Show HN: IP Tools (Ipaddress.to)

2•TemporaryMail•1h ago
After some struggle to find a simple, affordable and reliable network tools I've made a site called <https://ipaddress.to> and my goal is to make it easier for fellow devs and I'll explain the some of the features that I like the most below:

- Extension

One perhaps strange habit that I've had for a long time is that I like to know where sites are hosted and the country that it's hosted in. I used to have to do "tracert" in cmd and then use an online service to lookup the IP address, but with the extension I can check that directly in the browser extension.

Chromium: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ipaddressto-lookup/...

Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ipaddress-to-...

- WhoIs Lookups: https://ipaddress.to/whois/

This always used to be a hassle as you had to fill out an annoying captcha on a really slow page. The only downside that I have right now is adding support for the different TLDs as some don't have RDAP yet so I'm working to get this fixed.

- DNS Lookups: https://ipaddress.to/dns/

I used another site before, but they had such tremendously long caches that it made life difficult. Another strange habit that I have is to do regular checks while the DNS of a site is propagating and most services had a long cache that wouldn't let me do this as they would just present the same results from 15 minutes ago. I've gotten rid of this with a 1 minute cache and I've also done my best to improve the UI where you get to the see the full map.

- IP Address Score: https://ipaddress.to/score/

I run the website https://temporarymail.com (as you can perhaps tell from my username) and it's been a little battle to filter out the bots so I wanted to create a service that would give a quick score from 0-100. There are a lot of services like this out there, but they are tremendously expensive so this has been my attempt to make a cheap/free one.

I'm working on adding a lot more lists to make it more accurate, but this is a work in progress. This will also be somewhat expensive so my goal is to add a cheap paid service for a few dollars/month that will cover the server rent and the cost for the list.

Feel free to check it out and please give me some feedback on what I can improve as I want to make this a stable service that both I and other devs can use. :)
