FWIW this website is 82% certain that my IP (university) is a VPN/Proxy/Bad IP.

The website says to only look at really high values ( more than 0.99 ) and everything below 0.90 is "low risk".
It's 94% certain the VPN endpoint IP my work VPN (only 25 people, university IP) is a VPN/proxy/bad.
That's correct, but not at all correlated with us being likely to commit fraud.
It's 79% certain the office LAN NAT gateway IP is a VPN/proxy/bad.
My work desktop's static IP gets 23%, so that's something.
My home IP gets 60%.
(Is this thing just connected to a random number generator?)
A lot of students have buyer remorse when they realize the money they just spent online could have been used more wisely. Unfortunately, when a network has a small percent of bad actors, the network as a whole is punished.
