IP address lookup

Enter any IP address to see its approximate location, ISP, and network owner. Leave it blank to look up your own.

How to use the ip address lookup

  1. Enter any IP address in the box (or leave it blank for your own).

  3. Read the location, ISP, ASN, and timezone details returned.

About IP geolocation

Geolocation maps an address to the network that owns it — usually accurate to the city or region, not a street. It's the same approximate picture a website builds about every visitor, and exactly what a VPN replaces with the exit node's details.

Code & API examples

Use this from the command line or your code.

Lookup any IP (curl)
curl https://ipwho.is/8.8.8.8

Frequently asked questions

It maps an address to the network that owns it — usually accurate to the city or region, not a street. It's the same approximate data a website sees about you.

An Autonomous System Number identifies the network operator that owns a block of IP addresses, such as an ISP or hosting company.

Leave the field blank and run the lookup — it resolves the public IP your browser is connecting from. To check a specific address, paste it in instead.

Often yes. Addresses owned by hosting or cloud providers show their ASN and organization rather than a consumer ISP, which is a strong hint the IP is a VPN, proxy, or server.

The ISP is the provider that routes the address; the organization is the entity the block is registered to. For home users they match, but a company or hosting customer may differ from the carrier.

The IP may be registered to a network headquartered elsewhere, routed through another region, or recently reassigned. Geolocation reflects registration and routing, not necessarily the user's physical location.

No. GPS reports a device's exact coordinates; IP geolocation only estimates location from which network owns the address — typically accurate to a city, sometimes only a country.

Yes. Enter the full IPv6 address and the lookup returns its network owner, ASN, and approximate location, the same as it does for IPv4.

Each service uses its own geolocation database, and these are updated on different schedules from different sources. Disagreement at the city level is normal; the country is usually consistent.

No. A geolocation lookup queries public registry and database records, not the address itself, so nothing is sent to the IP and the owner sees nothing.

Run a DNS lookup on the domain to get its IP, then paste that address here for location and network details. Note that sites behind a CDN return the CDN's IP, not the origin server's.

No. Consistent with our no-logs posture, lookups run on demand and aren't recorded or tied to you. The result reflects public registry data, nothing about who searched it.
