IP address

Where your address points and who runs it — country, city, ISP, ASN and time zone. Look up any IPv4 or IPv6 address too. The lookup goes through our own server, so your address is never handed to a third party by your browser.

Roughly here

This address has no coordinates to plot.

City level at best. The point is where the network operator registered the address block, which is regularly a different city and occasionally a different region — it is not a street address, and it is not where you are sitting.

What an IP address does and does not give away

What it does reveal

Your rough area and, reliably, who your provider is. Every site you visit sees it — it is how the reply reaches you. Combined with the values on our device info page it becomes a fingerprint that is rarely shared by two people.

What it does not

Your name, your address, your device and what you do online. An IP identifies a network connection, not a person. Only your provider can link it to an account, and in most countries that takes a legal request.

Why there is no VPN check here

Honest proxy, VPN and Tor detection needs a commercial database that every provider charges for. We do not have one, so this page does not claim to know. A tool that prints “not a proxy” without checking is worse than one that stays quiet — this page used to do exactly that, and the verdict was hardcoded.

Frequently asked questions

The city is wrong. Why?

Because IP geolocation is an inference, not a measurement. A database maps blocks of addresses to the place where the network operator registered them, which for a mobile network is often the operator's headquarters and for a home connection is often the nearest regional exchange. Country is usually right; city is a good guess; the coordinates are the centre of that guess, not your location.

Can someone find me from my IP address?

Not on their own. They get your provider and a rough area — the same thing this page shows. Linking an address to a subscriber requires records only the provider holds, and in most countries a legal request to get them. What an IP is genuinely useful for is spotting that a login came from an unexpected country.

Does this show whether I am on a VPN?

No, and it will not pretend to. VPN and proxy detection needs a commercial database of known exit nodes; every provider that offers it charges for it. What you can do here yourself: look up your address with the VPN off, then with it on. If the provider and the country change, the VPN is carrying your traffic.

Why does my address look like 2001:4860:4860::8888?

That is IPv6. The 32-bit IPv4 space ran out, so networks moved to 128-bit addresses written as hexadecimal groups, with :: standing in for a run of zeros. Both forms work here. Geolocation for IPv6 is often less precise, because the blocks are newer and the databases have had less time to learn them.

Why does my IP address keep changing?

Most home and mobile connections get a dynamic address: the provider lends you one from a pool and takes it back when your router reconnects. A fixed address is usually a paid business option. On mobile you may also share one public address with thousands of other subscribers through carrier-grade NAT, which is why two phones on the same network can look identical from the outside.
