    IPinfo analyzed 20 major VPN providers and found most don’t route traffic through the countries they claim. Using ProbeNet’s real-time internet measurements, IPinfo uncovered widespread use of virtual locations, country mismatches spanning thousands of kilometers, and major inaccuracies in legacy IP datasets—showing why evidence-based IP geolocation matters for trust, security, and compliance.

    Quantum security is about creating a structured approach to managing cryptographic risk in an environment where the threat landscape is evolving faster than our ability to respond. Unlike post-quantum cryptography, which focuses on algorithm-level resistance to quantum attacks, quantum security encompasses the broader governance, compliance, and strategic governance.

  • The Hidden Cost of Invalid Traffic: Why IP Data Is the Missing Link

    This story was originally published on HackerNoon at: https://hackernoon.com/the-hidden-cost-of-invalid-traffic-why-ip-data-is-the-missing-link.


    IPinfo stops invalid traffic by detecting bots, VPNs, and proxies with real-time IP intelligence, helping ad platforms cut waste and improve ROI.

    Invalid traffic (IVT) is draining billions from advertising budgets as bots, VPNs, and residential proxies distort CPMs, attribution, and ROI. IPinfo prevents these losses by identifying non-human traffic at the IP level using continuously validated, measurement-based IP intelligence. With real-time proxy/VPN detection, active IPv6/IPv4 validation, and high-accuracy enrichment, platforms can block IVT before it enters auctions—leading to cleaner supply, better performance, and stronger ROI.

  • Debunking the "99.8% Accurate IP Data" Claim

    This story was originally published on HackerNoon at: https://hackernoon.com/debunking-the-998percent-accurate-ip-data-claim.


    IPinfo explains why ‘99% accurate IP data’ is misleading and how real accuracy requires ongoing measurement, transparency, and ProbeNet validation.

    This story was written by: @ipinfo. Learn more about this writer by checking @ipinfo's about page,
    and for more stories, please visit hackernoon.com.


    Most “99%+ accurate” IP geolocation claims are misleading because there’s no shared dataset, no standard methodology, and no way to validate global accuracy across billions of constantly changing IPs. IPinfo rejects the industry’s accuracy theater and instead uses continuous measurement, transparency, and real-world validation to deliver trustworthy, evidence-backed IP data accuracy.
