About IP Lookup
What does this tool do?
Our IP lookup tool identifies the geographical location and network information associated with any IP address. It provides detailed information including country, region, city, ISP, and organization data for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
Why is this useful?
IP lookup helps you understand the origin and characteristics of internet traffic, enabling better security analysis, visitor insights, and network troubleshooting. It's essential for cybersecurity professionals, web administrators, and anyone curious about internet infrastructure.
Who uses this tool?
- Security professionals - Investigate suspicious activities and trace potential threats
- Web administrators - Analyze visitor patterns and optimize content delivery
- Network engineers - Troubleshoot connectivity issues and routing problems
- Digital marketers - Understand audience demographics and geographic distribution
- Researchers and students - Learn about internet infrastructure and IP addressing
How to use this tool
- Enter an IP address in the search field (IPv4 like 8.8.8.8 or IPv6 like 2001:4860:4860::8888)
- Click "Search" to perform the lookup
- Review the results using the different view options (Summary, Detailed, Privacy)
- Explore the map to see the approximate geographical location
- Copy the results link to share your findings with others
Example
Try looking up Google's public DNS server: 8.8.8.8 or Cloudflare's DNS: 1.1.1.1. These will show you how major tech companies distribute their infrastructure globally.
Understanding your results
- Country/Region/City
- The geographical location where the IP address is registered. Note that this may not reflect the actual user's location, especially for mobile devices or VPN users.
- ISP (Internet Service Provider)
- The company that provides internet access for this IP address. This could be a residential ISP, mobile carrier, or hosting provider.
- Organization
- The entity that owns or operates the IP address block. This might be the same as the ISP or could be a specific company or institution.
- AS Number & Name
- Autonomous System information - a collection of IP networks under single administrative control. Useful for understanding network routing and ownership.
- Timezone
- The local timezone for the IP's registered location, helpful for understanding when users might be active.
Important accuracy notes
- Geolocation accuracy varies: Country-level data is usually accurate, but city-level data can be off by hundreds of miles
- Mobile IPs are less precise: Mobile devices often show the location of cellular towers or ISP hubs
- VPNs and proxies mask real locations: These services intentionally hide the user's actual location
- Corporate networks may show headquarters: Large organizations often route traffic through central locations
Common use cases
