📖 What is IP Address Lookup?
IP Lookup shows geolocation data for any IP address — including country, city, region, ISP, organization, timezone and coordinates. It also shows your own public IP address. Use it to verify VPN connections, check where traffic is coming from, debug geo-targeted content, or identify the ISP behind an IP address. The lookup queries a public geolocation API.
💡 Example
Output
Country: United States
City: Mountain View, CA
ISP: Google LLC
Timezone: America/Los_Angeles
🛠️ Common Use Cases
- Checking your own public IP address and location
- Verifying VPN or proxy connections are working correctly
- Looking up the geographic origin of website visitors or log entries
- Debugging geo-targeted content delivery or CDN routing
- Identifying the ISP or organization behind an IP address
📝 What IP Geolocation Can Tell You
- Country and city — approximate location (not exact street address)
- ISP and organization — the network owner
- Timezone — useful for scheduling and localization
- Coordinates — latitude/longitude (city-level accuracy)
- IP version — IPv4 or IPv6
Note: IP geolocation is approximate. It identifies the ISP's infrastructure location, not the user's exact position.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Assuming exact location — IP geolocation gives city-level accuracy at best, not street addresses
- VPN and proxy IPs — users behind VPNs show the VPN server's location, not their real location
- Mobile IPs — mobile carrier IPs often geolocate to the carrier's hub, not the user's position
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is IP geolocation? ▾
Country-level accuracy is 95-99%. City-level accuracy is 50-80% depending on the region and ISP. It never provides street-level precision.
Can I find someone's exact location from their IP? ▾
No — IP geolocation provides approximate location based on the ISP's infrastructure. It cannot pinpoint a physical address.
Why does my IP show a different city? ▾
Your ISP may route traffic through infrastructure in a nearby city. VPN and proxy users will see the server's location.
