Privacy & threat intelligence
Privacy data determines if an IP address is likely to be a VPN, proxy, or Tor exit node, or is a known spammer or abuser.
Privacy data is sourced from a combination of public databases and our own proprietary detection systems.
Company
Company data provides information on the organization that owns an IP address. For business IPs, this can include the company name, domain, type of business, and more.
ASN & Abuse Contact
An Autonomous System Number (ASN) is a unique identifier assigned to a network or a collection of networks that are all managed, controlled, and supervised by a single entity or organization.
ASN and abuse contact data — used to report malicious activity — comes from Regional Internet Registries (RIRs).
FAQs
An IP address is a numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. IP addresses serve two main functions: identifying the host or network interface, and providing the location of the host in the network.
IP addresses function like postal addresses but for devices on the internet. When you send or request data online, your IP address tells the network where to send the data. There are two main types: IPv4 (like 192.168.1.1) and IPv6 (like 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334).
With your IP address, someone can determine your approximate location (sometimes down to the city-level) and your Internet Service Provider. However, they cannot access your personal information or exact physical address without additional data.
IPv4 addresses look like four sets of numbers separated by periods (e.g., 192.168.1.1). IPv6 addresses use eight groups of hexadecimal digits separated by colons (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334). IPv6 addresses can be shortened by removing leading zeros and replacing consecutive zero groups with double colons (::).
From your IP address, someone can typically determine your general location (city/region), your Internet Service Provider, and whether you're using a proxy or VPN.
