    The project directly references us, so it is only fair we provide more context. The idea of a pitch means that there is some sort of price attached to it, which IPinfo Lite does no…

    We do not comment to advertise. We participate in IP geolocation discussions because there is a lot of misinformation in this space, and we feel a responsibility to provide accurat…

    I work at IPinfo. We offer unlimited free requests through the IPinfo Lite API. By unlimited, I mean millions of requests per day. The free API provides country and ASN data. As fa…

    I work for IPinfo. We do not provide reputation scoring, by the way. Reputation is such a subjective matter. It would be easy for us to make a very quick sales if we start offering…

    Yes, we do use user agents to separate requests to our websites and API service. However, we request users to switch to api.ipinfo.io (dedicated API infrastructure) and use ipinfo.…

    You have to ask them. I tried but did not get a clear answer. We operate nearly 1,400 servers across almost 160 countries ourselves. From our perspective, it is VERY hard to mainta…

    I work for IPinfo. Even though we are in the VPN detection business, I will give Mullvad the benefit of the doubt, to be honest. They were one of the three VPN providers we found t…

    I used the same methodology to observe AI crawlers. This is not an investigative blog but is rather designed to address our (IPinfo) customers who are asking us to identify IP addr…

    --- Edit to my parent company --- I am scaling back this enthusiasm a bit. We need to work with mature organizations instead of individuals. We need SSH through a public IP address…

    We actually have app-based data collection capabilities and initiatives. Our goal, or more appropriately, vision, is to map the internet in real time. This involves SSH access to d…

    I work for IPinfo and we operate a distributed network consisting of around 1,400 servers. I think we have reached a point where it is extremely hard for us purchase VPSes from int…

    > I am assuming the inferred data, but that also feels counter-intuitive (since the data does not align with what ASN/ISP are reporting). That is a very good question. Now, geofeed…

    I work for IPinfo. We provide a free country and ASN database on a free tier with an unlimited amount of requests. You can download the entire database or use the API services. For…

    I work for IPinfo. Has our data been inconsistent for you? We actually invest heavily and continuously in data accuracy. I think for hosting IP addresses we are nearing the highest…

    I work for IPinfo. We track close to a hundred resproxy providers. So, if OP's router is compromised, the device IPs will likely be flagged. From what I know, whenever a router is …
