Find this creepy?

Every website you visit, and all the carriers along the way, needs the IP address of your device to transmit your data and return content. Using commonly available IP address lookup services, any of these can determine your approximate location. These service providers can also capture your communications, and are largely unfettered in using it for their own purposes. They can also secretly hand it over to third parties, including law enforcement and security agencies. With IXmaps, we only use your IP address only to produce these maps and then anonymize it. For more, see our privacy policy.

If you believe this router is incorrectly located, please so indicate, offering a more accurate location if possible. Note that since excluding User-flagged routers is enabled by default, the next time this route is mapped, this router will not appear. To see it again, turn off the Exclude router / User-flagged control in Options (the gear icon), then refresh the query.

Map Help

If you're getting started, it's easiest to begin with some of our canned queries in the Quick search section - see tab on far left. If you've just generated a route, you'll be able to find it easily by clicking on the 'Last Contributed' button. The 4 rightmost Quick buttons use the location and ISP information provided on your first visit this session to the Map page.

If you do not find the route(s) you were looking for, go to either the Basic or Advanced tab where you can adjust the search conditions.

If routes are reported found but none appear on the map, it may help to zoom out, or on the rare occasion of very short routes, to zoom in on the city of origin.

You can explore the various features of this page using your mouse. Hover over the various items to see brief explanations.

If this didn't help out, drop us line at IXmaps@utoronto.ca and we'll try to answer. This will also assist us in revising the site so it will be more helpful to future users.
