Whoer.net has removed the option to check IP's for blacklists.

They used spamhaus.org API for this and their database and that option is now gone because spamhaus started marking all mobile proxies as blacklisted.

So whoever is using residential proxies and whoer.net to check the blacklist before usage then be careful as you might not even notice it when you first navigate on their page:

spamhaus.org

My problem is dear how this company make money? I mean they just take everyone website and give a report about that. But who told them review a new websites popping on internet? What government gave that permission to them?

They have VPN service. They also have a lot of other services on their website.

I don't think you need permission for that.

Yeah I know. It shows my personal mobile connection is blacklisted too for emitting spam.

I never find Whoer as a reliable platform to check IP blacklists. Is there any alternative?
I don't think there is any good ones or at least something that is free to use, otherwise Whoer would have just switched from Spamhaus to a new one.. I might be completely wrong here but that is just my guess.

There definitely are free sites where you can check but most of them have been tied to Spamhaus like Whoer.net was.
 
I don't think you need permission for that.

That means I can also setup a .org website and keep doing the same service that they do for 10 to 15 years and I can blacklist their website (spamhaus) as well for blacklisting other people's websites. lol.

You could. But will other organizations take your 'blacklist' seriously?

Yeah. That's what I'm asking about that spamhaus service as well friend. That service has started somewhere in history right?
 
Some of my customers have complained about their IPs being blacklisted when viewing this site, indicating there is an issue
 
There is more to online business with regards to reputation than only IP addresses.

For example a lot of TLDs are on blacklists as well.

I read some of their reports on spamhaus https://www.spamhaus.org/reputation-statistics/

Spamhaus has updated their website recently. Now it looks modern.

And... if some TLD is on a blacklist it isn't immediately useless. It might just not work well on SOME sites.

Residential proxies from the internet are abused 99% of the time unless there's a fresh provider who just put their network to public lol.
Go to gmail and try to register a new account using those proxies. You'll not pass easily without phone verification.

I compared datacenter to residential results and they weren't much different. The only thing I did is that I picked not abused datacenter proxies from a very big pool with good location distribution (non-sequential subnets and networks, unique cities across the globe).

Edit: sorry, it will vary from site to site, but generally public IPs drive me crazy. Mobile IPs work on sites from Meta, meanwhile datacenter do better on YouTube.
