See your public IP address, or look up any IPv4 or IPv6 address to check its country, city, ISP, ASN, timezone and approximate location on a map.

What is an IP address?

An IP address is the number that identifies a device or network on the internet. Every website you visit sees the public IP address of your connection, which is assigned by your internet service provider or mobile carrier.

What can an IP lookup tell you?

  • The country, region and city the address is registered to.
  • The internet service provider and organization that operates the network.
  • The ASN (Autonomous System Number) that routes the traffic.
  • The timezone and approximate map coordinates.

How accurate is IP geolocation?

IP geolocation is an estimate. Country-level results are usually reliable, while city-level results can be off by many kilometres. VPNs, proxies, mobile networks and shared office connections can all show a location that differs from where you really are.

Lookups are sent from your browser to the third-party service ipwho.is, and the map is provided by OpenStreetMap. We do not store the addresses you search for. Read our Privacy Policy for more.

IP lookup FAQ

What is my IP address?

Your public IP address is the address your internet provider assigns to your connection, and it is what websites see when you visit them. Open this page and your public IP is detected automatically; tap “Detect my IP” to check it again, for example after switching from Wi-Fi to mobile data.

Can an IP lookup show the exact location of a person?

No. IP geolocation maps an address to a network range, so the result is usually the city or the provider's regional hub, not a street address or a person. Accuracy is better for countries than for cities.

What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?

IPv4 addresses have four numbers separated by dots, such as 8.8.8.8. IPv6 addresses are longer and use hexadecimal groups separated by colons, such as 2001:4860:4860::8888. IPv6 was created because the world is running out of IPv4 addresses. This tool accepts both.

Why does my IP show the wrong city?

Providers often route traffic through a central data centre, and mobile networks, VPNs and corporate networks can make your address appear in another city or country. Location databases can also be out of date.

Is this IP lookup private?

The lookup is sent from your browser to a third-party IP data service (ipwho.is). We do not store the addresses you look up. The map is loaded from OpenStreetMap. See our Privacy Policy for details.
