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I suspect perhaps s/he's using an older/outdated GeoIP database/service as the AS Number returned for my IP is wrong.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