IP Geolocation Lookup
Look up the geographic location of any IP address. Find the city, region, country, ISP, timezone, and approximate coordinates. Works for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
What Is IP Geolocation?
IP geolocation is the process of determining the approximate geographic location of a device based on its IP address. Every device connected to the internet has an IP address assigned by its Internet Service Provider (ISP). IP geolocation databases map these addresses to physical locations using registration data, routing information, and other sources.
What Information Can an IP Address Reveal?
- Country and City — The general geographic area where the IP is registered. Accuracy varies from city-level to country-level.
- ISP / Organization — The Internet Service Provider or company that owns the IP address range.
- ASN (Autonomous System Number) — The network identifier. Datacenter IPs often belong to cloud providers like AWS or DigitalOcean.
- Timezone — The timezone associated with the IP's registered location.
- Coordinates — Approximate latitude and longitude. These are NOT your exact address — they represent the general area.
How Accurate Is IP Geolocation?
IP geolocation is typically accurate at the country level (95-99%) and the city level (50-80%). It cannot determine your exact street address. VPN users will see the VPN server's location instead of their real location. Mobile users may see ISP headquarters rather than their current city. Accuracy depends on the IP geolocation database used.
Common Use Cases
- VPN verification — Check if your VPN is showing the expected server location
- Security investigation — Identify the origin of suspicious login attempts or traffic
- Content access — Verify which country your IP appears to be from for geo-restricted content
- Troubleshooting — Check if your ISP is routing your traffic through an unexpected location
- Fraud prevention — Verify that a user's claimed location matches their IP location
