IP Lookup

The IP Lookup tool finds your public IP address and shows everything a third party can learn from it: approximate location (country, region, city), timezone, coordinates, internet provider, and ASN. When the page loads, your own IP is detected automatically — no need to search "what is my IP" anywhere else. Paste any IPv4 address or hostname and you get the same report instantly, which makes this the fastest way to find IP address details behind a visitor, a mail server, or a suspicious address in your server logs. Every IP address belongs to a block managed by some organisation — an ISP, a cloud provider, a VPN company — and an IP address lookup reads public registration and geolocation databases to describe that block. That is why it works for verifying your VPN, debugging geo-restrictions, or spotting bots in your analytics: the lookup shows the network identity behind the address, not a street address. All queries run through our server-side proxy to bypass browser CORS restrictions, and the addresses you search are never stored or logged.

1. 1

   When the page loads, your own public IP address is displayed automatically at the top of the tool card — nothing to do if you just want to see "what is my IP".

2. 2

   To look up another address, paste an IPv4 address (e.g. 8.8.8.8) or a hostname (e.g. github.com) into the input field.

3. 3

   Click Lookup (or press Enter). The results appear instantly: country, region, city, timezone, latitude/longitude, ISP/organization, and ASN.

4. 4

   Use the Copy button to grab any field's value, or open the map link to see the approximate location on OpenStreetMap.

5. 5

   All lookups are processed through our server-side proxy to bypass browser CORS restrictions — we do not log or store the IPs you search.

• Find your own public IP address instantly — no need to search "what is my IP" on Google.
• Verify your VPN or proxy is working: the location should match your VPN's exit server, not your real one.
• Investigate suspicious IPs from server logs, firewall alerts, or email headers.
• Identify the ISP and ASN behind a website visitor — or a server you're connecting to.
• Debug geo-blocking: check which country a service will see your IP as.
• Spot bots and scrapers: cloud-provider ASNs (AWS, GCP, DigitalOcean) are a strong bot signal.

• Treat geolocation as approximate. Country-level is ~99% accurate; city-level only 50–80%. Never act on an IP lookup's coordinates as if they were precise.
• Read the ASN first when triaging traffic: a residential ISP means a real user, a cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Hetzner) usually means automation or a VPN.
• Verify VPNs by comparing the lookup result against your VPN provider's advertised exit server location — a mismatch usually means a leak.
• Pair the lookup with a reverse DNS or WHOIS check (our DNS Lookup tool covers this) to confirm the organisation behind an address.
• For security decisions, cross-check suspicious IPs against threat-intelligence databases like AbuseIPDB or AlienVault OTX — a geolocation lookup alone is not a verdict.
• Remember CGNAT and mobile gateways: many users share one public IP, so a single address can represent hundreds of different people.

• Your public IP usually changes when your router reconnects on most residential plans — use a dynamic DNS service if you need a stable address.
• The ASN is the fastest bot-detection heuristic: a visitor from AS16509 (AWS) or AS15169 (Google) is rarely a human browsing your site.
• If the lookup shows a country you don't expect, check whether your ISP uses CGNAT — shared IPs are common on mobile and some fibre connections.
• Verifying a VPN: run the lookup, then compare the country shown against your VPN provider's advertised exit location. Any mismatch is worth investigating.
