IP geolocation lookup
Enter any IPv4, IPv6 address or domain to trace its approximate location, ISP and network. Leave it blank to look up your own.
Coordinates mark the centre of the ISP's registered service area, not a device. Accuracy is typically city-level. Need ownership details? Run a WHOIS lookup.
How IP geolocation works
IP geolocation maps an address to a physical location using databases that combine registry records (which block of addresses belongs to which provider), the routing infrastructure of that provider, and crowd-sourced signals. The result is an estimate, not a GPS fix.
How accurate is it?
- Country — correct ~95%+ of the time.
- Region/state — usually correct, occasionally off for large ISPs.
- City — a reasonable guess that can be the ISP's hub city rather than yours.
- Street address — not possible from IP alone.
VPNs, proxies, mobile carriers and corporate networks shift the apparent location to wherever the egress point sits. That's exactly why a WebRTC leak can be so revealing — it can bypass the VPN and expose your real address.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I find someone's exact address from their IP?
No. Geolocation resolves to a city or region at best. Only the person's ISP can link an address to a subscriber, and they release that only under legal process.
Why does a domain return a different location than expected?
We resolve the domain to the server's IP, so you get the data centre's location — often a cloud region like Virginia or Frankfurt — not the company's office.
Does this work for IPv6?
Yes. Paste any valid IPv6 address and it will be geolocated the same way as IPv4.
Who owns this network?
Pull the registry record, allocation range and abuse contact for any IP.
