TrustpilotIP reputation is how trustworthy an IP address looks to websites, mail servers and anti-fraud systems, based on its network, its history and any blocklists it appears on. Good reputation means ordinary treatment; poor reputation brings CAPTCHAs, extra checks and blocks.
No single authority keeps one reputation per IP. Each site, CDN and security vendor builds its own view from the signals it can see, and many share data through commercial feeds and public blocklists. The main inputs are:
Many vendors condense these signals into one number per IP, the fraud score. Reputation is the wider picture behind it.
A proxy inherits whatever reputation its IP already has. A clean IP gets the same pages a regular visitor gets; a burned one returns CAPTCHAs, 403 responses or empty results before you have sent a single unusual request. On a shared proxy, other customers keep shaping that reputation while you use it.
Reputation is also something you build. Steady, reasonable request rates from a dedicated IP keep its history clean; bursts that hit a site's rate limits add negative history that lasts. Check a new IP before you rely on it:
CleanProxies static ISP proxies are 100% dedicated IPs on US carrier ASNs, never shared, so their reputation depends on your own traffic and nobody else's.
The CleanProxies proxy that fits best here, with a $4.99 trial to test it first.
Dedicated IPs on US carrier ASNs with unlimited bandwidth and threads, never shared.
Dedicated static IPs registered to US and Canadian ISPs. The address stays the same for as long as you hold it, with unlimited bandwidth and HTTP(S) or SOCKS5 access.

Straight answers about IP reputation.
Check it against DNS-based blocklists, look up its ASN and organisation, and test it on the sites you plan to use. A blocklist check alone misses each site's own history for the IP.
