IP Lookup - Find Your IP Address and Geolocation Information
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique identifier assigned to every device connected to the internet. IP lookup reveals the geolocation, ISP, and organization associated with an IP address.
IPv4 vs IPv6
- IPv4 - 32-bit address, e.g.,
8.8.8.8. About 4.3 billion addresses (most exhausted) - IPv6 - 128-bit address, e.g.,
2001:4860:4860::8888. Essentially unlimited addresses
What IP Lookup Reveals
- Country and city (geolocation, not always precise)
- ISP / Organization that owns the IP range
- ASN (Autonomous System Number)
- Hostname (if reverse DNS is configured)
- Proxy/VPN detection (some services flag known VPN IPs)
Privacy Note
IP geolocation is approximate - it can usually identify country and city, but not your exact address. Using a VPN masks your real IP and location from websites you visit.
