Analysis

The following real-time risk analysis of 174.64.199.79 is unique and independent from any crowd-sourced blacklists or existing IP address scoring systems.

GhostProxies automatically processed the available proxy history data for this IP and determined it has a high-level risk for malicious fraud and hacking activity.

The calculated risk level result was 2, the highest level of risk, instead of either the lower level 1 or the minimum level 0.

The risk level may decrease to 1 if there aren't any more proxies confirmed after a short period of 2 weeks.

The first and last confirmed proxies on this IP address used the anonymizing SOCKS networking protocol, so connections forwarded from this IP address are at a higher risk of click fraud, mail spamming and other illicit activity.

A proxy connection through 174.64.199.79 is likely to happen again since the last proxy was confirmed only 1 day ago.

Multiple confirmed proxies have been opening and closing on this IP for 15 days, making it a highly-active proxy server. It's likely to appear on IP blacklists and public proxy lists across the internet.

All proxy chains with non-persistent exit IPs are confirmed by considering the possibility of backconnect proxy server functionality.

As a result, the exit IP 174.64.199.79 reached a GhostProxies handshake server and was confirmed as persistent through a direct proxy connection on the open listening port 4145.

In other words, it didn't forward through a different proxy IP indirectly.

To navigate adjacently from 174.64.199.79, the previous IP is 174.64.199.78 and the next IP is 174.64.199.80.
