The Internet runs on unique IP addresses and ASNs, allocated by RIRs and tracked in WHOIS records. But registry data is static, inconsistent, and often unreliable for geolocation or ownership. IPinfo enhances these datasets with real-time measurements, privacy detection, and standardized intelligence—helping operators, researchers, and defenders move from assumptions to evidence.
