Is this IP a bot or a real person?
Paste any IP address. We look at the network, reverse DNS, Tor membership and User-Agent consistency to say who is really behind it.
Add a User-Agent to verify a claimed crawler

Evidence
What we check
- Network type — a consumer ISP or carrier suggests a person; cloud and hosting ranges suggest servers, scrapers and VPNs.
- Reverse DNS — the name a network publishes for the address, and whether it reads like a home line or a machine.
- Tor exit list — the public list of Tor exit nodes, refreshed every few hours.
- Crawler verification — if the User-Agent claims Googlebot, Bingbot or another crawler, we forward-confirm the hostname actually resolves back to that IP. A claim alone proves nothing.
What we cannot tell you
- VPNs and residential proxies. Reliable detection is a paid dataset; free data misses most of them.
- Certainty. A datacenter IP can still be a person on a corporate VPN, and a home IP can run a scraper.
- Who the person is. An IP identifies a connection, not a human.
- We do not store the addresses you look up. Standard edge logs are kept by Cloudflare, not by this tool.
