Can an IP address show someone’s exact home?
No. An IP points to the provider network and an approximate city. A street address cannot be derived from it.
What is an ASN?
An autonomous system number identifies one network on the internet, such as a provider or a hosting company. The ASN tells you who manages an address.
What is reverse DNS?
