Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of guides will I find here?

Hands-on tutorials on IP addresses, VPNs, proxies, DNS, online privacy, and website/SEO technical tools. Every guide is written in plain language with real-world steps you can follow on your own device.

Who are these guides written for?

Both complete beginners and experienced users. If you're just curious about what your IP address reveals, start with the IP Address category. If you're troubleshooting a VPN connection or running a website, the VPN and SEO categories go deeper.

Are the guides free to read?

Yes. Every guide is completely free, requires no account, and is available on any device. There are no paywalls, no email sign-ups, and no ads interrupting the content.

How often are new guides published?

New guides are published regularly as we test new tools and cover new topics. The newest three posts in each category appear at the top of this page automatically — click "View all" next to any category to see the complete archive.

Can I request a topic for a guide?

Yes. If there's a topic you'd like covered, use the Contact page to send a suggestion. Reader requests often turn into the next guide.

Do I need to be technical to follow along?

No. Guides explain every term the first time it's used and include step-by-step screenshots or examples where helpful. If a guide assumes more background than you have, the related tools and earlier guides are linked so you can build up to it.

Is there a tool that pairs with each guide?

Most guides link directly to the relevant free tool — for example, the VPN guide links to the VPN Check tool, and the DNS guide links to the DNS Lookup tool. You can read the guide and try the concept immediately without leaving the site.

Are the guides available in other languages?

Guides are currently published in English only. If you'd like to see a specific language added, feel free to send a request through the Contact page.
