Public IP information

The IP information service brings you geographical and Internet provider information about the public IP address you are currently using. It is based on the content of the GeoLite databases from MaxMind and runs on OpenBSD.

What is GeoLite and MaxMind?

Quoting Wikipedia:

MaxMind, Inc. is a Massachusetts-based data company that provides location data for IP addresses and other data for IP addresses, and fraud detection data.

Updating the GeoLite databases requires an account that is managed by nogoo.me. MaxMind is not aware about the users of the nogoo.me service and the queried IP addresses.

Why should I use it?

A lot of web sites offer “What’s My IP” kind of services. Each time you use their service, there is a risk that they log, store and sell this information.

Enhance privacy: nogoo.me does not store or sell your information regarding IP queries.

Simple data: most other “What’s My IP” services renders bloated informations with Google Maps representation etc. nogoo.me renders raw text only. It is easier to parse and very low on bandwidth usage.

Advanced usage

To get the full information set, use the https://ip.nogoo.me on your Web browser or with a console utility:

$ curl https://ip.nogoo.me

The public IP address can fetched using the dedicated /ip path:

$ curl https://ip.nogoo.me/ip

A JSON format can be obtained using the /json path:

$ curl https://ip.nogoo.me/json | jq
