IP Address Lookup

IP Lookup — Find Location and ISP Info for Any IP Address

An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is the numerical label assigned to every device connected to the internet. This tool looks up any IP address and returns publicly available information about it: the approximate geographic location, the ISP or organisation that owns the IP block, the hostname if available, and whether the address is IPv4 or IPv6.

Your current IP address

When you load this page, the tool automatically detects and displays your current public IP address — the address that websites see when you connect to them. This is your ISP-assigned IP, not your device's local (private) network IP, which is typically something like 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x and is only visible within your local network.

What the lookup returns

Country and region: The country and often the state or city associated with the IP address. This comes from IP geolocation databases maintained by companies that track IP block allocations and supplement them with additional data.

ISP / organisation: The company or organisation that owns the IP address range. For residential connections in India, this is typically your ISP (Jio, Airtel, BSNL, ACT, etc.). For corporate connections, it might show the company name.

Timezone: The timezone associated with the IP's location.

ASN (Autonomous System Number): A routing identifier for the network block. Used mainly by network engineers and ISPs.

Common use cases

Verifying VPN connectivity: If you're using a VPN, check this tool to confirm that your displayed IP is the VPN server's IP, not your real ISP IP. Also check that the reported location matches the VPN server's location, not your actual location.

Server troubleshooting: If a service is being accessed from an unexpected IP or a server request is failing, look up the IP to understand which network it's coming from. Is it a legitimate user's ISP, a cloud provider, a CDN node, or a known bad actor?

Identifying visitor locations in web analytics: Website owners can cross-reference visitor IPs with geolocation data to understand where their traffic comes from. Manual lookup is useful for specific IPs that show unusual behavior in logs.

Email header analysis: Spam emails often route through multiple servers. Looking up the IP addresses in the "Received" headers of an email shows the routing path and can help identify the origin or flag suspicious relay servers.

Understanding region-locked content: If a service shows you content from a specific region (or blocks you based on your region), looking up your IP confirms what region the service thinks you're in.

Tips

For looking up multiple IPs, enter them one at a time. The tool doesn't support batch lookups.

If you want to look up a domain name instead of an IP, you'll need to resolve the domain to an IP first — use nslookup or a DNS lookup tool, then look up the resulting IP here.

Limitations

IP geolocation is approximate, not precise. The location shown is typically the city where your ISP's node is located, not your home address. For mobile connections (Jio, Airtel, Vi), the reported city may be the mobile tower's city or a regional gateway — which may not match your actual location at all.

The accuracy varies by country and ISP. In major Indian cities (Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore), accuracy is generally at the city level. In smaller cities and rural areas, the reported location may be a nearby major city or even a different state.

IP geolocation data goes stale as ISPs reassign IP blocks. The information is useful for a general understanding of an IP's origin but should not be relied upon for legal or investigative purposes.
