The aim of this feature is to surface some of the information that WHOIS on an IP address provides next to the IP in the wiki interface itself so users are able to successfully perform their duties without any disruption when IPs are masked. This information includes (may not be limited to): * Location information: city, state, country * Owner information: company/institution that owns an IP address * Membership of the IP address in online blacklists * Whether the IP address is known to be a VPN or Tor node * Size of the IP block owned by the company ==== Acceptance criteria This task is for investigating services we can utilize to fetch this information and making a recommendation list based on criteria such as: * Data available * Accuracy of data * Frequency of data update * Limits on access, if any * Translation of data, if available * Ease of access This investigation does not need us to look through the privacy policy or ToU of the website. We will follow-up on that once we know which services we want to use.
