IP Lookup
Type an IP address and get the country, region, city, time zone and network provider linked to it.
The tool checks the format first, so a typo is caught before any lookup is made. It also tells you if the address is a private or reserved one that has no public location.
Please note: Lookups are made by asking ipwho.is from your browser. The address you type is sent to that service.
How it works
The address is checked in your browser. IPv4 needs four numbers from 0 to 255. IPv6 needs the long form with colons. Addresses such as 192.168.1.1 or 10.0.0.1 are private, which means they only work inside a home or office network. They have no public location, so no lookup is sent for them.
For a public address, the tool asks the ipwho.is service for details and shows what comes back. The data comes from IP registries and commercial maps, and it is approximate. The city is often the location of the provider, not of the person using the address.
Worked example: Looking up 8.8.8.8
This is a well-known public DNS address. The lookup shows the United States and the network operator Google. Try it to see how the result is laid out.
Frequently asked questions
Can I find a person from an IP address?
No. An IP address points to a network area and provider. It does not give a name or a home address.
Why does it say my address is private?
Private addresses such as 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x and 172.16–31.x.x are used inside local networks and are not visible on the internet.
How accurate is the location?
Country is usually right. City is often off, sometimes by a long way.
What is the ASN?
An autonomous system number identifies a large network, such as an internet provider or a cloud company.
Does it work with IPv6?
Yes. Paste the full address and the tool checks it the same way.
