IP Lookup
Instantly see your own public IP address along with its geolocation (city, region, country), ISP, ASN, timezone, and coordinates — fetched automatically when the page loads from the ipapi.co API. A Google Maps link lets you visualize the approximate location on a map.
Below your own IP details, a second section lets you look up any arbitrary IP address. Enter a public IPv4 or IPv6 address and hit Look Up to fetch the same set of details. This is useful for investigating server locations, checking where traffic originates, verifying VPN exit points, or debugging geo-targeted content delivery.
The data comes from ipapi.co's free tier, which provides reasonable accuracy for country and region but is approximate for city-level geolocation — ISPs often register IP blocks to a central office rather than the end user's exact location. No API key is required and no data you enter is stored.

Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the geolocation?▼
Country-level accuracy is typically above 99%. Region/state accuracy is around 80-90%. City-level accuracy varies widely — it is often correct for urban areas but can be off by tens of miles in rural regions, because ISPs register IP blocks to administrative locations rather than end-user addresses.
Can I look up private/internal IP addresses like 192.168.x.x?▼
No. Private IP ranges (10.x.x.x, 172.16-31.x.x, 192.168.x.x) are not routable on the public internet and have no geolocation data. The tool only works with public IP addresses.
Why does my IP show a different city than where I am?▼
Your ISP may route your traffic through a regional hub, or your IP block may be registered to a corporate office in another city. If you are using a VPN, the location shown will be the VPN server's location, not yours.
Is there a rate limit on lookups?▼
The ipapi.co free tier allows roughly 1,000 requests per day from a single IP. For occasional use this is more than sufficient. If you hit the limit, the API returns an error and the tool will display it.
Is my looked-up IP address stored anywhere?▼
Not by this tool — the request goes directly from your browser to ipapi.co's API. Refer to ipapi.co's privacy policy for how they handle API requests on their end.
