Rank on this site compared only with IPs checked here, not the whole internet

16,814 IPs were checked here in the last 90 days; 14% of them score lower than this one. The 1,410 IPs classified as Proxy / VPN average 53; this one is 7 higher.

Watch this IP: it is rechecked daily and you get an email when its type, purity score, blocklist hits or platform verdicts change (free, up to 5 IPs).

Rule baseline Computed from our own rules, not an industry average

An IP that only loses its type points scores 70 (this one is classified as Proxy / VPN). Yours is 10 lower; the gap comes from the deductions listed below.

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.

MuseDependsMuse is confirmed open in the US and Canada; there is no evidence Japan is open, and signing up from there is likely to land on the waitlist
