About iplocator.dev

I'm Danny Vargas, a software developer, and I built iplocator.dev because every "what's my IP" site I landed on was either covered in pop-ups pushing a VPN, or hiding the actual information behind three scroll-screens of SEO filler. I just wanted to see my public IP, my approximate location, my ISP, and whether the VPN I'd just turned on was actually working.

So this site does that, fast. The page loads, your IP and geolocation are right there at the top, and below it is a VPN/proxy detection check that tells you whether your traffic looks like a residential connection or a known datacenter. The lookup happens via ip-api.com, and your IP is looked up in real time and shown only to you — I don't log or store it on my end.

The pages here are written to actually explain what an IP address is, how geolocation works, and how to tell whether a VPN is really protecting you — not just to funnel you toward a product. Where I mention a VPN, I try to keep it neutral and educational. If I ever add provider links, any affiliate ones will be clearly disclosed, and I'll only point to services I've actually used. If something on the site is wrong, broken, or feels misleading, let me know.
