Live analytics from PINIP.net — updated from aggregate visitor lookups.

Executive summary

Based on 245,192 recorded IP lookups across 245,192 unique addresses, PINIP.net traffic in 2026 is heavily concentrated in Southeast Asia — led by Vietnam (26.8%) — while ISPs such as Vnpt Corp dominate resolver traffic. Desktop users on macOS with Chrome represent the largest browser/OS segment.

This report explains what those patterns mean for developers, security analysts, and publishers who rely on IP geolocation — and how to explore the same live breakdown on our Statistics dashboard.

Methodology: how PINIP.net collects lookup analytics

PINIP.net logs aggregate metadata when visitors use the homepage, run an explicit IP search, or open a direct URL such as pinip.net/8.8.8.8. We store country, city, ISP, ASN, browser family, operating system, and device class — never street-level addresses.

  • Homepage visits capture the visitor's public IP automatically.
  • Explicit lookups log the searched IP separately from the visitor IP.
  • Statistics rebuild runs every 10 minutes from anonymized aggregates.

Top countries by IP lookup volume

Geographic distribution reflects where users run lookups — not global internet population. Vietnam's lead often correlates with regional ISP blocks (VNPT, Viettel) and high mobile broadband adoption.

Top ISPs appearing in lookups

An ISP (Internet Service Provider) owns or routes the IP block your address belongs to. When you see VNPT, Jio, or OVH in a report, you are seeing the carrier or hosting company registered for that BGP prefix — useful for abuse triage and latency debugging.

ISP / OrganizationLookupsShare
Vnpt Corp35,85514.6%
VNPT16,2636.6%
VietNam Post and Telecom Corporation8,1893.3%

Hosting providers like OVH SAS and Huawei International appear when datacenter or cloud egress IPs are looked up. Cross-check any address instantly on the IP lookup homepage.

Operating systems and browsers

Operating systems

OS data comes from User-Agent parsing during visits. macOS leading the chart is common among developer and security-tool audiences; Windows and Linux follow for enterprise and server-admin traffic.

Browsers

Chrome dominates, followed by Firefox and Safari — consistent with global desktop share but skewed toward technical users who run IP diagnostics.

Remember: browser OS data describes who visits PINIP.net, not the remote IP being looked up.

What this means for IP geolocation strategy

  1. Country-level rules are safer than city-level. With diverse ISP routing, use country + ASN before blocking at city precision.
  2. Track ASN alongside ISP name. The same brand may appear under multiple ASNs after mergers or peering changes.
  3. Combine signals. Pair geolocation with proxy/VPN flags from our VPN vs proxy guide before fraud scoring.
  4. Automate with the API. Production systems should call the JSON API instead of scraping HTML tables.
