IP Address Lookup

What is an IP Address?

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique numerical label assigned to every device connected to a computer network. It serves two main purposes: identifying the host or network interface, and providing the location of the host in the network.

There are two versions in use today — IPv4 (e.g. 192.168.1.1) and IPv6 (e.g. 2001:db8::1). IPv6 was introduced to address the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses globally.

Your public IP address is assigned by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and is visible to websites and online services you connect to. This tool detects it automatically and shows you related geolocation and network data.

• Is my exact address revealed?
  No. IP geolocation only shows an approximate city-level location — never your home address or precise GPS position.
• Why might the location be wrong?
  IP geolocation is approximate and can be off by tens to hundreds of kilometers. VPNs and proxies will show the server's location instead of yours.
• Can I look up any IP address?
  Yes — enter any valid IPv4 or IPv6 address in the lookup box above to see its geolocation and network details.
• What is an ISP?
  An Internet Service Provider (ISP) is the company that provides you with internet access. Your IP is allocated from their pool of addresses.
