IP address: 188.123.252.24

My modest grasp of technology lets me look up IP addresses on the Internet. And this is what we find:

  • Country: Russian Federation
  • Region: Moscow City
  • City: Moscow
  • Postal Code: N/A
  • Latitude/Longitude: 55.752201 / 37.615601
  • ISP: "AKADO-Stolitsa JSC"
  • Organization: "AKADO-Stolitsa JSC"
  • Host Name: N/A

IP address is numbered 188.123.252.24. This IP address is affiliated with Russian Federation, and active in Moscow, Moscow City. IP Country code is RU. ISP of this address is "AKADO-Stolitsa JSC", organization is "AKADO-Stolitsa JSC". IP address longitude is 37.615601 and latitude is 55.752201

When you check out those coordinates, the originating address is inside the Kremlin itself. The Internet Service Provider seems to be AKADO Stolitsa JSC:

JSC «AKADO - Stolitsa» is one of the Moscow’s leading providers of communications solutions and services operating since 1995. AKADO is a part of AKADO Group. AKADO activities include broadband internet services, digital TV services with over 180 channels, High Definition Television (HDTV), digital telephony and digital radio services. AKADO is the largest Double Play operator in Moscow, and the first provider to launch HDTV services on its whole network.

Good value for money, Russian taxpayers!
