- The provider card now shows the address block your connection belongs to, as the RIPE Database names it, for
example "MOBILE-USERS-BLOCK (IT)" on Iliad mobile or "FASTWEB-L3-PAT_NAT (IT)" on a Fastweb shared address. The
path shows it under your provider too.
- No block is left out: the server keeps every block in the RIPE Database, small and unique ones included, and tells
the app the block of the address it sees, never anyone else's. The app also carries about 430,000 of the larger
blocks, for when the server can't be reached.
- Only each block's range, name and country are used, nothing about people. The data comes from the RIPE NCC's RIPE
Database, used with the RIPE NCC's permission; it may lag behind the live database, and the "What this app
contacts" sheet gives its date.
- The privacy page says that the server's answer now includes that block name; nothing new is stored or sent.

- Behind your provider's shared address, me-web? now shows how its exit hands out ports
(kept, one after another, from one block, or at random), the range it gave this device,
and how many customers may share the address at most; the estimate sharpens with each
check on the same address.
- It tests whether two devices behind the same address can reach each other (hairpin), and
how long an unused connection stays open: the card says "measuring" for about two minutes
after the check, then the answer.
- With the test from outside, the publisher's server also traces the route back to your
address: your provider's routers and the networks in between appear on the path, with
their names.
- The provider card says which networks your provider reaches the internet through.
- On mobile data, the path shows the operator and the type of network (5G, 4G) read from the
phone; on Android 13 and later the phone asks once for permission to read the network type.
- The speed card adds the round trip to the publisher's server.
- The network data now comes from the publisher's server, refreshed there from open sources:
iptoasn.com, DB-IP Lite (CC BY 4.0), the University of Oregon Route Views Project (CC BY 4.0)
and the Android Open Source Project's list of mobile operators (Apache 2.0); the release
notes list each source's date and checksum.
- Source links in the cards wrap instead of being cut off.
- New strings, drafted in every language.
