Tips and common questions

What is reverse DNS?

It is the name linked to an IP address, such as one.one.one.one for 1.1.1.1. It often shows which company runs the address.

What is a private IP?

Addresses like 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x are used inside home and office networks and cannot be reached from the internet directly.

Can it show exactly where someone lives?

No. An IP address points to an internet provider or network, not to a home address.

Privacy

The details are worked out in your browser. The reverse DNS name is fetched from Cloudflare's public DNS, not the Wivrix server.
