Hi @bodiana
Thanks for the submission!

Looks like a fun side project you have.
But I think for now, let's close. As this isn't a good fit, since it doesn't meet privacy nor quality requirements.

The biggest issue is the use of Google Analytics. But also the app seems to be just low quality machine generated vehicle for Google AdSense and VPN affiliates. And no real privacy policy.

[lissy93]

Going to close this for now, but in case it's useful, below is some notes from a quick review:

Privacy Policy

• Privacy policy is not readable in dark mode (white text on a white background)
• All trackers fire BEFORE the user has consented
• Privacy policy fails to disclose all of the trackers. Google Analytics/GTM, Cloudflare Insights, etc
• Privacy policy actively lies "we don't tie any of this back to who you actually are" - yes you DO. Under GDPR, an IP address is personal data, and anyway you send it to numerous third-parties
• Policy is dated "September 27, 2026". It's only May 2026 right now. Did you write it in the future?
• Policy mentions DART cookies, they were retired years ago
• Loads of info missing from the privacy policy: who you are/contact, legal basis for processing, data retention, rights, etc
• Tone of the policy implies privacy not taken seriously (e.g. "So here's the deal...")

Mobile App

I can't see the mobile app code, nor have I looked into it, but on the surface it appears that it could be borderline malicious. Why does an IP lookup tool need 35+ permissions, including read/write of external storage, changing device settings, and overlaying on top of the screen? Plus has Google Analytics baked in.

Quality/Functionality

• Code has a 0% maintainability score. Looks auto-generated. Website likely won't be around for the long-run, as basic updates will become impossible, as will spotting and fixing bugs and security issues.
• 600+ copy/pasted HTML files, 40 MB of repeated content on each, with zero shared HTML/CSS/JS. You should use templating (plus caching, minification and reuse), it would make everything 99%+ smaller
• git-ops is non-existant. No releases, docs, CI, tests, container, security, license, .gitignore, etc.
• Many of the tools are wrappers around existing APIs/services
• Password generator is fundamentally insecure - don't use Math.random()
• A lot of functionality is broken or inaccurate. Like the IP blacklist checker, which gives false positives (counting any DNS answer as a hit), and missing real hits (all IPv6 show as clean)
• Lot's of those files shouldn't of been committed (e.g. C:\Users\Bodia\OneDrive\Робочий стіл\myipnow-main\)
• Website reccomends non-private VPN providers (Surfshark + NordVPN)
• All content is AI-generated. It's just hundreds of pages of SEO-spam. With the sole aim of AdSense and affiliate marketing.
