echoip is a lightweight Go service for looking up a client's IP address, with optional country, city, and ASN details via MaxMind GeoIP databases. It powers ifconfig.co and can be self-hosted or run in Docker.

Use cases

  • find my public IP address from the command line
  • get my IP's country, city, and ASN as JSON
  • self-host an IP lookup API
  • check if a port is reachable from outside
  • look up geolocation for an arbitrary IP address
  • test IPv4 vs IPv6 connectivity

When to choose

  • you need a fast, simple what-is-my-IP endpoint for CLI tools like curl
  • you want to self-host an IP geolocation service with MaxMind data
  • you need JSON output and IPv6 support

When to avoid

  • you need deep threat intelligence or reputation data for IPs
  • you need a full geolocation API with maps and reverse geocoding
  • you don't want to manage MaxMind database downloads and license keys
