Geolocation map
The marker shows the approximate coordinates returned for this IP address, which is usually the centre of the city or the ISP network hub, not a street address. Scroll-wheel zoom is off so the map does not hijack page scrolling; use the zoom buttons on the map instead.
An IP lookup tool reports the network behind any IPv4 or IPv6 address: its country, region and city, the ISP and organization that hold it, and its Autonomous System (AS) number. Enter an address such as 8.8.8.8 above; the page shows your own address until you do. Country is 95–99% accurate; city can be wrong by hundreds of miles.

About IP Lookup
What does this tool do?
Our IP lookup tool identifies the geographical location and network details behind any IP address. For both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, it reports the country, region, city, ISP, organization, and Autonomous System number associated with that address.
Why is this useful?
Looking up an IP address helps you understand where your traffic is coming from, spot suspicious activity, and troubleshoot network issues. It is commonly used by security professionals, website administrators, and anyone curious about how the internet's underlying infrastructure works.
Who uses this tool?
• Security professionals: Investigate alerts and suspicious login attempts.
• Web administrators: Analyze visitor patterns and optimize content delivery.
• Network engineers: Troubleshoot connectivity issues and routing problems.
• Digital marketers: Understand audience demographics and geographic distribution.
• Researchers and students: Learn how IP addressing and internet infrastructure work.
How to use this tool
1. Enter an IP address into the search field (IPv4 like 8.8.8.8 or IPv6 like 2001:4860:4860::8888), or leave it blank to look up your own.
2. Click Search, or press Enter, to run the lookup.
3. Review the results using the Summary view, Detailed view, or Privacy info tab.
4. Use the map to see the approximate location.
5. Copy the results to share or record your diagnostics.
Example
Try Google's public DNS server, 8.8.8.8, then Cloudflare's, 1.1.1.1. Both are anycast addresses: the same address is announced from many datacentres at once, so the city you get back is whichever location the geolocation database ties to that address, and someone running the same lookup from another country may well see a different one. The AS number is the stable part of the answer — it names the company that announces the address, whichever node you reach.
Public IP vs private IP vs VPN — how they relate
Understanding your results
IP address and IP version
The address the rest of the result belongs to, echoed back so there is no doubt which one was looked up, and whether it is a 32-bit IPv4 address or a 128-bit IPv6 one. On a blank search this is your own public address, which is what the page shows when it loads.
Country / Region / City
The geographic location where the IP address is registered — not necessarily the exact location of the person using it. Mobile networks and VPNs commonly show a different location than the actual user.
Postal code
The postal or ZIP code held for that area. It comes out of the same city-level record, so it is right about as often as the city is — and it is empty more often, because plenty of address ranges carry no postal code at all.
Coordinates
Latitude and longitude, printed to four decimal places. Four places looks like street-level precision and is not: the figures are the centre of a city or of an ISP's service area, so read them as a label for a region rather than a point on a road. They are also what the marker on the map uses.
ISP (Internet Service Provider)
The company providing internet access for this IP address — typically a residential or mobile carrier, or a hosting provider for server IPs.
Organization
The entity that owns or controls the block of IP addresses. This is often the ISP, but it can also be a separate company or institution.
AS number
The Autonomous System that announces this address — a group of IP networks under one administrative authority, defined in RFC 1930. The row prints this field exactly as the lookup returns it, so it may be the number on its own or the number followed by the operator's name. It is the steadiest part of a result: an address can move city in the database without its AS changing.
Timezone
The local timezone tied to this address, given as an IANA zone name such as Asia/Dhaka rather than an offset — useful for understanding when traffic from that IP is typically active. It is derived from the country and region, so it inherits their accuracy.
Privacy info tab
A quick heuristic, not a threat-intelligence lookup. It scans the ISP, organization, and AS name for hosting and datacenter keywords, because commercial VPNs almost always run on rented server infrastructure. It does not query the Tor exit list or any open-proxy scanner, so treat it as a hint and confirm anything important with the VPN Checker or Proxy Check.
Not available
Any row can read Not available. That is the tool being straight with you rather than breaking: the lookup came back without that field. It happens most often with the postal code and the coordinates, and it is normal for reserved ranges, carrier-grade NAT addresses and some IPv6 blocks.
Important accuracy notes
• Geolocation accuracy varies: Country-level data is usually reliable, but city-level data can be off by hundreds of miles.
• Mobile IPs are less precise: Mobile devices often show the location of a cell tower or carrier hub, not the user.
• VPNs and proxies mask real locations: These services intentionally hide the user's actual location. Use our VPN Checker to confirm whether an IP belongs to a known VPN provider.
• Corporate networks may show headquarters: Large organizations often route all traffic through a central location.
Common use cases
Security investigation
Trace the origin of suspicious login attempts, spam, or unusual traffic on your network, and combine the result with other tools for a fuller threat profile.
Website analytics
Identify where your visitors are coming from to improve content delivery, server placement, or regional marketing decisions.
Network troubleshooting
Diagnose routing issues, verify CDN performance, or trace connectivity problems across a network path.
Compliance and geo-blocking
Confirm that geo-restriction policies are working correctly and align with regional data protection requirements.
Technical details
A full IP lookup typically returns the following categories of information:
Basic IP information
• IP address (query): The exact IPv4 or IPv6 address that was resolved.
• IP version: Whether it is a 32-bit IPv4 or a 128-bit IPv6 address.
Geographical data
Accuracy figures below are based on published research from MaxMind's IP geolocation accuracy study, one of the primary industry database providers.
| Field | Description | Accuracy level | Common issues |
|---|---|---|---|
| Country | The country where the IP is registered | 95–99% accurate | Very reliable for most IPs |
| Region / state | State, province, or administrative region | 80–90% accurate | Can vary for mobile networks |
| City | City or metropolitan area | 60–80% accurate | Often shows the ISP hub location |
| Postal code | ZIP or postal code for the area | 50–70% accurate | Similar accuracy to city data |
| Coordinates | Latitude and longitude | Approximate | Usually the centre of the city or ISP area |
| Timezone | Local timezone for the location | 95%+ accurate | Based on country and region |
Network information
• ISP (Internet Service Provider): The company that assigned this IP address to a connection — examples include Comcast, Deutsche Telekom, and Verizon.
• Organization: The owner or operator of the IP block. This may be the ISP itself, or a separate company or institution.
• AS number and name: The Autonomous System Number — a group of IP networks under single administrative control, which helps explain how traffic routes across the internet.
Privacy and security indicators
These are the patterns an IP lookup can reveal in general. The Privacy info tab on this page tests one of them: it reads the ISP, organization and AS name as a single piece of text and reports the first hosting or datacenter keyword it finds there. Nothing else in the list below is checked.
A residential or business ISP, no proxy or VPN indicators, and consistent geographic data.
A VPN provider listed as the ISP, a hosting or datacenter organization, or proxy service indicators.
Tor exit node indicators, known anonymization services, or inconsistent and masked location data. Confirming these needs a live Tor exit list or a threat feed, which this page does not query.
