Useful all-in-one view of IP information
From 3 comments
Nice, everything I need to know in one place. I'll bookmark this.
cmdrfred on HNVery useful and better than all those websites that come up on a Google search. Well done.
tequila_shot on HNLooks really cool, it's hard to get a complete view with most of the other tools out there. This is definitely a keeper. https://myip.ms/info/whois/212.51.131.143…

Port detection reports SMTP and other ports incorrectly
From 4 comments
Looks useful! There are some issues with the port detection on my IP address though: HTTP was 'disabled' (whatever that means, but it's open and apache is listening) and SMTP was…
lucb1e on HNYeah, the port detection seems to be a bit funky. It says my smtp port is open and I panicked a little bit, but everything is pointing out it's not open to the public.
embik on HNIncorrectly identifies that I have SMTP open...
newman314 on HNVery nice. Looks like the smtp port detection report is reversed though.

Geolocation is inaccurate

Positioning is so wrong. Places IP 800miles to the East from original location. Services practically undiscovered.

Entering an IP that is not shown with no click gives undefined
From 2 comments
My IP doesn't work. It says "undefined"
sidarok on HNYou have to click on the IP not just on "Analyse" with the empty IP field. Ran into the same problem.

Requests
Support hostname lookup as well as IP
From 3 comments
Nice! Suggestion: Accept host names as well, despite the name of the service.
johansch on HNHow about hostname lookup as well as by IP? Otherwise, pretty neat service.
niij on HNNo, allow us to enter a hostname instead of an IP address to look up. Obviously a hostname could resolve to multiple IPs or no IPs, but that's a solvable problem.

Open source the code
From 1 comment
Nice! Any chance of making this open-source? I'm trying to learn node-js and it looks like you've used a few node modules, so it would be handy to see how it's done.

Explain dynamic IP PBL listing with a warning

I ran this on my own IP (Time Warner cable dynamic IP) and was surprised to see I was in a Spamhaus list. I dug a little deeper and I found that the IP was in a PBL (Policy Block…

Questions
Is the MaxMind database used the free public set?
From 1 comment
It says you're also using the MaxMind DB? I assume this is the free, public set? (I still the value of the API.)

Why does the websocket stay open after data is downloaded?
From 1 comment
it uses websockets to get the information to the browser. a little weird, but whatever, my question is why does the socket remain open after the information is downloaded?
