Summary
216.26.250.56 is part of a VPN service's infrastructure. Visitors arriving from it are relaying their traffic through the service, so the address says where the tunnel ends, not where the person is.
The address is announced by 3xK Tech GmbH (AS200373) and geolocates to Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Why this address scores 90
It falls within IP ranges operated by VPN providers, so the address conceals where its traffic really originates.

What to do with this
If you run a site and this address showed up
Blocking VPN and proxy addresses outright also blocks real customers who use privacy tools every day.
If a visitor from this address disputes a block, look at what they did — the request pattern — rather than where they came from. Unblocking a disputed VPN address is usually the right call unless the behaviour itself was abusive.
You do not have to watch for addresses like this one yourself — the Predax Security plugin for WordPress checks every visitor against this same scoring in real time, and the WooCommerce fraud plugin does it for orders.
If you found this address in your logs
The real client behind this address is elsewhere; geolocation and per-IP identity are both misleading for it.
Expect many unrelated users to share this address over time. Rate limits keyed on it will throttle strangers together, so prefer account- or token-level limits for anything that matters.
