IP Lookup
Enter an IP address to see where it is and which network it belongs to, or leave it blank to look up your own.
About the IP Lookup tool
An IP lookup turns a bare address into context: which country and region it maps to, which network or provider operates it, the ASN (the autonomous system number that identifies that network), and any reverse-DNS hostname registered for it. It accepts both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Leave the field blank and it looks up the address your own connection is using.
How to use it
- Type or paste an IP such as
8.8.8.8into the field. - Or leave it empty to inspect your own public IP.
- Read the country, network/ASN and reverse-DNS lines in the result.
This is handy for checking where a suspicious login came from, identifying which provider hosts a server, or confirming a VPN exit node. Keep in mind that IP geolocation is approximate - it reflects where the network is registered or routed, not a street address, and can be wrong for mobile, VPN or cloud ranges. The address you enter is sent to our server only to compute the result, and is not stored.
Frequently asked questions
What information can an IP lookup reveal?
It typically shows the country and region, the owning network and its ASN, and any reverse-DNS hostname. It does not reveal a person's name, exact address or browsing activity.
What is an ASN?
An Autonomous System Number identifies a network operator on the internet, such as an ISP or a cloud provider. Seeing the ASN tells you which organisation routes traffic for that IP range.
Can I look up an IPv6 address here?
Yes. The tool accepts both IPv4 (like 8.8.8.8) and IPv6 (like 2001:4860:4860::8888) and returns the same network and location details for each.
Why is the location different from where the person actually is?
Geolocation maps IP ranges to networks, not to homes. VPNs, mobile carriers, satellite and corporate routing can all place an address far from its real user.
