Analysis complete

Page Content

The site serves a single purpose: displaying the visitor's digital fingerprint. This includes the public IP address, ISP information, and browser-specific data like language and screen resolution. There are no advertisements, login forms, or calls to action that would suggest a data-harvesting scam.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted on a stable IP address with a zero abuse score. It uses a valid SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt to ensure the connection is encrypted. The technical setup is consistent with a lightweight web utility.

Domain History

Registered nearly four years ago through Alibaba Cloud, the domain has a long-standing reputation. It is not a 'throwaway' domain often used by scammers. The parent domain is a personal blog that has maintained a consistent presence online.

Web Reputation

Our research shows no complaints or scam reports across major security databases or community forums. The presence of a valid ICP filing (Guangxi ICP) adds a layer of accountability often missing from fraudulent sites.

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

  • Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on ip.surl.vip and not a lookalike like i-p.surl.vip.com or an IDN homoglyph.

  • Use a password manager

    Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review found no threat indicators on ip.surl.vip. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • ip.surl.vip passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 84/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
  • Yes. ip.surl.vip presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YR1, expiring in 67 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • ip.surl.vip is 3.6 years old, registered on 11/2/2022 through Alibaba Cloud Computing Ltd. d/b/a HiChina (www.net.cn). Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

  • No. ip.surl.vip is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • ip.surl.vip resolves to an IP operated by CHINANET Guangdong province network in CN (usage type: Fixed Line ISP). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 23, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around ip.surl.vip have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
