IP geolocation is approximate. It usually identifies the network or nearby city, not a home, precise device position or street address.

Understand your public IP address

What is a public IP address?

A public IP address identifies your internet connection when it communicates with websites and online services. It is usually assigned by your ISP, mobile carrier, workplace or VPN provider.

IPv4 and IPv6

IPv4 uses shorter dotted addresses, while IPv6 provides a vastly larger address space. A modern connection may support both protocols at the same time, which is known as dual stack.

Why can my IP address change?

Many providers assign dynamic addresses. Reconnecting, changing Wi-Fi, using mobile data, switching networks or enabling a VPN can change the public IP that websites see.

What can an IP address reveal?

An IP address can usually indicate the provider, network owner and an approximate region. It normally does not reveal an exact home address, a person's name or a device's precise location.

How IP address lookup works

An IP lookup matches a public IPv4 or IPv6 address with routing and registration data. It can identify the ISP, autonomous system, network organization and an approximate service area, but it is not GPS tracking.

ISP and ASN lookup

An autonomous system number, or ASN, identifies the network that announces an IP range to the internet. ISP and ASN details help distinguish residential, mobile, business, cloud and content-delivery networks.

Reverse DNS and hostnames

Reverse DNS asks whether the network owner has assigned a hostname to an IP address. A missing hostname is normal, and a hostname does not prove who operates the device using the address.

VPN, proxy and hosting signals

Network intelligence can indicate whether an address is associated with VPN, proxy, Tor, relay, hosting or other network services. These are address-level signals and must not be treated as proof about an individual user.

Frequently asked questions

What is my IP address right now?

Your available public IPv4 and IPv6 addresses appear at the top of this page and are detected directly through the browser connection you are currently using.

Is my public IP the same as my private IP?

No. A private address is used inside your home or workplace network, while the public address is presented to the internet by your router or provider.

Does a VPN hide my IP address?

A VPN usually replaces the address websites see with one operated by the VPN service. The VPN provider can still process your traffic, so choose a service you trust.

Why is my IP location wrong?

IP databases map network ranges rather than GPS coordinates. Routing, mobile networks, VPNs and recent range transfers can move the estimate to another city.

Can someone find my exact location from my IP?

An ordinary public lookup normally cannot identify an exact home or device. Only providers and authorized authorities may link an address to subscriber records at a particular time.

How do I look up an IP address?

Enter a public IPv4 or IPv6 address in the lookup field. The result shows available ISP, ASN, network owner, approximate location, reverse DNS and network intelligence data.

What is an ASN in an IP lookup?

An ASN is the unique number of an autonomous system that advertises routes on the internet. It identifies the network responsible for routing an IP range, which may differ from the consumer-facing ISP name.
