IP Address Lookup

Look up IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to review map-based location, ISP, ASN, reverse DNS, WHOIS or RDAP ownership, and network risk signals. Compare current-address tools, IPv6 utilities, and privacy checks from one search surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an IP address lookup show?

An IP address lookup can show the approximate location of the network, the ISP or organization, the ASN, reverse DNS, and registry data such as allocation and abuse contacts. Many lookups also add fraud or proxy signals to explain whether the address looks residential, mobile, hosting, VPN, or another network type.

How accurate is IP geolocation?

IP geolocation is strongest at country level and less precise at city level. It is based on network allocation and routing data, not GPS, so mobile networks, carrier-grade NAT, VPNs, and CDN edges can all make a city look wrong, broad, or shifted to a provider hub.

Can I look up IPv6 addresses too?

Yes. This site supports IPv4 and IPv6 lookups, including location, network, routing, and registry context. IPv6 results can differ from IPv4 on the same connection because some providers route them differently or only protect one stack through a VPN or proxy.

Can I find out who owns an IP address?

You can usually identify the organization or ISP responsible for an IP block, not a private person's name or street address. Registry data can show the network owner, ASN, allocation range, and abuse contact so you know which provider or company controls the address space.

Why does my IP show the wrong city?

An IP can show the wrong city when a provider registers a network block in one place but routes traffic somewhere else. Mobile carriers, CGNAT, VPNs, anycast services, and corporate gateways all make location appear less precise than people expect from map apps.

Is this lookup free and is my search stored?

The lookup is free and does not require an account. Some checks use short-lived request or browser signals to produce the result, but the site does not require a sign-up to run a normal IPv4 or IPv6 lookup.
