IP Geolocation Details
Accuracy notice:

IP geolocation is approximate and may represent an ISP, data center, network registration location, or nearby city. It does not reveal a person’s exact home or street address.

Estimated Geographic Location

The marker represents an approximate geolocation based on IP database records.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about IP addresses and geolocation lookups.

What is an IP lookup?
An IP lookup retrieves geographic location, Internet Service Provider (ISP), ASN, and other network registration data associated with a specific IP address or domain.
What information can an IP lookup show?
It can show the country, region, city, approximate postal code, timezone, ISP, ASN, organization, and approximate coordinates of the network block.
Can an IP address reveal my exact physical address?
No, IP address geolocation only identifies the approximate location of the network node, usually pointing to the city center or local ISP gateway.
How accurate is IP geolocation?
It is generally very accurate at the country level (95%+), reasonably accurate at the city level (60-80%), but cannot determine exact home or street addresses.
Why does my IP location show the wrong city?
This can happen due to routing configurations by your ISP, out-of-date database records, or routing through regional network hubs.
What is an ISP?
An Internet Service Provider (ISP) is a company that provides access to the internet (e.g. Comcast, AT&T, Vodafone).
What is an ASN?
An Autonomous System Number (ASN) is a unique number assigned to a network or group of networks that control their own routing policies.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 uses a 32-bit numerical system (e.g., 8.8.8.8) supporting 4.3 billion addresses. IPv6 uses a 128-bit hexadecimal system supporting a virtually unlimited number of addresses.
Can I look up a domain name instead of an IP address?
Yes, if you enter a domain name, the tool resolves it to its current IP address first and then retrieves its geolocation details.
Why can a domain resolve to different IP addresses?
Domains using Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), load balancers, or Anycast routing map to different IPs to reduce load times globally.
Can a VPN change my visible IP location?
Yes, a VPN routes your connection through an encrypted tunnel to a remote server, making your IP location appear as that server's location.
Can an IP lookup identify a person?
No, an IP address only identifies a network connection. Linking an IP to a specific individual requires legal subpoena records from the ISP.
Why do different IP lookup tools show different results?
Different tools query different database providers, which may update their registry records at different times.
What is a private IP address?
A private IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.1 or 10.0.0.1) is reserved for local networks behind a router and is not routeable on the public internet.
Is an IP lookup safe to use?
Yes, querying a public IP address or domain resolves existing public database records and is completely safe and private.
