IP Informer

IP Informer is a small software application whose purpose is to help you carry out automatic or manual scans in order to verify if your IP address has changed. It can be deployed on all Windows versions out there. In order to run the program correctly and avoid experiencing all sorts of errors, you need to install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 on the target computer.

IP Informer can be found running in the background, sitting quietly in the system tray. You may view the available configuration settings by right-clicking on its tray icon. There’s no support for a help manual, but you you can quickly decode the dedicated parameters because they look intuitive.

The application offers you the possibility to view information about the old and new IP addresses, as well as IP address status. You are allowed to manually trigger a new scan.

What’s more, you can copy the new IP address to the clipboard and run the utility at Windows startup. Tests have pointed out that IP Informer carries out  a task quickly and without errors. It remains light on system resources so the overall performance of the computer is not hampered.

In conclusion, IP Informer comes bundled with several straightforward and smart features for helping you monitor and detect changes made to your IP address, as well as set up email alerts.
