Free IP Address Lookup Tool
Wondering "what is my IP address?" Our free IP lookup tool instantly shows your public IP address and provides detailed geolocation data including country, city, region, coordinates, and timezone, plus network details like ISP, organization, user type, and connection type. You can also look up any IPv4 or IPv6 address to find its location and network information.
What is an IP Address?
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique numerical identifier assigned to every device connected to the internet. It works like a mailing address, allowing data to be routed to and from your device. There are two formats: IPv4 (e.g., 192.168.1.1) with about 4.3 billion possible addresses, and IPv6 (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334) which provides virtually unlimited addresses.
How IP Geolocation Works
IP geolocation determines the approximate physical location of an IP address by analyzing routing information and regional IP allocations. Our tool uses the DB-IP database to provide accurate country-level data (95%+ accuracy) and city-level estimates (50-80% accuracy). The location typically represents your ISP's network center, not your exact address.

FAQ
How accurate is IP geolocation?
IP geolocation is generally accurate at the country and region level (95%+ accuracy). City-level accuracy varies between 50-80% depending on the ISP and network infrastructure. The coordinates provided are approximate and typically point to the ISP's network center rather than your exact physical location.
Can I hide my IP address?
Yes, you can hide your real IP address using a VPN (Virtual Private Network), proxy server, or the Tor browser. These tools route your traffic through different servers, masking your original IP address and location.
Why does my IP location seem wrong?
IP geolocation databases may show incorrect locations due to: VPN or proxy usage, outdated database information, mobile network routing, or ISP infrastructure locations. The location shown typically represents where your ISP's network infrastructure is located, not your exact physical address.
Is IP lookup free?
Yes, our IP lookup tool is completely free to use. You can check your own IP address or look up any public IP address without any cost or registration required.
What is ASN?
ASN (Autonomous System Number) is a unique identifier assigned to networks on the internet. It helps identify which organization owns and operates a particular block of IP addresses, such as an ISP, company, or university.
What is the difference between ISP and organization?
The ISP (Internet Service Provider) is the company that delivers internet connectivity to the IP address, such as Comcast, Vodafone, or Deutsche Telekom. The organization is the entity that has been allocated or is using that IP block. It is often the same as the ISP, but for corporate, hosting, or government IPs it can be a specific company, data center provider, or institution.
What do user type and connection type mean?
User type describes the kind of network behind the IP address. Common values include residential, business, cellular, hosting, school, government, and library. Connection type describes the underlying network technology, such as Cable/DSL, Cellular, Corporate, Dialup, or Satellite. Together they help identify whether traffic is coming from a home user, a mobile network, a data center, or an enterprise.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses (e.g., 192.168.1.1) and supports about 4.3 billion addresses. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334) and provides virtually unlimited addresses. Both formats are supported by our IP lookup tool.
Can I use this tool for security purposes?
Yes, IP lookup is commonly used for security purposes including identifying suspicious login attempts, tracking potential threats, verifying user locations for fraud prevention, and investigating security incidents.
