Very nicely done. I like the simplicity of the page and interface.

#62can you pls elaborate your tech stack and where do host ?
1 .rust ( what server or hand crafted ?)

This mullvad thing is just another "what is my ip" service.
His site lets you download the entire database locally, for free, and without registration.

#66Feature request for any service like this: Let "me" know if it is a school, so I know that I am probably dealing with minors, a public environment and a firewall. Of course, you need to do the work (rDNS to start) to identify the schools. I love the speed of the responses!
IPINFO.io has that info, but I too would like to have this information in a free service.

#67Nice, I currently do "curl ipinfo.io" which returns json, and seems to use a more accurate geo lookup (based on the hotel wifi I'm currently on). It doesn't report the network though, and the ASN is a string of asn and name, no org or country, so that's a bonus. However curl ip.guide just returns blank (there's a redirect). If you follow the redirect with -L the json isn't pretty-printed.
I work for IPinfo.
>the ASN is a string of asn and name, no org or country
Yeah detailed ASN information on the API level is available on paid tiers.
However, we have a free IP to ASN Country database that is updated daily and provides full accuracy. That database provides ASN, AS organization, and AS domain information.
I think the reason we don't have more ASN details on the API even though we provide more information for free in the database is because of the target audience and usability of the IP metadata.
Our API allows for tokenless API access for up to 1,000 request/day. There is no compromise with data accuracy. The goal is to be generally useful and extremely fast. Detailed ASN information is still freely accessible from the website, though. So, we have to balance out free API, free website information and paid API/database.
I have been reaching out to folks to adopt the free IP to Country ASN database, as it is free to use and provides full accuracy. If anyone wants to build a public API on top of the IPinfo free database that return more ASN information available there, they are more than welcome to that!

I work for IPinfo. We have higher level IP category information on our website for free.
We categorize ASN and companies/organizations based on 4 categories: ISP, Education, Hosting and Business. This ASN level categorization are done mainly from WHOIS and other public internet records.
We don't sub-categorize by schools, university, public research institutions, k-12 etc. The reason is accuracy. Even though I can understand the possible methods for doing this, the issue is that it can not be done reliably at scale.
As a data provider, from our end we hope to provide the highest possible accuracy and vouch for the service we provide. For this level of classification, we will generally request users to say what data they need from us, and we try to help them come to a solution that they have to build on their own. They can do whatever classification they want to do based on their personal level of tolerance for accuracy.

You'll have to follow the redirects since the site doesn't support HTTP, but just shipped pretty-printing.

#70Awesome, bookmarked! Would it be possible to list all announced IP ranges for an AS?
Disclaimer I work for IPinfo.
If you can download the free IPinfo IP to ASN database CSV file. You can run the following command to get the IP ranges of an ASN.
```
grep AS19551 asn.csv | ipinfo range2cidr | cut -f1 -d ','
```
You will need to install the IPinfo CLI to convert the IP range to their CIDR equivalent. I believe the range2cidr command is also available as a standalone binary as well.
After that, you might want to aggregate the IP ranges to bigger ranges. I have used this in the past for this:
