Hello,
I mean, the city is not correct. It is not Helsinki, but somewhere on the north.
Let's select a random hoster from this form kuroit. I replaced maxmind with geo from ipinfo.
For example, this IP 109.205.214.58. Kuroit states it is in Amsterdam, you placed it in Kerkrade. Ping is 3-4.

Yes, this one is indeed in Singapore, despite all other data—even their own docs say it’s in Hong Kong. The true location could only be identified through ping tests.
PS I get mixed results here... other locations in Singapore show high pings

**Hey guys! **
I hope you are doing well. We received a ton of submissions on our form for buying new servers: https://forms.gle/kNYr2MBL8zRPgNrJ8
Thanks to great suggestions from zGato, Gulf, and many other community members, along with many vendors who filled out the form, we have added a bunch of new servers.
If I was not able to buy a server from you that means that we are already your customer for that location or we have another server in that ASN. But if you are offering new ranges, new ASN or new location, do put that in the form, please.
We are approaching 1,000 servers in nearly 400 cities and are still very interested in buying new servers.

How do you control so many servers? Even on ansible it should be time consuming to distribute changes…
@Operable4829 after the recent update, ipinfo.io doesn't show your IP anymore on the homepage. Curious why that change was implemented.
I hope you didn't pay more than 7$/year per server.

I am not in engineering, so take my answer with a grain of salt. As far as I know, we do not make many changes to the servers itself. We have an initial setup, and data flows from the servers to our GCP infrastructure. All the data is stored in BQ and orchestrated via Composer. Job failures are logged in Composer.
We try to maintain a near 100% utilization of the servers.
By the way, we are hiring an engineer to own the ProbeNet. If anyone is interested feel free to apply: https://ipinfo.bamboohr.com/careers/55
We are trying to encourage users to explore our data. As you know, we used to have a JSON text blob there. This text blob felt a bit confusing and did not capture the full extent of the data we have. So, we are encouraging users to explore the data by visiting the IP pages. We are actually adding more information to these pages, so you can imagine the JSON text not looking super pretty.
If you are visiting our website to get information on your IP address, I would highly recommend you use the https://ipinfo.io/myip page.
We are actually trying to improve the look of this page and provide more information. So, if you have any suggestions or feature requests, please let me know.
Also, I recommend you check out the links at the footer of the page in case you miss anything new.
I wish! The more remote a place is, the higher the cost.
Our users need our data to be super accurate and reliable, so it is an acceptable operational cost for us. We are happy to pay for a server as long as it brings good value to us and improves our data quality.
Did you know your entire website is blocked through EasyPrivacy and Lightswitch05's hosts files for "aggressive tracking"?
Are you tracking IPs/customers outside your own network/site?
I mean I dont think so but wont hurt to ask.
It's a bad change in my opinion, I regularly used it to check my IP, didn't have to remember/look for some special page or click anything.
Those lists just block tons of services that can be used to fetch your IP or geo, like icanhazip.com is also on the Lightswitch05 list.
I see, thanks for sharing that page.
Dunno, but still preferred the old look, could get a lot of data at just a glance.
I appreciate the question. I am happy to have discussions like this because the majority of this community uses our data.
On the first question, yes, I know. On the second question, no, we do not.
The entire website should not be blocked by any adblocking service: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/3072
According to Easy List, our website is classed as a 3p category, meaning that websites making third-party calls to our API services from the front end could be blocked. However, the issue is that some browsers can not distinguish between 3p blocks and first-party API calls. The adblocking service has mentioned this as a browser issue.
Our users think it is wrong to block us. I believe only a couple of adblocking services actually block us.
Many privacy-focused groups and projects use our services to secure their services, hardening their firewall. This is a very complex discussion about security and privacy. Feel free to share your thoughts on the Github issues: https://github.com/easylist/easylist/issues/2865
No, we do not.
It is not possible to track users at the scale of our operation, which involves billions of requests per day.
Within our website, we do use standard marketing analytics tools like Google Analytics and some cookie-based stuff. The privacy policy is listed here: https://ipinfo.io/privacy-policy
I will share the feedback with the team. The project is running as an experiment. If you have any feedback for us on how to improve our UX, please let me know.
I appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions. The answer was informative and very detailed. Thank you.
Will this project useful to aid law enforcement team to visit data center and cease servers and harddisk more accurately in case of piracy or anti law related content or activity?
Will host object or reject or ban the services if someone involve in this project? Just asking if any known incidents so far.
You will pay if someone participate the network ping, based on ad revenue if anyone visit that ip address to enquire about ip, where they see the ads on their ip info page?
Typically abuse report goes to hosts (as my limited understanding based in few LET posts) who own the IP range, then host suspend some account, then suspended accounts holder sign up in LET portal, then we end up too many pages of conversation. So this project may help abuse reports directed to those VPS owners?
Will you also register abuse reports? Ask money to clean abuse reports? If not now, is there long time business plan around this project?
Glad you have 1000 plus systems participating, good luck to your venture.
No, none of the above.
Give this post a read: https://ipinfo.io/blog/probe-network-how-we-make-sure-our-data-is-accurate/
We use these servers to run pings and traceroutes to IP addresses. Based on the RTT and network metadata, we produce our IP metadata products, mainly our IP geolocation data.

How can I register an account at monacocloud.mc? I have not received a response to my email.
Hello,
We send you our data in your form.
We have services in the USA, LONDON, and GERMANY.
