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
