IP Address Lookup

Query any IP address for location, ISP, ASN, and detailed information

How IP Location Lookup Works

๐Ÿ”

Enter an IP Address

Type any IPv4 or IPv6 address into the search box. You can also enter a domain name โ€” it will be automatically resolved to its IP address. Leave the field empty to look up your own public IP address.

๐ŸŒ

Query Multiple Data Sources

Our system queries multiple geolocation databases in real-time. This ensures high accuracy and redundancy โ€” if one source is unavailable, others provide fallback data.

What is IP Geolocation?

IP geolocation is the technique of determining the geographic location of a device connected to the Internet using its IP address. Each IP address is assigned to a specific organization or Internet Service Provider (ISP), and these assignments are registered in public databases maintained by Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) such as RIPE, ARIN, APNIC, LACNIC, and AFRINIC.

IP geolocation data is widely used for various legitimate purposes, including:

  • Content localization โ€” Serving region-appropriate content and language settings to website visitors.
  • Network security โ€” Identifying suspicious login locations and detecting potential fraud or unauthorized access.
  • Compliance and analytics โ€” Understanding geographic distribution of users for business intelligence and regulatory compliance.
  • Spam prevention โ€” Filtering traffic from known malicious IP ranges.

Please note that IP geolocation is an approximation. The accuracy depends on the data provider and can range from country-level to city-level precision. IP addresses can also be routed through VPNs, proxies, or mobile networks, which may result in location data that differs from the user's actual physical location.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this IP lookup tool free to use?

Yes, IP Location Lookup is completely free. There are no hidden fees or usage limits for basic lookups. We support the service through optional advertisements.

How accurate is the geolocation data?

Accuracy varies by data provider and IP address. Generally, country-level accuracy is above 99%, while city-level accuracy typically ranges from 50% to 80%. Data for mobile networks and VPN users may be less precise, as the IP may reflect the network infrastructure location rather than the user's physical position.

What does the risk score mean?

The risk score is based on community-reported abuse data from security researchers and network operators worldwide. A score of 0 indicates no reported abuse, while higher scores indicate more reported incidents. The risk level is categorized as: Safe (0), Low (1-24), Medium (25-49), High (50-74), or Critical (75-100).

What is an ASN (Autonomous System Number)?

An Autonomous System (AS) is a collection of IP networks and routers operated by a single organization. ASNs are used to identify these networks in the global routing table. For example, major cloud providers like Amazon (AS16509), Google (AS15169), and Cloudflare (AS13335) each have their own ASNs. ASN data helps identify the hosting provider or network operator behind an IP address.

Can I use this tool to track someone's exact location?

No. IP geolocation provides only approximate location data (typically city or region level). It cannot determine a person's exact physical address. Additionally, using IP lookup data to stalk, harass, or monitor individuals is strictly prohibited and may violate applicable laws. Please refer to our Terms of Service for acceptable use policies.

Why does my IP show a different location than where I am?

There are several reasons for this: (1) You may be using a VPN or proxy service, which masks your real IP. (2) Your ISP may route traffic through infrastructure in a different city or region. (3) Mobile network IPs are often assigned from a central pool that may be located far from the user. (4) The geolocation database may have outdated or inaccurate data for your specific IP range.

What data sources does this tool use?

We aggregate data from multiple reputable third-party geolocation databases and security intelligence services. Using multiple sources ensures higher accuracy and availability.
