IP Geolocation Lookup

Look up the geolocation of any IPv4 or IPv6 address — country, region, city, ISP, ASN, and approximate coordinates.

About IP Geolocation Lookup

The IP Geolocation Lookup tool resolves the geographic location and network information associated with any IPv4 or IPv6 address, including country, region, city, postal code, latitude/longitude, timezone, ISP, organization, and Autonomous System Number (ASN). This is useful for network diagnostics, security investigations, understanding where traffic originates, debugging VPN or proxy connections, and analyzing access logs. The tool also detects your own current IP address automatically, letting you verify your apparent location from the internet's perspective. All lookups use a real-time geolocation API with MaxMind-derived data.

Why use IP Geolocation Lookup

  • Supports both IPv4 and IPv6 lookups.
  • Shows ISP, organization, and ASN in addition to geographic data.
  • Auto-detects your current IP with the 'My IP' button.
  • Results include timezone to correlate with server log timestamps.
  • Supports both IPv4 and IPv6 lookups in a single interface.
  • Auto-detects your current IP with the 'My IP' button — no need to look it up elsewhere first.

How to use IP Geolocation Lookup

  1. Enter an IPv4 or IPv6 address in the input field, or click 'My IP' to look up your own IP.
  2. Click Lookup to retrieve the geolocation data.
  3. Review the location details: country, city, ISP, ASN, and timezone.
  4. An approximate pin is shown on the map for visual reference.
  5. Enter an IPv4 or IPv6 address in the input field, or click 'My IP' to look up your own public IP automatically.
  6. Click Lookup to query the GeoIP database and retrieve the geolocation data.
  7. Review the location details: country, region, city, postal code, and timezone.

When to use IP Geolocation Lookup

  • Verifying where a VPN or proxy connection appears to originate from.
  • Identifying the country or ISP of suspicious traffic in access logs.
  • Checking your own apparent public IP and location.
  • Geolocating IPs in security incident reports.
  • Verifying where a VPN or proxy connection appears to originate from after configuration.
  • Identifying the country or ISP of suspicious traffic in web server access logs.

Examples

Public CDN IP (Cloudflare DNS)

Input: 1.1.1.1

Output: IP: 1.1.1.1 (IPv4) Country: AU (Australia) — anycast City: Research, Victoria Lat/Lon: -37.7000, 145.1833 ISP: Cloudflare, Inc. Organization: APNIC and Cloudflare DNS Resolver ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare Timezone: Australia/Melbourne

Residential ISP IP

Input: 73.162.45.220

Output: IP: 73.162.45.220 (IPv4) Country: US (United States) Region: California City: San Francisco Postal: 94110 ISP: Comcast Cable Communications ASN: AS7922 Comcast Cable Timezone: America/Los_Angeles Accuracy radius: ~20 km

Private RFC 1918 address

Input: 192.168.1.1

Output: IP: 192.168.1.1 (IPv4) Type: Private (RFC 1918 — Class C) Geolocation: not applicable Reason: This IP is reserved for private internal networks and is not routable on the public internet.

Tips

  • City-level accuracy varies — treat the city result as approximate and rely on country/ASN for stronger conclusions.
  • If the ASN points to a hosting provider (DigitalOcean, AWS, OVH), the IP is likely a server, VPN, or scraper — not a residential user.
  • GeoIP databases lag real allocation by 1-4 weeks, so very recently allocated IP ranges may show stale country data.
  • Combine with Reverse DNS Lookup — a PTR record often reveals more about the operator than geolocation alone.
  • For fraud detection, check both the IP geolocation and the timezone offset in the user's browser — mismatches are a strong VPN signal.
  • Mobile carrier IPs often geolocate to the carrier's regional hub, not the user's actual location — expect 100+ km error.
  • When auditing logs, group IPs by ASN rather than by city to see infrastructure-level patterns.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is IP geolocation?▾
Country-level accuracy is typically over 95%. City-level accuracy varies — it may be off by tens of kilometers. Coordinates shown are the center of the inferred location area, not a precise address.
Can I look up private IP addresses (192.168.x.x)?▾
Private and reserved IP ranges (RFC 1918) are not routable on the internet and have no geolocation data. The tool will indicate these are private/reserved addresses.
Does it reveal someone's home address?▾
No. IP geolocation resolves to the ISP's network infrastructure, not the subscriber's physical address. The result is typically the ISP's exchange or regional hub.
What is an ASN?▾
An Autonomous System Number (ASN) identifies a network controlled by a single organization or ISP on the internet. It is used for BGP routing.
Does it work for IPv6?▾
Yes. Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported.

Glossary

GeoIP database
A regularly updated mapping of IP address ranges to geographic and network metadata. MaxMind GeoIP2 and IP2Location are the major commercial providers; databases are typically refreshed weekly.
ASN
Autonomous System Number — a unique 16- or 32-bit identifier (e.g. AS15169 for Google) for a network or group of networks under a single administrative routing policy. Used by BGP for inter-network routing.
BGP
Border Gateway Protocol — the routing protocol that connects autonomous systems on the public internet. ASN announcements via BGP determine which network owns which IP range.
IPv4
The original Internet Protocol address format, 32 bits long, written as four dotted decimal octets (e.g. 93.184.216.34). About 4.3 billion total addresses, exhausted in 2011.
IPv6
The successor protocol with 128-bit addresses (e.g. 2606:2800:220:1:248:1893:25c8:1946) providing 3.4×10³⁸ unique addresses, designed to replace IPv4 long-term.
RFC 1918 private ranges
IP ranges reserved for private internal networks: 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, and 192.168.0.0/16 — not routable on the public internet and have no geolocation.
Anycast
A network addressing scheme where the same IP is announced from multiple physical locations and BGP routes traffic to the nearest one. Common for DNS resolvers (1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8) and CDNs.
Regional Internet Registry (RIR)
Organizations that allocate IP address blocks within geographic regions: ARIN (North America), RIPE (Europe), APNIC (Asia-Pacific), LACNIC (Latin America), AFRINIC (Africa).
