Editorial Policy
Who is responsible for our content, how we check it, and what we will not publish.
Editorial responsibility
The WhatsMyIP.now Editorial Team is responsible for every guide, FAQ, comparison, and blog post published on this domain. Questions and correction requests can be sent through our contact page. We investigate reproducible errors and correct material mistakes in the page itself.
Our scope
We publish material that directly supports the site’s purpose: IP addresses, networking, online privacy, internet security, Wi-Fi troubleshooting, and VPN technology. We do not create pages merely to cover trending or adjacent search queries, and we do not publish third-party material solely to borrow this domain’s search reputation.
How content is produced
- Technical explainers are checked against primary specifications, standards bodies, government guidance, or first-party vendor documentation. Sources appear on the page.
- Tool instructions must match functionality that is available on the page, including any account requirement or external data transfer.
- VPN evaluations follow our published testing methodology. We distinguish our own tests from claims found in audits or provider documentation.
- Imported or automation-assisted drafts remain unpublished until an editor reviews originality, factual accuracy, sources, links, authorship, and topical fit. Automation cannot publish directly.
Originality and usefulness
We do not scrape, lightly rewrite, or syndicate pages from other sites. A page must help a reader complete a task or understand a topic without serving as a doorway to another page. Similar questions are consolidated with redirects when one complete answer is more useful than several overlapping pages.
Commercial relationships
Some VPN-provider links may earn a commission. Those links are disclosed to readers and marked rel="sponsored nofollow" for search engines. Commercial availability does not determine inclusion or ordering. Pages with affiliate links must still provide original analysis, limitations, sources, and a useful comparison method.
Dates and corrections
“Last updated” means the page or its shared editorial material changed; dates are not advanced merely to make content appear fresh. For corrections, include the page URL, the disputed statement, and a primary source when possible. Material corrections are made as soon as they can be verified.
