An IP that only loses its type points scores 70 (this one is classified as Proxy / VPN). There are no other deductions.

Score deductions What was deducted, why, and which source said so

  • VPN−30
    The exit is a VPN  from ipapi.is、本地 VPN 名单

  • Broadcast IPRange registered in United States, IP located in Hong Kong, different (broadcast IP)

These two affect region checks only; they do not reduce purity.

AI platforms by the regions OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and Meta each list (Muse: the known US and Canada launch)

This page judges the queried IP by its region and network type; it does not measure the exit you use when visiting the platform. The home page checks the diagnostic request exit and response for some platforms. Account sign-in, chat and API inference are not verified.
