Looking up IP information...
Every device connected to the internet has an IP address — a numerical identifier that enables communication between systems across the global network. When you visit a website, your browser sends requests that include your public IP address, allowing the server to send responses back to you. This IP address also carries metadata about your approximate geographic location, internet service provider, and connection type, which is useful for developers debugging network issues, testing geo-restrictions, or verifying VPN configurations.
IPv4 addresses are the familiar four-number format (e.g., 203.0.113.42) that has been in use since 1981. With only about 4.3 billion possible addresses, IPv4 is running out. IPv6 was introduced with a vastly larger address space (128 bits vs. 32 bits), using hexadecimal notation like 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334. Most modern systems support both protocols, and this tool displays whichever version your connection uses.
IP-based geolocation works by mapping IP address ranges to physical locations based on ISP registration data and network routing information. City-level accuracy is typically 50-80% reliable. Country-level accuracy exceeds 95%. However, geolocation cannot determine your exact street address from an IP alone. Mobile networks and cloud providers may show server locations rather than end-user locations.
Developers use IP lookup tools to verify that CDN routing is correct, test geolocation-based content delivery, debug CORS and firewall rules, confirm VPN tunnel endpoints, and check whether rate limiting is applied correctly. API developers frequently need to verify that their server sees the expected client IP, especially when requests pass through load balancers or reverse proxies that may modify the X-Forwarded-For header.

A VPN hides your IP address and encrypts your traffic. Browse privately on any network.
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique numerical label assigned to every device connected to a network. IPv4 addresses use four groups of numbers (e.g., 192.168.1.1), while IPv6 addresses use eight groups of hexadecimal digits. Your public IP address identifies your connection to the wider internet.
No. This tool fetches your IP information from a public API and displays it entirely in your browser. We do not log, store, or transmit your IP data to our servers. The lookup is performed client-side using a free geolocation API.
IP geolocation provides approximate location based on your ISP's address allocation. It typically identifies the city or region but not your exact street address. VPNs and proxy servers will show the location of the VPN/proxy server instead of your physical location.
Your public IP is the address the internet sees — assigned by your ISP. Your private IP (like 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x) is used within your local network. This tool shows your public IP since private IPs are not routable on the internet.
Most residential ISPs assign dynamic IP addresses that can change periodically (usually when your router reconnects). Business connections often have static IPs. Using a VPN or proxy will also change your apparent IP address.
