IP Address Lookup
Look up geolocation and info for any IP address
IP Address Lookup resolves a public IP address to its approximate geolocation — country, city, region, coordinates, timezone, ISP and ASN — using a dedicated geolocation service, rejecting private or reserved addresses since they have no public location to look up.
Enter any IPv4 or IPv6 address, or leave blank for your own

Everything you need to know about IP address lookups
What does an IP lookup actually tell you?
Looks up the approximate geographic location (country, region, sometimes city) and network/ISP information associated with an IP address — based on public registration databases, not a precise real-time location.
How accurate is this, really?
IP-based geolocation is approximate — it's generally reliable at the country level, less so at the city level, and can be noticeably wrong for mobile networks or VPN/proxy traffic, which route through infrastructure that may be far from the actual user.
When you actually need this
- Investigating suspicious traffic in server logs.
- Debugging a geolocation-based feature that isn't behaving as expected for a specific IP.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does a private IP like 192.168.1.1 fail?
Private and reserved IP ranges aren't publicly routable, so there's no real-world location to resolve — these are rejected upfront with a clear error instead of returning a misleading or blank result.
How accurate is the location?
IP geolocation is generally accurate to the city or region level, not an exact street address — it reflects where the ISP has registered the IP block, not necessarily the device's precise physical location.
What does the "isProxy" field mean?
It flags whether the IP is known to belong to a proxy, VPN, or similar relay service, which can mean the detected location differs from the actual user's location.
Does this tool send the IP to a server?
Yes — it's sent to our servers, which query a geolocation service and return the result to you; nothing is stored.
Is this tool free to use?
Yes — completely free, with no signup and no usage limits for casual use.
