IP Address Lookup

Check your current public IP address, approximate location, ISP, and network information.

Your IP address is sent to the external provider IPWHOIS.IO for lookup. This site does not store the result. Provider privacy policy

Current public IP

Checking IP information…

Look up another IP

Enter one public IP. Private, localhost, URL, domain, and CIDR values are not queried.

Enter a public IP address to look it up.

What is a public IP?

It identifies an internet connection. Behind a router or carrier network, it may differ from a device's private IP.

Location limitations

IP location is an estimate based on network registration and routing. It is not a street address or a person's precise location.

VPNs and proxies

When using a VPN, proxy, corporate network, or mobile carrier, the result may show that network's exit location.

Privacy and external provider

Lookup requests go directly from your browser to IPWHOIS.IO. This site does not retain IPs or results on its server, in browser storage, or in lookup history.

What does the IP Address Lookup do?

It shows the current public IP address or looks up a valid public IPv4/IPv6 address, then presents network registration and approximate location data returned by IPWHOIS.IO.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Use the current address or enter one

    Load the detected public address, or type a public IPv4 or IPv6 address to inspect.

  2. 2

    Run the lookup

    The browser requests country, region, ISP, organization, ASN, and timezone data from the provider.

  3. 3

    Interpret cautiously

    Treat location as a network estimate, especially for mobile carriers, VPNs, proxies, and corporate networks.

Processing rules and limitations

  • Public addresses only

    Private, loopback, link-local, documentation, and other non-public address ranges are rejected.

  • Approximate location

    The result describes network routing and registration, not a person's street address or precise position.

  • Provider availability

    Results and rate limits depend on IPWHOIS.IO, so a lookup can fail even when the page itself is available.

Lookup requests use IPWHOIS.IO

The queried IP address is sent directly from your browser to IPWHOIS.IO. This site does not store the address or lookup result.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the city incorrect?

IP geolocation is an estimate based on the network and may identify an ISP gateway or regional exit point.

Why does a VPN change the result?

The lookup sees the VPN or proxy exit address rather than the connection behind it.

Can this reveal someone's home address?

No. Public IP data does not reliably identify a precise residence or individual.
