Hello, I'm Andrew, owner of EmailDetective. I was looking for an API solution for email validation/scoring for multiple mailing lists. I noticed a lot of the email validation servi…

Its a simple cli in go It uses docker There is no k8s Handles certs Zero down time I would love for it to support docker-compose as some of my side projects needs a library in pyth…

I like the website. Did you start with a specific template?

Website looks nice! Looks like we are competitors, I run https://ipdetective.io . It would love to connect, I will send an email to your support so we can exchange numbers.

I've seen AI generated content about dog breeds, the content was absolutely horrible to watch and listen too. In the near future we will have YouTube videos that pride themselves o…

That's what I do, I think I provide a great product/service but also still want to get the word out. A marketing agency who will sell a bag of shit as long as they get paid is defi…

Nice, I like how simple it is! I provide a similar service but with more focus on bot/data center/VPN ip addresses. https://ipdetective.io

Shameless plug, if you do not want to spend the time aggregating all datacenter IP addresses you can use the IPDetective.io API to easily detect of an IP address comes from a datac…

I wrote a bash script to collect demographic information for everyone in the country using the us census. I also created a simple bash script to take notes following the zettelkast…

Love the story! Breath of fresh air and a similar trajectory I would like to take for my own startup. The slow burn is real and making meaningful connections to customers is import…

I ended up allowing a mechanism to exclude ip addresses for a specific user. The step after this is too have certain IPs excluded from the entire IPDetective list and not just for …

All of the IP are stored in memory. This takes up about 3.5 GB. I have a text file that is 445K lines that contains all of the specific IP addresses and the IP prefixes (CIDR) that…

Is you VPN installed in some type of datacenter or hosting service? If so thats how I am detecting it. Yes I am blocking all IPs from specific ASNs.

Is it your home dedicated ip?

It seems more affordable, I do not know if its more accurate.

I would like to expand. See what users need and pivot as needed. A cheap version of CF's proxy seems like an interesting start. I do not know if I have the expertise though.

I feel you. Maybe we could work something out.

Ahhh makes sense. I could definitely offer that it's pretty large being 250 million IP addresses. I wonder what the best format would be? Csv? SQLite?

Sounds good, this has been a common request and is definitely on the road map. I am trying to create a very fast service and data querying slows it down. With that being said I am …

I get the idea, seems like a hot topic in the comments and a solution is definitely possible. The "placing protocols to avoid abuse" seems like the most difficult part :).

Sounds like a great idea and an even better feature. Would that exception only work for you? Or would it also work for other users of IPDetective?

I would agree with everything you are saying. I did not start this service for the sake of stopping actual people from using certain websites. I started this service to mitigate/de…
