Please help us keep Internet safer and cleaner by leaving a descriptive comment about 79.131.180.20 IP address
DNSBL* - is a list of IP addresses published through the Internet Domain Name Service (DNS) either as a zone file that can be used by DNS server software, or as a live DNS zone that can be queried in real-time. DNSBLs are most often used to publish the addresses of computers or networks linked to spamming; most mail server software can be configured to reject or flag messages which have been sent from a site listed on one or more such lists.
WHOIS** - is a query/response protocol that is widely used for querying databases in order to determine the registrant or assignee of Internet resources, such as a domain name, an IP address block, or an autonomous system number. WHOIS lookups were traditionally performed with a command line interface application, and network administrators predominantly still use this method, but many simplified web-based tools exist. WHOIS services are typically communicated using the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Servers listen to requests on the well-known port number 43.
** Approximate Geographic Location - This is NOT the exact geographical location of the person/organization with the given IP address. However, this should still give you a good idea about the area/region where this person/orgranization is located.
Complaint by Anonymous :
I am the owner of this IP address and I have put my real name on here. I am not a hacker and I don't know the first thing about how to hack or spam someone's email or anything else of the sort and this is my printers IP address, oddly I have been trying all day to print out crossword puzzles and it's not letting me. What am I supposed to do to fix it so my address is not being used this way. I'm not a hacker but apparently my printers IP address has been compromised and I have no clue what to do except unplug it... What do I need to do? I'm a very private person and honestly I have post traumatic stress disorder and now I am terrified that someone else is able to use and see what I have printed on the **** thing. I didn't even know an IP address for a private residential printer could be used for this kind of thing. I just assumed that the printer had the same IP address as my WI-FI and I have never tried until tonight to even change some kind of number code that I didn't pick or even knew I had to secure the printer. It's an HP Officejet 4630 all-in-one. It has fax capabilities but we never set that up bc we don't even have a landline and didn't need that feature. We got it bc it was cheap and could do the things we wanted a printer and scanner for mostly family pics and I was so excited to see that I could print real photos with it and free crossword puzzles. If I unplug it will it stop whoever is using the IP address then what do I need to do. I can't afford another printer and it would be a few months before I could afford to bc I have 2 babies in diapers and we don't exactly have a ton of money laying around for luxuries like this printer is. Please help me to stop whoever is using my printers IP address for these things and secure it so it's not possible anymore. I will throw it away before I spend a week without being able to sleep worrying about some perv or just some douchebag using the printer's IP address for anything. It's supposed to be a great investment and one I have until tonight thought was awesome to be able to print whatever I wanted especially pics. I spent almost $400 at a CVS pharmacy to print much needed pics and with ink and the special photo paper this isn't much cheaper but I thought it was safer.
