A lot of free open source software have their own website. Unfortunately, a lot of those websites have some Google services embedded in the website, for example Google Analytics. Some websites even use Google Cloud.

#### Google Cloud

|
|
Some open source services use Google Cloud, for example [gitlab.com](https://gitlab.com/) |

Some open source services use Google Cloud to power their website, for example [relay.firefox.com](https://relay.firefox.com).
|
|
|
|
|
|
To find if a website uses Google Cloud, you will need the `dig` and `whois` packages, which are only available in UNIX-like operating systems, for example Linux, BSD and macOS.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Firstly, you will have to find the [domain/subdomain name](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_name) of the website. For example, `https://relay.firefox.com/` subdomain is `relay.firefox.com`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Secondly, you will have to find the IP address of the domain/subdomain by using the `dig` command. For example,
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
dig ${DOMAIN/SUBDOMAIN} +short
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
where `${DOMAIN/SUBDOMAIN}` is the domain/subdomain, for example `relay.firefox.com`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Thirdly, you will have to find the cloud provider by using the `whois` command. For example
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
whois $IP | grep "netname" -i
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
where `$IP` is the IP address provided by the `dig ${DOMAIN/SUBDOMAIN}` +short` command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will give you the Net Name of the cloud provider, for example `GOOGLE-CLOUD`. |
