IP Lookup tool
The IP Address Lookup tool allows you to retrieve publicly available information associated with an IP address, such as geographic location, network provider, and routing details. This tool is useful for IT administrators, security analysts, developers, and support teams who need to quickly identify the source of network traffic, troubleshoot connectivity issues, or analyze access logs. The lookup works for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and displays data provided by public IP databases and registries.
What This Tool Can provide.
- Country and region associated with an IP address
- Internet Service Provider (ISP) or organization
- IP version (IPv4 or IPv6)
- Approximate geographic location
- Autonomous System Number (ASN), if available

How IP Geolocation Works
IP lookup tools rely on publicly available IP address allocation data maintained by regional internet registries and geolocation databases. When an IP address is queried, the tool maps it to:
- An assigned network block
- An organization or ISP
- An approximate geographic region
The location shown represents the registered location of the network, not the physical location of an individual device.
IPv4 vs IPv6 Lookups
Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses can be looked up using the same principles:
- IPv4 addresses are shorter and still widely used
- IPv6 addresses are longer, hexadecimal, and increasingly common in modern networks
This tool automatically detects the IP version and adjusts the lookup accordingly.
Use Cases:
This IP lookup tool is commonly used for:
- Investigating suspicious login attempts
- Analyzing website access logs
- Identifying the origin of network traffic
- Verifying ISP or ASN ownership
- General network troubleshooting
How Accurate Is IP Location Data?
IP geolocation data is approximate, not exact. Accuracy can vary based on:
- ISP routing policies
- Use of VPNs or proxies
- Mobile and carrier-grade NAT networks
- Cloud-hosted infrastructure
This tool does not identify individuals or precise street addresses.
