't, do you think that is a better solution, solving a captcha every 5 minutes? Just try using Google from behind a serious VPN provider, see how that works for you.
Also, what is your opinion on geoblock, do you think that is a good thing?
It seems you are one of the company's representatives that has never in his life consistently used a VPN or Tor, so you don't even know to what kind of restricted internet your company's products are leading to.

"Threats" is based on static blocklists. "Trust Score" is generated by a model. So what this means is, "even though this IP hasn't been reported anywhere we still think it's high risk".
If this could somehow be tied to credit score, it would really discourage piracy.
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 -…
