We got most of the @ipinfo team together in Panama last week for our annual retreat. We’re fully remote and spread all over the world, so there’s something really special about getting everyone into the same place for a few days. We talked a lot about the progress we’ve made over the last year, where we’re going next, and some of the hard problems we’re working on. We also ate lots of great food, enjoyed some good drinks, and did a bunch of fun activities, including a party on a pirate ship (boat rides are an essential ingredient of every IPinfo team retreat!). And if it wasn’t already exciting enough, Panama threw in a major earthquake on the last day. It was a great week! Really proud of what we’ve built, the team behind it, and where we’re heading.

Our VPN exit node research made the top spot on HN!

Just back from an incredible week in Croatia with over 50 of the @ipinfo team. Amazing how much energy and creativity come from spending time together in person. Between the strategy sessions, boat trips, and late-night conversations, we left with new ideas, stronger connections, and a renewed sense of the opportunity ahead. Already looking forward to the next one!

It's also on the website, and the CLI

We now show a recently collected traceroute for every ASN and bgp prefix on our website. Real data, collected from our ProbeNet. More coming soon!

We now show the SSID and Airport info for major airport public WiFi IPs on the @ipinfo website - eg. ipinfo.io/198.134.98.50

We're launching @IPinfo Lite - taking some of our most essential data fields (country level geolocation and basic ASN data) and making them available completely free, without restriction, via both an unlimited API, and a download (JSON, CSV, MMDB and Parquet all available). While IPinfo Lite only includes a subset of all of the data we offer, there's no compromise to the data quality, or the refresh rate.

Having a lot of fun playing @reincdr's vibe coded IP location guessing game!

The @ipinfo probe network just crossed 400 cities! We're now at 929 servers, in 127 countries. Every new server we add helps drive further improvements to the quality and accuracy of our data, and provides deeper insights into what the internet looks like from the perspective of that server. We're now less than 5ms from 70% of all ASNs, and 20ms from 95%. Here's what our probe network looks like today:
