IP Address Lookup
Find your public IP address and get detailed information about any IP including location, ISP, and timezone.
About this calculator
Find your public IP address, or look up any IP address to see the approximate location, ISP and timezone.
IP lookups are approximate and are useful for network troubleshooting and curiosity, not for pinpointing anyone.
How to use it
- Press the lookup button (or enter an IP).
- Wait a moment while the result loads.
- Read the address and location details.
What the result means
Every device on the internet appears with an IP address. IP geolocation maps that address to an approximate place using databases built from registry data, ISP records and network measurements. It is usually accurate to the country level (95%+), less so to the city, and often only identifies the ISP's regional hub. VPNs, mobile networks and corporate proxies show the location of the exit point, not the user. An IP address does not identify a person or an exact street address. Lookups send the address to a third-party geolocation service.
Worked example
Typical result fields
| IP | 203.0.113.7 (documentation example) |
| Location | City, region, country (approximate) |
| ISP | Your internet provider |
| Timezone | e.g. Asia/Kolkata |
Tips and common mistakes
- IP geolocation is approximate; do not use it as proof of location.
- Your IP can change when you reconnect or move networks.
- A VPN replaces your visible IP with the VPN server's.
- Mobile networks often show the carrier's central location.
- Don't publish your IP in public posts if you want privacy.
Frequently asked questions
What is an IP address?
A number that identifies a device or network on the internet.
How accurate is IP geolocation?
Country-level is usually right; city-level often is not.

No, only the ISP and approximate area.
Why does my location look wrong?
Your ISP's routing or a VPN.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 is 32-bit; IPv6 is 128-bit.
Does the lookup send data elsewhere?
Yes, the IP is sent to a public geolocation service to get the result.
