IP Address Lookup & Geolocation Tool

Look up the approximate location and network details of any IP address, or your own.

Web & SEO ToolsIP AddressNetworking

Use our free online IP Address Lookup tool to instantly find the approximate physical location, Internet Service Provider (ISP), Autonomous System Number (ASN), and network details for any public IPv4 or IPv6 address. Enter an IP address below, or leave the field blank to check your own public IP address.

We do not log or store the IP addresses you look up.

This tool sends your input directly from your browser to geojs.io, a free IP geolocation API.

How Our IP Address Lookup Tool Works

When you perform an IP Address Lookup, your browser queries geojs.io directly using client-side JavaScript. IP geolocation estimates a physical location based on internet registry databases maintained by Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) like APNIC and ARIN. It identifies the network node where your traffic connects rather than tracking physical GPS coordinates.

Understanding IP Geolocation Accuracy & Limitations

IP-based location resolution is an approximation, not a pinpoint tracking mechanism. While country and city-level accuracy is highly reliable (often exceeding 95% accuracy for fixed landline connections), city precision varies under certain networking conditions:

  • Mobile Data Networks: Cellular carriers route traffic through regional gateways, so a phone in one town may show an IP address registered 100 km away.
  • Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) & Proxies: Using a VPN masks your actual IP with the server’s IP address, altering the reported geolocation.
  • Dynamic Corporate IPs: Businesses sharing central gateways will display the location of the central routing hub.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why is the location wrong for my own IP address?

IP geolocation reflects where your IP address is registered, which for mobile/VPN connections is often a different city than where you actually are — this is a real limitation of IP-based location, not a bug in this tool.

Is my IP address logged?

We do not log or store the IP addresses you look up on our own server; the lookup itself happens directly between your browser and geojs.io.
