Editorial Policy

Our content standards

We publish practical, original material focused on IP lookup, DNS, ASN, geolocation, privacy, and network troubleshooting. Articles are written for real user problems, not generated from keyword templates alone.

• Clear definitions and context before technical detail.
• Actionable steps users can run with our tools.
• No copied/scraped third-party article content.
• Frequent internal linking to relevant supporting guides.

Accuracy and review process

We review technical claims against primary documentation, protocol references, and reproducible tool behavior before publishing. When a topic is sensitive (security/privacy), we prioritize conservative wording and cross-checks.

• Product or provider claims are checked against official documentation, changelogs, support pages, or current product screens where possible.
• Network-tool explanations are compared with RFCs, registry data, DNS behavior, browser behavior, and real lookup output.
• Reviews are updated when plan details, server counts, pricing, protocols, or supported features change.

Source hierarchy

We prefer sources that are closest to the underlying system or product. For technical networking topics, that usually means standards bodies, registry operators, official vendor documentation, or reproducible command output. For buying guides, it means current provider pages, pricing pages, support articles, app behavior, and clearly dated hands-on testing notes.

• Primary documentation is preferred over summaries.
• Dated claims are treated as unstable and are reviewed more often.
• If a claim cannot be verified confidently, we soften the wording or remove it until it can be checked.

Updates and corrections

We regularly update articles when standards, tools, or behavior change. If you find an error, send details via contact form and include the page URL, claim, and evidence. Confirmed issues are corrected and republished.

We do not hide meaningful corrections inside unrelated rewrites. If a page contains stale provider information, a broken technical recommendation, or a misleading comparison, the claim is updated in the page itself and in any related comparison or plan page that repeats the same fact.

How we avoid low-value SEO content

We do not publish filler pages solely to target search terms. New content must solve a clear user task, include verifiable technical context, and connect to relevant tools or glossary references. Articles that cannot provide meaningful guidance are revised or removed from active publishing plans.

Affiliate and monetization disclosure

Some pages include affiliate links (for example VPN pages). Affiliate relationships do not determine factual claims. We separate educational content from offer sections and disclose affiliate usage where relevant.

• Affiliate status does not decide rankings or feature claims.
• If a partner changes plan details, we update the content instead of preserving outdated promotional copy.
• Non-partner providers can be recommended when they are a better fit for a specific user need.

Use of automation

We may use software tools to collect test output, compare repeated facts across pages, check spelling, or speed up drafting. Automated assistance does not replace human review. Pages still need a clear user purpose, editorial judgment, and source checks before they are published or refreshed.

This matters most on VPN and privacy pages, where stale claims can mislead readers. When we detect mismatched facts across plan pages, reviews, and comparison pages, we normalize the information across the site rather than fixing only one URL.
