can you pls elaborate your tech stack and where do host ? 1 .rust ( what server or hand crafted ?)
The site is hosted on Neptune Networks, another side project of mine for people to learn and experiment with BGP.

From where do you get your geolocation information? I've been using the free MaxMind GeoLite2 databases and the GeoIP2 Python API for this kind of thing, but for a lot of IP addresses that I'd like to map, I can only get down to the country (and even some of those seem suspect). Is there any rate limit for queries?
I have yet to see a geo-ip address for my IP that shows me even on the correct side of the country. I wouldn't trust this information as far as you can throw it ... and I've had this IP address for nearly 6 years now.
Showing the start/ending address as part of the network would be helpful when looking up the network. That would avoid having to pull out a CIDR calculator when using this tool.

Can you check IPinfo.io, please? If we are showing any inaccuracy in your IP geolocation data for you, please reach out to us. We will fix that ASAP.
I don't see any way to report it though.
Nice, 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 informat…
Thank you for this! Much appreciated!
I am sure there are tons of similar programs, but here is one I wrote:

I added on a distance column.
Just yesterday, I added this: brew install jftuga/tap/ipinfo

How big is the MaxMind database ?

For example in Germany some carriers just give you a random IP from a pool that is used for half the country, and will give you a new IP every 24 hours. How would you geolocate those with a downloadable database.

yeah, it's very wrong. Showing "vpn: true" (actually a regular residential connection), wrong city, region, postcode, etc. Just like every other service out there. I don't see any way to report it though.
I forgot to add the link in my original comment. But as you mentioned we are showing VPN as true, that indicates a very interesting situation. Can you ping our support, please?
If you can also mention that, you came from HN, that will be fantastic. We will open an engineering ticket first thing Monday and look closely into this. The situation is unusual, and I am sorry about the inconvenience.
