Frequently Asked Questions

What does an IP lookup show?

An IP lookup reveals the geolocation, ISP, organisation, ASN, and whether the IP belongs to a VPN, proxy, or data centre — using publicly available IP registry data combined with geolocation databases.

Is the IP lookup free?

Yes — completely free, instant results, no signup required.

How accurate is IP geolocation?

IP geolocation is accurate to the country level in ~99% of cases and to the city level in ~70-80% of cases. VPNs and proxies will show the VPN server location, not the user's real location.

Can I look up IPv6 addresses?

Yes. Enter any IPv6 address in the full or compressed format (e.g. 2001:4860:4860::8888) and we will return the geolocation and ISP details.

Why does my IP show the wrong location?

ISPs assign IP addresses in blocks that may be registered in a different city or region than you are in. VPN users will see their VPN server location instead of their real location.

What an IP lookup can and cannot tell you

Every device on the internet is reached through an IP address. A lookup matches an address against public databases to show who operates it and roughly where it is. That helps you make sense of addresses in server logs, spot visitors coming through VPNs or data centres, and investigate suspicious logins or traffic.

What the results mean

Location. The country is usually right. The city is often wrong, especially on mobile networks, which route traffic through regional hubs, and can be hundreds of kilometres off. An IP address never reveals a street address.
ISP and organisation. The company that owns the address: a home broadband provider, a mobile carrier, a hosting company, or a large organisation's own network.
ASN. The autonomous system number identifies the network that announces the address on the internet. A provider's addresses share a few ASNs, which makes the ASN useful for blocking or allowing whole networks.
VPN, proxy or hosting. Addresses in data centres or known VPN ranges. Traffic from them usually comes from bots, servers or VPN users rather than people on home connections.

Why a lookup can be wrong

Location databases are built from registration records and network measurements, and addresses are reassigned all the time. VPNs, company networks, satellite and mobile links, and IPv6 privacy addresses all reduce accuracy. Treat the location as a hint, never as proof of where someone is.

Your own address

Every site you visit sees your IP address in exactly this way. What Is My IP shows what yours reveals. A VPN replaces it with the VPN provider's address, and the WebRTC leak test confirms your real address is not leaking around it.
