An IP inspector reveals the public IPv4 and IPv6 addresses your device uses when connecting to the internet, along with metadata your ISP and browser expose — including your Autonomous System Number (ASN), rough geographic location, and internet service provider name. Unlike private IP addresses assigned by your router, public IPs are visible to every server you connect to.

InfraHub's IP Inspector fetches this data using privacy-respecting APIs (ipify, ipapi) entirely in your browser. No information is logged, stored, or shared.

When you open the tool, your browser makes a direct HTTPS request to a public IP-geolocation API. The API responds with your current public IP address and the associated ISP metadata. The tool then renders this data locally — nothing passes through InfraHub's servers. For IPv6, a secondary API call checks your IPv6 connectivity status independently.

Developers use IP inspection to verify that VPNs are routing traffic correctly and that the expected IP range is exposed. Network engineers confirm BGP routing and ASN assignments. Security professionals check what metadata a target server would see before initiating a connection. Remote workers confirm their corporate VPN is active before accessing internal resources.
