IP Lookup & Geolocation
Enter any IPv4 or IPv6 address. Get the city, region, ISP, ASN, timezone, and a map. Works for any public IP — leave the field blank to look up your own.
What an IP lookup actually tells you
IP geolocation is approximate, not surveillance-grade. The data comes from public registries (RIRs like ARIN, RIPE, APNIC) cross-referenced with ISP-published location data and crowd-sourced datasets.
What's accurate
- Country is essentially always correct (99%+).
- ISP / ASN is also reliable — this comes straight from the regional internet registries.
- Timezone is usually right.
What's fuzzy
- City is approximate. Often it's the city of the ISP's central office, not where the IP is physically used. A Comcast IP in rural Vermont might "geolocate" to Boston or Burlington.
- Latitude/longitude is similarly fuzzy — accurate to about a city/county, not a street.
- VPN and proxy IPs show the location of the VPN exit node, not the user. (That's the whole point.)
- Mobile carriers often show only the regional gateway, which can be hundreds of miles from the actual phone.
What it doesn't tell you
- The owner's name. ISPs don't publish customer info.
- Their physical street address. Geolocation databases work at city level only.
- What they're doing on the internet. The IP is just a routable identifier.
What ASN means
Autonomous System Number — a globally unique identifier for an organization that controls a chunk of the internet. AS7922 is Comcast. AS15169 is Google. AS13335 is Cloudflare. Looking up the ASN tells you which network operator owns the IP, which is more reliable than city-level geolocation.
Lookups for your own IP use Cloudflare's edge geolocation data — no third-party APIs, no rate limits, no extra logs. Lookups for other IPs go through our server, which proxies to ipwho.is for the data. Your browser never talks directly to a third-party geolocation service from this page.
