I appreciate you enjoying the game! I work for IPinfo but initially made it as a sort of meme for our users. I'm generating random IP addresses on the frontend, then making an call to our free API to validate the "realness" o

The kind of blocking I'm referring to is IP metadata-based, not blanket country bans. I specifically mentioned that a single `/24` subnet was responsible for ~10% of brute-force attempts in my honeypot. That doesn’t mean I’d block

Oh, absolutely not — I have to respectfully but strongly disagree with that sentiment. In cybersecurity, decisions must be guided by objective data, not assumptions or biases. When you’re facing abuse, you analyze the IPs involved and enric

I work for IPinfo (a commercial service). We offer a residential proxy detection service, but it costs money. If you are being bombarded by suspicious IP addresses, please consider using our free service and blocking IP addresses by ASN or

"Surprisingly relaxed," you say. Let me tell you about the time our users reverse-engineered our apps, submitted 2.2 million IPs, and broke our systems for our hackathon. https://ipinfo.io/blog/ipinfos-ip-hunt

Thank you very much! I appreciate talking with you in the other thread! I told the repo owner not to worry about "spamming" our service. We are happy to support as many requests as people can throw at us. Internally, when it comes

My apologies if it seems like I'm speaking like a corporate bot. I always try to be as respectful as possible. To be completely honest, the decision to make changes to the homepage was quite difficult for us, but we are trying to figur

Yes, but we also operate 1,000 servers across 400 cities in 130 countries to generate one of the most comprehensive internet measurement datasets possible and process more than 2 trillion yearly API requests. Still, we really appreciate use

Our priority is always the developer experience and I apologize for the friction you are seeing here. The issue is that we are truly in a unique space when it comes to internet data. We have gone through several iterations on how to present

We are experimenting with some design choices as we try to highlight all the IP metadata we have and move towards being an "internet data" company instead of just an IP location company. I highly recommend you check out the page:

When it comes to mirror sponsorships, we (IPinfo) offer IP location data sponsorship. We spoke with Alma Linux and they used our IP location data to route traffic for their mirror system: https://almalinux.org/blog/2024

We operate nearly 900 servers, and I believe the capital of cloud infrastructure is Amsterdam, NL. The concentration of ASNs in Amsterdam is incredible. In contrast, Ashburn, Dallas, and LA seem to lack ASN diversity, primarily being domina

We (IPinfo) run active measurements through our 900 servers and produce a standard IP geolocation data product. However, to my knowledge, we haven’t partnered with any organizations or institutes to support a project like this, although we

Well, it is not just "can" be done, but we at IPinfo actively measure the internet and produce IP geolocation data. Sure, there are some limitations with satellite, microwave, and certain WAN-based connections, but it is the best

Aside from comparing assigned public IP addresses regularly, I think we (ipinfo) probably have this data internally, or at least we can figure it out. We are pinging and running traceroutes on every IP out there to figure out IP geolocation

I work for IPinfo and am trying to find out if any open-source projects would implement this feature, particularly in a status bar configuration. The implementation will be super simple. Set up your local IP address or IP address range (if

In the context of public information, our API service is used in some OSS LLM projects. I believe the intention behind using our data to contextualize interaction and the user's location background.

Awesome. We’ve integrated with platforms like GCP BQ, Snowflake, Clickhouse, and Postgres etc. and still, MMDB stands out as the most performant, especially for enriching millions of IPv6 addresses. The best approach might be to enrich IP a

Tried it. I think it is marginally better than SQLite, but it is not the best solution. I work for IPinfo and was quite excited when they added support for the IP address data type. However, at the end of the day, the most efficient lookup

As we operate 720+ servers running ping and traceroute continously, I will try to see if we can publish intra provider or intra asn latency data like this but on a massive scale. We have a ton measurement internally but to publish them as a

Accuracy is difficult to measure, but ours is the best in the industry because we use active measurement. We verify our IP geolocation data with voluntary device location data backed by GPS coordinates, but putting a universal figure on the

I will describe what we do at IPinfo to avoid such a messup. First of all because we do active measurements and our data is usually less prone to errors like this and when it comes to IP location it is as good as it gets. We have a support

We have a CLI as well: https://github.com/ipinfo/cli It has a ton of bells and whistles, including summarize IPs, bulk enrichment, grepip, and a ton of network-related tools. I was writing a series of blog posts on the

I (DevRel of IPinfo) run Fail2Ban on a VM as well. Protip use the CLI. - The CLI has the `grepip` command that extracts all the IP addresses from a text. You do not have to parse your logs. - Analyze your data. After you have extracted your
