Description:

IP Beacon V3.0 is the newest evolution of the popular IP checking tool, now significantly simplified based on extensive user feedback. Previously provided as multiple files and complex configurations, IP Beacon is now elegantly streamlined into a single HTML file accompanied only by a favicon, which you can easily create yourself through any online favicon generator. This minimalistic format greatly simplifies deployment, making the tool accessible even to those without technical skills.

IP Beacon V3.0 remains entirely ad free, providing detailed IP address information and comprehensive geolocation details including country, region, city, ZIP code, geographical coordinates, timezone, and your Internet Service Provider. Additionally, it retrieves information directly from your browser, such as browser type, operating system, screen resolution, browser language, local date, and local time.

How IP Beacon V3.0 Works:

When you open the HTML file in your browser, embedded JavaScript automatically initiates a secure HTTPS request to the trusted external API service provider ipapi.co. This API promptly returns comprehensive geolocation data in JSON format, which the script dynamically processes and instantly displays on your screen within clearly structured informational cards.

Simultaneously, the script accesses your browser’s built in capabilities via the Navigator API to retrieve detailed information about your device and browser. All collected data, including IP details and browser-specific information, is displayed clearly and immediately without delays or reloads.

Data Privacy and Storage:

IP Beacon V3.0 strictly maintains user privacy by ensuring no collected information is permanently stored, logged, or transmitted elsewhere. All data retrieved by IP Beacon is fetched in real-time directly within your browser and displayed temporarily during your active session. After closing the webpage, all displayed data disappears permanently and is never stored or recorded on your server or anywhere else.

License and Credits:

IP Beacon V3.0 was entirely developed by George A. Rauscher and is offered freely for personal and commercial use. You may distribute, share, and utilize this script without modification, provided that original attribution to the author remains intact.
