Products that do what Self-hosted free geoip service does
Hi HN, I wanted to share this simple python app that you can host using App engine and get a free geoip service. It's pretty easy to limit it to the free quota and run without costs. You can't query for a specific IP address but it becomes super useful if you can make that request from the user's side (browser, app, etc). It only has access to lat, long, city, country, ip address but I find those to be the most useful data points. Hope this helps.

The curl API for WorldIP is now live and completely free to use. You can hit it right from your terminal: curl worldip.io — returns information about your requesting IP. curl worldip.io/8.8.8.8 — returns details on any specific IP. The main differentiator here is that we aren't just wrapping another provider's API and reselling their data. We built and run our own global infrastructure capable of scanning the entire IPv4 space in about a day. Happy to answer any questions about the scanning infrastructure or the stack!

We've just launched an opensource golang `ipinfo` cli that lets you quickly and easily get IP address data from the cli. You can lookup geolocation, isp, carrier & vpn status for a single IP (in much the same way you can by `curl ipinfo.io`) but there's a bunch of additional functionality, including: - bulk lookups of IPs - summarize IPs (so get top ASNs, cities etc from a ton of IPs) - grepip subcommand to grep for IPs (v4, v6 and bogon flags available) - map command to map a bunch of IPs And more! See https://github.com/ipinfo/cli for more details and installation…

This is a proof of concept utility which allows you to expose local services to the internet at large: https://github.com/skx/tunneller In short it is a simple ngrok alternative, which you can self-host. Because it is a proof of concept it hasn't been tested extensively, but it seems like it will solve my immediate-needs. Of course it needs test, and structure added. But feedback can't hurt :)

Hi! I am sharing this because it may be useful to others. I created a simple Docker image that lets you easily expose a web app running locally on your dev machine to the Internet, via a proxy server. It is a self hosted alternative to something like Ngrok, which is a paid service if you use custom domains. A small server is cheaper than Ngrok (I use Hetzner Cloud and the cheapest server costs me 3€ per month). I use this method in particular to test HTTP verification with Let's Encrypt for a SaaS app running on my Mac. Hope this is useful :) Code:…

We recently launched a free tool that shows a summary of the top cities, countries, asns, routes and much of the other context that we (IPinfo) have for any IP addresses you paste into it. Sample results: https://ipinfo.io/summarize-ips/result?id=239e90aa-88b8-4476-84c7-bfd10ed2de3f You can paste any arbitrary text into the tool at https://ipinfo.io/summarize-ips and we'll extract the IPs. It can be useful for getting a quick summary of a set of IPs (eg. click on first google result for "public proxies", copy and paste the results into the tool, and see…
