Use our free IP address lookup tool to discover detailed geolocation information about any IPv4 or IPv6 address. This internet protocol (IP) lookup tool shows you the physical location, internet service provider (ISP), and network details for any IP address instantly. You can check your own public IP address to see what information websites can detect when you browse online, or trace suspicious IP addresses back to their source location.

Understanding IP Geolocation Data
- IP geolocation provides an approximate location based on where your internet service provider registers the IP address, not your exact home address or device location
- Virtual private networks (VPNs) and proxy servers will display the server location instead of where you're actually connecting from
- Location accuracy can vary because some IP addresses may show outdated information if the geolocation database hasn't been recently updated
- The ISP information reveals which organization controls the IP address range, which might be different from your actual internet provider if you're using mobile data or enterprise networks
- This IP lookup data is meant for general information only and shouldn't be relied on for emergency response services or precise geographic targeting
Why Use an IP Address Lookup Tool?
This IP geolocation tool helps you trace internet protocol addresses back to their registered location and owner. Whether you're checking website visitor data, investigating suspicious activity, or testing your online privacy, here's what you can discover:
- Track the geographic location (country, state, city, and region) of any IP address to identify where website visitors or network connections are coming from
- Verify your VPN connection is working properly by checking if your displayed location matches the VPN server location instead of your actual location
- Identify which internet service provider or organization owns a specific IP address range
- Understand what geolocation data and network information websites can detect about your connection when you browse the internet
What Information an IP Address Lookup Provides
When you perform an IP lookup, our tool retrieves comprehensive geolocation and network data from reliable IP address databases. Here's the detailed information you'll receive:
- Geographic location data - The country, region/state, and city where the IP address is registered. This typically shows where the internet service provider operates, not the exact physical location of the device or person using that IP address
- ISP and organization details - The name of the internet service provider or company that owns and manages the IP address range
- Map coordinates - Latitude and longitude coordinates that show the approximate location on an interactive map for easy visualization
- Network technical details - Important information like the ASN (Autonomous System Number), which identifies the network operator, plus the network address range
- Regional information - The local timezone, currency used in that region, and international calling code for the IP address location
Your Privacy and Data Security
We take your privacy seriously. When you use this IP address lookup tool, we don't store, log, or save any IP addresses you search for. Your web browser connects directly to the geolocation API service, which means the lookup data never passes through our servers. All IP address searches remain completely private and confidential.
