Free IP Address Lookup
Look up the location, ISP, ASN and timezone of any public IP address — or your own — instantly and free. Enter an IPv4 or IPv6 address, or a domain like google.com, and get the country, region, city, postal code, coordinates, timezone with local time, and network owner, plus a map pin. No sign-up, no limits, and nothing you look up is ever stored: lookups go straight from your browser to the geolocation provider.
Leave blank (or tap My IP) to detect your own address. Private addresses like 192.168.x.x have no public location — the tool will tell you exactly why.
How to Use
- 1Leave the field blank to detect your own public IP, or enter any IPv4 / IPv6 address — or a domain name.
- 2Click Track IP. Domain names are resolved to an IP first, then looked up.
- 3Read the network card (ISP, organization, ASN, domain) and the location card (city, region, country, postal code, coordinates, timezone, local time).
- 4Check the map pin and the reveals / never-reveals panel, then copy any field — or all details at once.
- 5Re-run recent lookups from the session-history chips. Leaving the page erases the history.
Key Features
- ✓
Your IP on load + any IP or domain
The tool detects your own public address the moment it loads, and you can look up any IPv4 or IPv6 address — or type a domain like google.com and it resolves to an IP first, then looks that up.
- ✓
Full location + network profile
Country with flag, region, city, postal code, coordinates, continent, timezone with the local time there, ISP, organization, ASN and associated domain — in one view, with copy buttons on every field.
- ✓
Map pin, no API key needed
Every result with coordinates gets an OpenStreetMap pin so you can see the network's registered area at a glance — with an honest note that the pin marks a city or ISP facility, never a street address.
- ✓
Private-address intelligence
Paste a 192.168.x.x, loopback, link-local or carrier-grade NAT address and you get a plain-English explanation of exactly why it has no public location, instead of a generic error.
- ✓
Session history, nothing stored
Recent lookups stay as clickable chips for the session only. Nothing is saved to an account, a database or even your browser storage — leave the page and the history is gone.
- ✓
What it reveals — and what it never does
Every result carries a two-column honesty panel: an IP reveals an approximate area, an ISP and an ASN. It never reveals a name, a street address, a phone number or browsing history.

What is an IP address?
An IP address is the number every device uses to send and receive data on the internet — like a return address on an envelope. Every website you visit sees your public IP address, and every server you run has one too. There are two versions in use today: IPv4 (four numbers, like 8.8.8.8) and IPv6 (longer hexadecimal groups, like 2001:4860:4860::8888). IPv4 is running out, so networks are steadily moving to IPv6 — this free ip address lookup handles both.
| Version | Looks like | Note |
|---|---|---|
| IPv4 | 8.8.8.8 | ~4.3 billion addresses — exhausted, so addresses are shared and reused. |
| IPv6 | 2001:4860:4860::8888 | Virtually unlimited addresses — every device can have its own. |
How accurate is IP geolocation?
An IP lookup answers one narrow question: which network owns this address, and where does that network say it is? It never contacts the device itself. Country-level results are backed by registry records and are almost always right; city-level results are estimates that drift when ISPs route traffic through a regional hub, when a mobile carrier uses a distant gateway, or when a VPN or proxy terminates the traffic far from the user.
| Version | Typical accuracy | Why it drifts |
|---|---|---|
| Country | ~99% | Backed by registry allocation records. |
| Region / state | 80–90% | Large ISPs reuse blocks across neighbouring states. |
| City | 55–80% | Often resolves to the ISP hub, not the subscriber. |
| ISP / ASN | 95%+ | Derived from routing and registry data, not estimation. |
Rule of thumb: trust the country, treat the city as a hint, and trust the ASN when you need to know who is actually responsible for an address.
Common uses for an IP lookup
Checking a login alert is the most common one: an account warns about a sign-in from an unfamiliar place, and the country and ISP tell you in seconds whether it matches a trip, a phone on cellular data, or nothing you recognise. Server admins triage logs the same way — repeated failed logins from a hosting ASN are grounds for blocking the range. Developers verify VPNs (the result should show the VPN provider, not the home ISP), diagnose geo-blocking, and confirm which country their visitors actually resolve to before choosing server regions. Pair it with a DNS lookup to see the records behind a domain, or a website health check when a site behaves differently by region.
How to protect your IP address — and report abuse
A VPN or proxy masks your real address by terminating your traffic at its own server: websites then see the VPN's IP and location instead of yours. That is also why a lookup of a VPN address shows a data centre, not a home — it is working as designed. If an address is attacking, spamming or scraping you, the report goes to the network that operates it, not to a lookup site: take the ASN and organization from the result, find the block's published abuse contact, and include the offending address, timestamps with timezone, and a few raw log lines. Cloud providers also run their own abuse forms, which usually move faster than email for addresses inside AWS, Google Cloud or Azure.
