ipinfo.tw

A self-hosted, non-tracking, and ad-free solution to reveal client-side IP info like IP address, conuntry, AS number/description, and additionally, user agent.

Demo

This project is also hosted publicly on https://ipinfo.tw, feel free to give it a try!

Please note that for privacy concerns, this demo is behind an reverse proxy with https enabled, which is not part of this project. http traffic will be redirected to use https to establish the connection, in case the plaintext data being snifferred/intercepted.

Usage

Server side

Run the server daemon via docker:

docker run -d --name ipinfo.tw -p 80:80 peterdavehello/ipinfo.tw:latest

If you want to put this container behind reverse proxy, set up an X-Real-IP header and pass the it to the container, so that it can use the header as the IP of the client.

Client side

Use any http(s) client to explore the server, e.g. https://ipinfo.tw,

wget -qO- https://ipinfo.tw
curl https://ipinfo.tw

Without any specified URI, the server will return IP address, country, AS, and user agent.

If you prefer to receive a machine-readable result, use path /json, e.g. https://ipinfo.tw/json, the result will look like:

{"ip":"3.115.123.234","country_code":"JP","country_name":"Japan","asn":"16509","as_desc":"Amazon.com, Inc.","user_agent":"curl/7.58.0"}

You can also specify the following URI to retrieve certain info:

ip: IP address
country: Country code and name
country_code: Country code
country_name: Country name
as: AS number and description
asn: AS number
as_desc: AS description
user_agent: User agent string

$ wget -qO- https://ipinfo.tw
157.230.195.167

AS14061 / DigitalOcean, LLC
Wget/1.17.1 (linux-gnu)

As mentioned above, if https:// is not specified, connection will be redirected from http to https, in this case, curl will need an additional parameter: -L/--location to follow location redirection.
