Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about IP analysis, risk scoring, and using IP Quality.

What is IP Quality?
IP Quality is a professional IP analysis platform that provides real-time security assessment, geolocation data, proxy/VPN detection, and streaming service compatibility testing using the IP QualityScore intelligence network.
How accurate is the geolocation data?
Country-level accuracy is typically above 99%. City-level accuracy is usually above 95% for most IP addresses. Accuracy may vary for mobile, satellite, or anonymized connections.
Can I check IPv6 addresses?
Yes, IP Quality fully supports both IPv4 and IPv6 address lookup and analysis.
What does the fraud score mean?
The fraud score (0-100) indicates the overall risk level of an IP address. Scores below 25 are considered clean, 25-75 are medium risk, and above 75 indicate high risk. Scores of 90+ are critical.
Why is my home IP flagged as a VPN?
Some residential ISPs route traffic through data centers, which can trigger VPN detection. If you believe it's a false positive, you can report it via IP QualityScore's dispute process.
What types of proxies can IP Quality detect?
IP Quality detects datacenter proxies, residential proxies, mobile proxies, VPNs, Tor exit nodes, and bot networks using multiple threat intelligence databases.
How does the bot detection work?
Bot detection analyzes traffic patterns, abuse history, IP reputation across databases, and behavioral signals to identify automated traffic.
What streaming services are checked?
We check compatibility with Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Spotify, YouTube, and Apple TV+.
What AI services are checked?
We check accessibility for ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Cursor, Gemini (Google), GitHub Copilot, and Perplexity.
Do you store IP lookup data?
IP Quality does not permanently store IP addresses or lookup results. Queries are forwarded to IP QualityScore's API in real-time.
Is there an API available?
IP QualityScore provides a comprehensive API for bulk lookups. IP Quality uses this API for all analysis. Contact IP QualityScore directly for API access.
