Why does ipnow.kr show Dlive as my internet provider?
ipnow.kr shows Dlive when your public IP belongs to its network, AS10036. Dlive is a South Korean cable TV and cable internet provider, formerly known as C&M, so this normally means you are connected through a Dlive cable modem at home.

What is Dlive?
Dlive is a South Korean cable television and cable internet provider, previously operating under the name C&M before rebranding. It offers cable broadband and digital TV mainly to residential customers, operating alongside the country's larger telecom carriers such as KT, SK Broadband and LG Uplus, but as its own independent company.
Dlive runs its own IP address ranges for its cable broadband customers, separate from any telecom carrier, which is why a Dlive cable line shows "Dlive" rather than a telecom brand on an IP lookup.
Why does my IP show Dlive?
If your home internet is a Dlive cable connection, seeing "Dlive" here is exactly what is expected.
It can also show up on a shared apartment or building connection billed through Dlive, or on a VPN or proxy hosted on a Dlive address range. If this result is unexpected, check that your VPN works to see whether a VPN is active on the connection.
- A home cable internet line from Dlive
- A shared building or office line billed through Dlive
- A VPN or proxy exiting through a Dlive address
What is Dlive's ASN?
Dlive's Autonomous System Number is AS10036, the identifier that marks a block of addresses as belonging to Dlive rather than another cable operator or telecom carrier. See what is an ASN for how ASNs are used in general.
A verified public DNS resolver pair for Dlive is not available, so this page does not list one; Dlive routers and cable modems typically receive DNS settings automatically from Dlive's own network equipment.
How do I confirm this on ipnow.kr, and does Dlive support IPv6?
Open the ipnow.kr homepage and check the ISP and ASN fields shown next to your public IP; on a Dlive line you should see "Dlive" and AS10036. If the location shown looks off, why your IP location can be wrong explains why cable ISP locations are only an estimate.
IPv6 support depends on your carrier, plan and device, so it can vary by region and by the specific cable modem Dlive has installed. Most residential Dlive lines use a dynamic IP; see dynamic vs static IP for what that means if you need an address that does not change.

Frequently asked questions
Is Dlive the same company as C&M?
Yes. Dlive is the current brand name for the cable provider previously known as C&M, and both names refer to the same company and network, AS10036.
Is Dlive related to LG Hellovision or CMB?
No, Dlive, LG Hellovision and CMB are separate South Korean cable operators, each running its own network and its own ASN, even though all three offer similar cable TV and internet service.
Can I get a static IP from Dlive?
Static IPs are typically offered only on Dlive's business-grade lines; residential customers normally receive a dynamic IP, as explained in dynamic vs static IP.
Why does my Dlive IP location look wrong on ipnow.kr?
IP geolocation is an estimate based on where an address block is registered, which can point to a regional hub rather than your exact city; see why your IP location can be wrong.
