How It Works

1

Enter an IP, a domain, or nothing

Type an IPv4 or IPv6 address, or a domain like github.com. Leave the box empty and the tool looks up the public IP your own connection is using.

2

We resolve and geolocate it

Domains are resolved to their A/AAAA records first. The IP is then matched against a commercial geolocation and ASN database, and its PTR record is fetched.

Read the result

You get city, region, country, ISP, ASN, timezone and reverse DNS, with the approximate location on a map and an anycast flag where it applies. City-level data is an estimate, not a street address.

What an IP Lookup Tells You — and What It Doesn’t

An IP lookup maps a public address to the network that routes it and the place it is most likely used from. That answers practical questions: where a suspicious login came from, which hosting provider runs a server, whether your VPN is actually exiting where you expect, or why a chunk of your traffic comes from datacenters instead of homes. It does not identify a person or a street address — only the ISP holding the address knows which customer it was assigned to.

Reading the Results

Location
An estimate built from registry records, ISP-supplied data and network measurements. For fixed broadband the city is usually right or one over; for mobile data it is often the carrier’s regional hub hundreds of kilometres away. Treat it as “where this network is”, not “where this person is”.
ISP / Organisation
Whoever holds the address block. For cloud and hosting IPs this is the provider — Amazon, Google, DigitalOcean — not the customer running the server. To find the customer, look at the reverse DNS or the site the IP serves.
ASN
The network that announces the IP on the internet: AS55836 is Reliance Jio, AS24560 is Bharti Airtel, AS16509 is Amazon. When the organisation name is vague or a reseller’s, the ASN is the reliable identifier.
Reverse DNS
The PTR hostname set by the block owner. It often gives the game away: names like ec2-…compute.amazonaws.com mean an AWS instance, while words like “dynamic”, “pool” or “dsl” mean a residential line. Many consumer IPs have none at all, which is normal.
Anycast
Anycast means the same IP is announced from many locations at once — 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 are anycast — so any single city shown for it is meaningless. Whether an IP is a datacenter, VPN or Tor exit is a separate question: the IP reputation check reports its usage type (for example “Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit”) and abuse reports.

Common Surprises

My IP shows a different city
Usually your ISP registers its address pools to a hub city, or the block was recently moved and databases haven’t caught up. If you’re on a VPN or corporate network, you’re seeing its exit point.
Two sites show two different IPs for me
Most often one site reached you over IPv6 and the other over IPv4 — dual-stack connections have both. Otherwise, one of them is seeing a proxy or VPN the other bypasses.
My mobile IP is shared with strangers
Mobile carriers put thousands of subscribers behind one public IPv4 address (carrier-grade NAT). That is why IP-based bans and CAPTCHAs sometimes hit you for someone else’s behaviour.

Next steps: check who registered a domain or IP block with the WHOIS lookup, see whether an address is listed for spam on the blacklist check, score abuse reports with IP reputation, or verify a hostname with reverse DNS.

More Network Tools

DNS, WHOIS, SSL, blacklist and port checks for when the IP lookup is only the first question.

🛡️

IP Reputation Checker

Assess the threat reputation of any IP address. Detect VPNs, proxies, Tor exit nodes, data center ranges, and known malicious hosts to evaluate security risk before allowing access.

🚫

IP Blacklist Check

Check whether an IP address appears on major DNS-based blacklists (DNSBLs). Quickly find out if your mail server or web server IP has been flagged for spam or abuse.

🧭

Reverse DNS Lookup

Look up the PTR hostname for any IPv4 or IPv6 address and forward-confirm it back to the original IP. Essential for diagnosing email deliverability and identifying server ownership.

🔌

Open Port Checker

Check whether a specific port is open or closed on any IP address or domain. Test single ports or scan all common ports at once to diagnose firewall and connectivity issues.

🕵️

IP Privacy & Leak Test

Test whether your VPN or proxy is actually protecting you. Detect WebRTC leaks, proxy header leaks, and see exactly what information your IP address reveals to every website you visit.

📡

DNS Lookup

Query DNS records for any domain — A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, TXT, SOA, and more. Instantly see what DNS servers return for a given hostname without needing command-line tools.

🌐

DNS Propagation Checker

Check whether your DNS changes have propagated across global resolvers. See live answers from eight independent public resolvers to confirm your new records are being served.

🔐

DNSSEC Checker

Verify whether a domain’s DNS responses are cryptographically signed and validated. Inspect DS, DNSKEY, key tags, and algorithms, and detect broken or missing chains of trust.

🔍

WHOIS Lookup

Look up domain registration records including registrar, owner, creation date, expiry date, and nameservers. Useful for checking domain availability and ownership history.

🔒

SSL Certificate Checker

Instantly verify any website's SSL/TLS certificate. Check issuer, validity period, expiry date, and certificate chain. Ideal for diagnosing HTTPS issues before they affect users.

↪️

HTTP Redirect Chain Checker

Trace every 301/302/307/308 hop a URL goes through to reach its final destination. Spot long chains, HTTPS-to-HTTP downgrades, and redirect loops that hurt SEO and security.

📋

HTTP Header Checker

Inspect HTTP response headers and security headers for any website. Check HSTS, Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and more to evaluate a site's security posture.

✉️

MX Record Checker

Look up MX (Mail Exchange) records for any domain to see which mail servers handle incoming email. Essential for diagnosing email delivery problems and verifying mail configuration.

🛂

SPF, DKIM & DMARC Checker

Validate the email authentication records on any domain. Surface SPF lookup-limit issues, missing or weak DMARC policies, DKIM keys under 2048 bits, and other deliverability problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

See all questions
Is the IP shown here public or private?

It is your public IP — the address every website sees when you connect. Your private IP (usually 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x) only exists inside your home or office network, and your router translates between the two.

Why does my IP address keep changing?

Most home and mobile connections get a dynamic IP that the ISP reassigns periodically or when your router or phone reconnects. A fixed address is usually a paid “static IP” add-on. Your IPv6 address can also rotate on its own for privacy.

What information does an IP lookup show?

The IP address, approximate city, region and country, postal code, coordinates, the ISP or organisation that holds the address block, its ASN, timezone, the reverse DNS hostname if one is published, and whether the address is anycast. To see whether an IP is a datacenter, VPN or Tor exit, run it through the IP reputation check, which reports its usage type and abuse history.

How accurate is IP geolocation?

Country is right for the vast majority of addresses. City is usually right or a neighbouring city, often within 25–50 km, but mobile carriers, corporate networks and VPNs regularly resolve to a hub city or data centre far from the actual user. It never identifies a street address or a person.

Why does my IP show the wrong city?

Your ISP may route traffic through a regional hub, the address block may have been recently reassigned and the databases have not caught up, or you are behind a VPN, proxy or corporate gateway. Mobile IPs are often registered to the carrier’s central location.

Can I look up a domain name instead of an IP?

Yes. Enter a domain such as github.com and the tool resolves it to its IP address first, then shows the location and network details of the server answering for that domain. Sites behind a CDN like Cloudflare will show the CDN edge, not the origin server.

What is an ASN?

An Autonomous System Number identifies a network run by a single operator — an ISP, cloud provider, university or large company — that announces its own IP ranges on the internet via BGP. Google is AS15169, Cloudflare is AS13335, Reliance Jio is AS55836. The ASN tells you who actually routes an IP, which is often more useful than the city.
