FOSS IP/ISP detector
Does anyone know of a good FOSS IP detector? I'm thinking of something like https://www.whatismyisp.com/ or https://whatismyipaddress.com/. Like how https://librespeed.org/ is a good alternative to https://www.speedtest.net/.

Not sure exactly what you want, but like this may be what you want. https://github.com/PeterDaveHello/ipinfo.tw
