## Description

IPinfo lets you turn your AI agent into a real-time network analyst. Instead of digging through spreadsheets or manually searching for IP locations, you can just ask your agent to do the heavy lifting. If you need to know where a specific IP is located, what ISP it uses, or if it's hiding behind a VPN, your agent can pull that data in seconds. This is a big deal for anyone who deals with network security or data enrichment regularly. You can audit entire CIDR blocks to see who owns them or check the historical data for a specific address to see how it's moved over time. It handles the complex lookups for Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) and privacy metadata so you don't have to. You can even check your own connection details to make sure your traffic is routing the way you expect it to. You can find this and thousands of other tools in the Vinkius catalog to build out your agent's capabilities. It takes the guesswork out of network auditing by providing precise, high-fidelity data. Whether you're trying to spot a malicious actor using a proxy or just need to verify user geolocations for a new app, this Connector makes the information accessible through a simple conversation. You get to focus on the strategy while your agent handles the data fetching.

## Tools

### get_asn_details
Get the details for a specific Autonomous System Number. Use it to identify the organization that owns a network.

### get_privacy_details
Check if an IP is tied to a VPN, proxy, or Tor node. This helps you spot non-human or masked traffic quickly.

### get_ip_details
Get the full geographic and network profile for a single IP address. It's the standard way to geolocate a specific point on the web.

### get_ip_historical
Get past location data for an IP. This is useful for tracking how a specific address has moved over time.

### get_ip_range
Get full details for a CIDR block or IP range. Use this to see what's happening across an entire network segment.

### get_own_ip_details
See the geographic and network data for your own current connection. It's a fast way to verify where your request is actually coming from.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Is 1.2.3.4 a VPN?
```

**Response:** 
```
I've checked the privacy settings for 1.2.3.4. It is **not** identified as a VPN, proxy, or Tor exit node. It appears to be a standard residential connection. Would you like to see the ASN details?
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Where is 8.8.8.8 located?
```

**Response:** 
```
The IP 8.8.8.8 is located in: 

* **City**: Mountain View
* **Region**: California
* **Country**: United States
* **ISP**: Google LLC

It is a well-known public DNS address.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Tell me about AS15169.
```

**Response:** 
```
Here are the details for **AS15169**: 

* **Owner**: Google LLC
* **Description**: Google LLC
* **Status**: Active

This Autonomous System is associated with a massive range of IP addresses worldwide.
```

## Capabilities

### Locate IPs geographically
Your agent finds the city, region, and ISP for any IP address instantly.

### Identify network owners
Get specific details on Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) to see who owns a network.

### Detect VPNs and proxies
Check if an IP is a VPN, proxy, or Tor node to verify traffic authenticity.

### Analyze CIDR blocks
Retrieve metadata for entire IP ranges to understand regional allocations.

### Verify connection details
Check your own connection's IP details to maintain control over your environment.

## Use Cases

### Detecting Tor exit nodes
A security researcher asks their agent to check a list of IPs to see if they are Tor nodes using get_privacy_details.

### Verifying user locations
A data engineer asks their agent to geolocate a batch of user IPs to confirm they are within a specific region.

### Identifying network owners
A risk manager asks their agent for the ASN details of a high-traffic IP to see if it belongs to a data center.

### Auditing CIDR blocks
An ops lead asks their agent to retrieve details for a CIDR block to see which ISPs are providing service to a region.

## Benefits

- Spot VPN users instantly using get_privacy_details to block masked traffic.
- Identify network owners with get_asn_details to map out infrastructure.
- Verify user regions quickly with get_ip_details for better data enrichment.
- Audit entire IP blocks using get_ip_range to check for large scale proxy usage.
- Track IP movement over time with get_ip_historical to spot suspicious shifts.
- Check your own connection details with get_own_ip_details to verify routing.

## How It Works

The bottom line is you get real-time network intelligence without manual lookups.

1. Subscribe to IPinfo and grab your Access Token.
2. Enter your token into your Connector configuration.
3. Ask your agent to geolocate an IP or check for VPN usage.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Can IPinfo detect if someone is using a VPN?**
Yes. It checks if an IP is associated with known VPN providers, proxy services, or Tor exit nodes, helping you identify masked traffic.

**How do I use IPinfo to geolocate users?**
You can ask your agent to find the city, region, and ISP for any IP address. It returns the geographic data instantly so you can see where your users are located.

**Can IPinfo tell me who owns a specific IP range?**
Yes. By querying a CIDR block or IP range, it provides the network ownership and ISP details for that entire segment.

**Is IPinfo good for identifying VPN users?**
It is specifically designed for this. It provides privacy metadata that flags whether a connection is coming from a VPN, proxy, or Tor node.

**Can I check my own connection details with IPinfo?**
Yes. You can ask your agent to retrieve the IP details for your current connection to see your own geographic location and ISP.

**How does IPinfo help with security research?**
It allows researchers to quickly audit malicious IPs, identify network owners via ASNs, and check for proxy usage without manual lookups.

**How do I find my IPinfo Access Token?**
Log in to your [**IPinfo dashboard**](https://ipinfo.io/account), and you will find your Access Token on the overview page. Copy and paste it below.

**Does the agent detect VPNs and Proxies?**
Yes. The `get_privacy_details` tool allows your agent to identify if an IP address is masked by a VPN, proxy, or Tor network instantly.
