This tool performs a real-time IP address lookup using geolocation databases. It returns the country, region, city, ISP, ASN, timezone, and other network details associated with any public IP address — all processed securely server-side.
An IP lookup returns the geographic location (country, region, city), network information (ISP, organization, ASN), timezone, local languages, and currency associated with the IP address. Note that geolocation is approximate and based on network registration data, not GPS.
IP geolocation is typically accurate to the country level (99%+) and accurate to the city level in around 50–80% of cases. Accuracy varies by region and ISP. VPNs, proxies, and Tor exit nodes will show the location of the server, not the actual user.
Yes. This tool supports both IPv4 (e.g., 8.8.8.8) and IPv6 (e.g., 2001:4860:4860::8888) address lookups. IPv6 geolocation coverage is expanding but may be less precise than IPv4 in some regions.
Your ISP assigns your IP from a pool registered at their network operations center, which may be in a different city or region than your physical location. If you use a VPN or proxy, you will see the VPN server's location instead of your own.
Yes. This IP Address Lookup tool is completely free with no sign-up, no API key, and no rate limits imposed on you. It runs in your browser and processes lookups securely on our server to protect your privacy.
An Autonomous System Number (ASN) is a unique identifier assigned to a network of IP addresses under the control of a single organization, such as an ISP or large company. ASNs are used by routers to exchange routing information on the internet.
Private IP addresses (like 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, 172.16.x.x) are not routable on the public internet, so geolocation data is not available for them. Only public IP addresses can be geolocated.
An IP lookup focuses on geolocation, ISP, and network metadata. A WHOIS lookup queries registration databases for the organization that owns the IP block, including contact details and registration dates. Both tools complement each other for network investigation.
An IP address lookup is the process of querying a geolocation database or network registry to retrieve information associated with a specific IP address. Every device connected to the internet is assigned an IP address — a unique numerical label that identifies it on the network. When you perform a lookup, you can uncover where that IP address is geographically registered, which organization owns it, what internet service provider (ISP) operates it, and other technical metadata.
IP address lookups are widely used by developers, system administrators, security researchers, and everyday users who want to understand the origin of network traffic, verify the location of a server, or investigate suspicious connections.
IP geolocation works by cross-referencing IP addresses against large databases maintained by regional internet registries (RIRs) such as ARIN, RIPE NCC, APNIC, LACNIC, and AFRINIC. These registries record which organization each block of IP addresses is assigned to, and where those organizations are based. Third-party geolocation providers enrich this data with additional signals — such as latency measurements, user-reported locations, and WiFi triangulation — to improve city-level accuracy.
It is important to understand that IP geolocation is an estimate, not a precise GPS location. Country-level accuracy is very high (often 99%+), but city-level accuracy varies between 50% and 80% depending on the region and ISP. Mobile networks, VPNs, proxies, and satellite internet services can all cause the displayed location to differ significantly from the actual physical location of a user or device.
An Autonomous System Number (ASN) is a globally unique identifier assigned to a collection of IP routing prefixes under the control of a single network operator. ASNs are used in the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), the routing protocol that governs how data travels between different networks on the internet. When you look up an IP address, the ASN tells you which autonomous system — typically an ISP, cloud provider, university, or large enterprise — is responsible for routing traffic to and from that address.
For example, Google's public DNS server at 8.8.8.8 is registered under AS15169, which belongs to Google LLC. Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 falls under AS13335, operated by Cloudflare, Inc. Knowing the ASN is useful for diagnosing routing issues, identifying hosting providers, and investigating the origin of network traffic.
IPv4 addresses are 32-bit numbers written in dot-decimal notation (e.g., 192.0.2.1). The global IPv4 address space has been exhausted at the regional registry level, which means ISPs and organizations must carefully manage and recycle their allocations. IPv4 geolocation data is mature and extensive.
IPv6 addresses are 128-bit numbers written in hexadecimal with colons (e.g., 2001:db8::1). IPv6 was designed to solve the address exhaustion problem and provides a virtually unlimited pool of unique addresses. IPv6 geolocation databases are growing rapidly but may be less complete than IPv4 databases in some regions. This tool supports lookups for both address families.
Security and fraud prevention: Businesses use IP geolocation to detect suspicious login attempts from unexpected countries, flag orders from high-risk regions, and block known malicious IP ranges. Security teams use ASN data to identify whether traffic originates from known hosting providers (which may indicate bot activity) versus residential ISPs.
VPN and proxy verification: When using a VPN, your visible IP address changes to one from the VPN provider's network. IP lookups help verify that your VPN is working correctly by confirming the displayed location matches the VPN server's expected location rather than your real one.
Server and CDN debugging: Developers use IP lookups to verify that their servers' IP addresses resolve to the correct geographic location for CDN routing, that load balancers are assigning expected IP pools, and that geolocation-based content delivery is functioning as intended.
Network diagnostics: When troubleshooting connectivity issues or investigating the source of spam and abuse, knowing the ISP and ASN behind an IP address can help identify the responsible network operator and find their abuse contact information.
When you look up an IP address with this tool, you receive several categories of data. The location data (country, region, city, postal code, and coordinates) reflects where the IP block is registered, not necessarily the physical location of the device. The network data (ISP, organization, ASN) identifies the entity responsible for the IP address. The timezone and locale data (timezone name, UTC offset, local time, languages, and currency) is derived from the country and region of the IP registration.
The coordinates provided can be used to view the approximate location on a map. Clicking "View on Map" will open Google Maps centered on those coordinates. Keep in mind that for many ISPs, the coordinates point to a data center or network exchange rather than the end user's home.
Your own IP address is visible to every website and server you connect to. This is a fundamental aspect of how the internet works — without an IP address, routers would not know where to send the response to your request. However, the level of detail that can be inferred from an IP address is limited. It does not reveal your name, email, or precise street address. The geolocation accuracy at the street level is very low.
If privacy is a concern, using a reputable VPN or Tor will mask your real IP address and substitute it with one from the VPN or Tor exit node's location. This tool does not store the IP addresses you look up, and all lookups are processed server-side to prevent direct requests from your browser to third-party APIs.
