What is the rate limit for use on your service? I have a demo I keep trying to get onto HN but it falls over when it hits the front page.

There is none, what did you tried exactly, can you show some code?

Huge fan. Use this nearly daily in my terminal opening screen; nice and quick to tell you where are, net-wise.

How did you get LAN-Addresses and Internet Service Provider?

Is this on GitHub by chance?

For most people's uses, the AS Number & info for an IP is sufficient.

I suspect perhaps s/he's using an older/outdated GeoIP database/service as the AS Number returned for my IP is wrong.

The LAN address lookup (which doesn't work on Safari) is utilising a security hole in WebRTC.
