IP lookup

Check your IP address

See the public IP you are connecting from, or look up any other address: where it is, which network it belongs to, and what kind of connection it is.

What an IP lookup tells you

Every public IP address is registered to a network. These are the details we show for it.

Location
The country, state, city and coordinates the IP is mapped to. This is an estimate based on the network's registration and routing, usually accurate to the city, not to a street address.
Network owner
The ASN (autonomous system number) and ISP that operate the address, plus the network range it belongs to. This helps you tell a home broadband line from a mobile carrier or a data center.
Connection type
Whether the address looks like a residential line, a mobile network or a hosting provider and, when data is available, whether it is flagged as a VPN, proxy or Tor exit, with a risk score. The fields shown depend on the data available.

How to use it

Open this page and your own public IP is looked up automatically.
To look up another address, type or paste an IPv4 or IPv6 address into the box and press Look up.
Read the summary: location, network range and IP type, and the risk score when it is available. Below it are the location details, ASN and ISP, and the security status.
Press Check my IP to go back to your own address, or use the copy button next to the address.

All fields explained

Some fields appear only when the data provider returns them; the free data plan returns fewer fields than the paid ones.

IP address: The address that was looked up. IPv4 and IPv6 are supported; if you leave the box empty, your own public IP is looked up.
Usage type badge: Shown at the top right. It describes what the network is used for, such as residential broadband, mobile, data center or enterprise — not whether the address is public or private.
Country: The country the address is registered to.
State / province (Region): The state, province or region inside the country.
District (District): A finer administrative area. It is empty for some countries.
City: The city the address is mapped to. For VPN, proxy and data center addresses it may point to where the servers are.
Coordinates: Latitude and longitude for reference. Accuracy depends on the type of address.
ZIP / postal code: The postal code of the mapped area. Not every region has one.
Time zone: The IANA time zone name with its UTC offset.
ASN: The autonomous system number, written like AS174. It identifies the network that announces the address.
ASN name: The organization name of that autonomous system.
ISP: The internet service provider, carrier or cloud provider that operates the address.
Domain: A domain associated with the address. Often empty.
Usage Type: The type of network: residential broadband, mobile, data center, enterprise, education, government, CDN and so on. It follows the type of the network the address belongs to (its AS), so an address inside an ISP's network is shown as ISP even if the address itself is used for hosting.
Address Type: How the address is used, for example unicast or anycast.
Net Speed: An estimate of the connection class of the network, for example T1.
Network range / IP type: The network block (CIDR) the address belongs to, plus a native or non-native label. An address counts as native when it is not flagged as a proxy, its usage type is residential broadband or mobile, and its address type is unicast.
Risk score (Fraud Score): A 0–100 score; the higher it is, the higher the risk. The bar color follows the level.
Abuse score (Abuser Score): A rating of how often this IP's network was recently seen in abuse such as spam or scanning. It is shown when the risk score above is not available, and it is a different measure from the Fraud Score.
Proxy / VPN / Tor / Data center: Whether the address is flagged as a proxy, a VPN, a Tor exit node or a data center range. “Proxy” is the master switch: when it is “No”, VPN, Tor and Data center are all shown as “No” and the proxy type as “No data”, so the page does not contradict itself.
Proxy type: The kind of proxy, when one is detected.

IP lookup FAQ

What is my IP address?

It is the public address your connection uses to reach websites. This page shows it automatically when it loads. If you use a VPN or proxy, you will see the address of the VPN or proxy server instead of your own.

How accurate is the location?

IP geolocation is an estimate. It is usually right at country level and often at city level, but it cannot show a street address or your exact position, and it can be off for mobile networks, VPNs and data centers.

Why does the result change when I use a VPN?

Websites only see the address of the server your traffic leaves from. With a VPN or proxy on, that is the server's address and location. Checking this page before and after connecting is a quick way to confirm which address you are using.

Is my lookup stored?

The queried IP and normalized result are stored once per IP in our database to avoid repeated calls to data providers. We do not store who queried it, query counts, or a per-request history, and the result is not linked to your account. The IP is sent to IP2Location.io, ipapi.is and proxycheck.io only when our database has no result.
