It keeps on flagging my network as having a poxy and vpn and if I put one on it says I dont have one on and same with the vpn. Its just reading old vpn IPs and using paterns to guess if someone is using one or not.

Company fraudulently and libellously lists IP addresses as being proxy or vpn hosts, or as having been detected engaging in "abusive behaviour". Provides no method to dispute that an IP is being used in such a way.

completly fake company , first give low ration (I tested with couple of friend on different IP) when they ask to create free trial account to show anything once u do they claim u had account before though non of us ever had and when ask u to pay right away. Just super scam avoid at all cost.

Only false positives.They would spot you have VPN service live, end of the world IP score get state suspicious as you might do bad things via it. What a joke :D

IPQS is a scam. They will backlist or list an IP as suspicious without any proof. The cannot even give you a log entry or offer any proof. At most they will say scan your network for bots. VPN's are still used. Getting off their list is quite hard and they do not offer a remediation. I mean SPAM HOUS CDL offers that. Most people in the modem world still sit behind firewalls and natted IP's. You know its a scam if they can offer not proof and the sales person calls you to offer a discount on their services. They have no legitimate claim to Cybersecurity other than their log collector suck information of public resources like a parasite.

Full of false positives.

NOT free. Searches resulted in no useful information. I was asked to upgrade (pay money) just to get the owner of the number. I consider this false advertising.

I had my home IP address falsely classified as "high risk", a "VPN" and a "spammer" and as a consequence had my registration for a web site cancelled, and had the administrator of that web site call me a "liar". I have since had an extended email correspondence with the Technical Director of IPQS who has provided no data whatsoever to justify the "VPN" and "spammer" classifications, and for the "high risk" classifications has provided a port scan (which does NOT match an independent port scan) and a browser profile (which matches my own PC but falsely claims I have bad-actor extensions installed), and has somehow extrapolated what are at best (even if the data was correct) mild indications of an untypical home user into a "high risk" user, a "VPN" and a "spammer". In short, their methodology apparently said (based on the flimsiest of evidence) that my usage looked vaguely like that of bad-actors, and thus I must be one too. This is akin to saying that someone is a thief based on the shape of their ears or the bumps on their head. Based entirely on this mis-classification, I then had my registration for a web-site cancelled, and the administrator of that web site explicitly called me "a liar". In short, my internet usage and reputation were both harmed by a false classification by this company of my internet usage as "high risk", a "VPN" and a "spammer". If you are a user of IPQS services, BE WARNED - since their classification is apparently based on extrapolation rather than any proof that will stand up in a court of law, you run the risk of being sued if you use their data to prevent someone using your services in any way shape or form that impugns their reputation. Edit 2024/2/5: IPQS response to this review ("Hi Paul. We tried to find protopia.co.uk. It does not exist anywhere. Please provide a valid domain/URL. Thank you.") is to deny my email domain name exists despite my having had extensive email conversations with their Technical Director using this domain name. It would seem that they do not understand that Domain names do NOT need to have an associated web site and can be used for email only. That is the level of their technical inabilities. Edit 2024/6/14: IPQS has now "flagged this review for containing harmful or illegal content." This is an honest review that can be fully backed up by extensive eMail correspondence with the Technical Director i.e. IPQS' most senior technical employee who was entirely unable to justify ANY of the technical analysis with hard evidence to support their negative assessment of my internet usage. I would also add that when I challenged their assessment they did not stand firmly behind what they claim is an evidence based assessment, but instead reset the classification to normal despite continuing to argue that their ongoing assessment still showing my IP address had malicious open ports and my browser had malicious extensions - neither of which were true. In other words, they did NOT have the courage of their convictions. Edit 2024/6/14: Trustpilot have now made a decision: "We’ve assessed your review for the reason it was flagged and determined that it follows our guidelines. Therefore, we’ve now put your review back online." It appears that IPQS "protests too much" and that TrustPilot deemed the reason for it being flagged as invalid. Edit 2024/6/14: Having had this review reinstated, I immediately received another email from David Mackler, CTO of IPQS, despite my having previously issued a CEASE & DESIST to him. In this email he begged me to withdraw this review because it was adversely impacting his business, and claiming (without providing the evidence he said he had) that two recent negative reviews here were from people who had told him explicitly in an email that they were scammers even though they posted a negative reviews here. I told him to: 1. Flag these false reviews and provide this evidence to TrustPilot in order to have these false reviews removed; and 2. To get the IPQS scoring methodology confidentially reviewed by genuine and acknowledged internet experts on the basis that they will publish a summary of their review regardless of whether the results are favourable or negative. We will have to wait to see whether IPQS has the confidence in their own methodology to do this. (After the previous edits earlier today, just how stupid is it to ask me to remove a negative review and expect me to do so rather than expect me to add this development here?)
