Built for people who want to understand the internet
Free tools, plain-English guides, and honest advice
What is ExamineIP?
ExamineIP is a free resource for anyone who wants to understand how the internet works — what their IP address reveals, how to protect their privacy, how to fix common errors, and how the underlying infrastructure all fits together.
Everything on this site is free. There are no premium tiers, no feature paywalls.
The site is maintained by a small team. If something is wrong, broken, or could be explained better, we want to know — use the contact form below.
Our principles
Free tools
All tools run in your browser — no data is stored or sent to our servers.
Keep ExamineIP free
Running this site has real costs — hosting, domains, APIs for the IP lookup tools, and the time to write and maintain 60+ guides. If ExamineIP has saved you time or helped you fix something, a small donation goes a long way.
Every donation — however small — directly funds the hosting, APIs and time that keep ExamineIP free for everyone.
