How to use this information
Confirm network ownership, observation time, and evidence sources before interpreting a classification or risk summary. Providers can disagree because they use different coverage, thresholds, and update schedules.
Match the result to the real symptom. Website reachability, streaming region errors, email rejection, account challenges, and wrong geolocation require different evidence. Change one variable at a time so the outcome remains reproducible.
Analytics, cookies, and advertising
The site may use cookies or local storage for language preferences, analytics, security, and advertising choices. When Google advertising is enabled, Google and third-party vendors may use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this and other websites.
Users can manage personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings and can also use browser controls to restrict cookies. Some measurements or features may work differently when storage is disabled.
Important limitations
An IP address can be shared, dynamically assigned, or recycled. Geolocation estimates the network exit, and VPN or residential-proxy detection can produce false positives and false negatives.
TrustIP does not log in to third-party accounts and cannot guarantee that a platform will accept or reject an address. Use the report to decide what to verify next, not as the sole basis for a high-impact decision about a person.
