This is literally the most prominent thing on the https://ipinfo.io home page.

That's embarrassing for me... I thought that was a static image of an example. And I did look through the site looking for a search. Oops.

Huh, that's cool. It got my home IP about 15 miles from where I am, but still not bad.

Wait - how does this work for cell IPs? A lot of cellphone v4 IPs are now shared between hundreds or thousands of devices, right?

I work there, and I am supposed to know these things, but I don't exactly :/

It probably has something to do with important routers. What tags do we show when you visit the IP data page? The IP data page can be accessed by visiting ipinfo.io/<IP_address>.

We use the generic term "data experts," but it actually consists of about 2 dozen engineers, including data engineers, data scientists, infrastructure engineers, backend engineers, and a great technical CEO working on all that. All those folks have gone on a boating trip off the coast of Spain for a retreat.....except for me.

I will ask them and try to circle back with some answers.
