Your IP stays
with us.

The GeoIP database, the nameserver for the leak test and the STUN server run on our own servers. To show you your address, we do not need to ask anyone.

Questions

What people ask about SkyPing.

Does SkyPing store my IP address?

No. A lookup is answered and forgotten. The rate limit lives in memory only, and the lookup service never writes addresses to its log.

Where does the location come from?

From a local copy of the DB-IP Lite database, refreshed once a month. It knows which region an address block is used in, usually down to the city, never your street.

What is a DNS leak?

Your VPN hides your address, but your system may still send DNS lookups to your provider outside the tunnel. The DNS leak test shows which resolvers really answer for you.

Why does SkyPing show no IPv6 address?

Then your connection, your router or your VPN has no working IPv6. SkyPing checks IPv4 and IPv6 through separate hostnames, so each one only answers if the protocol works.

How does SkyPing detect a VPN?

It compares your address with published lists of VPN ranges, Tor exits and data centre networks. A hit is a strong hint, a miss is no proof.

Done with IP checkers
that track you themselves.
