IP Address Location Lookup
Free IP location lookup. Find the exact location of any IP address on an interactive map — city, country, ISP, coordinates, and timezone. Works for your IP or any IP.
What is an IP location lookup?
IP geolocation is the process of determining the real-world geographic location of an IP address. Every public IP address is assigned to a specific organization (ISP, company, or cloud provider) in a specific region. By cross-referencing IP allocation databases, geolocation services can pinpoint an IP address to a city, region, and country with reasonable accuracy.
How accurate is IP address location?
IP geolocation is typically accurate to the country level (99%+ accuracy) and city level (50-80% accuracy). It is not precise enough to identify a street address. The location shown is usually the location of your ISP's nearest point of presence, not your exact physical location. If you use a VPN, the location shown will be the VPN server's location, not yours.

What is an ASN and how does it relate to IP location?
An ASN (Autonomous System Number) identifies a network or group of networks under a single organization's control, typically an ISP, university, or large company. When you look up an IP location, the ASN tells you which organization owns that IP block — for example, AS15169 is Google, AS16509 is Amazon AWS, and AS13335 is Cloudflare.
ASN information is useful for identifying cloud provider IP ranges, detecting data center vs residential IPs, and understanding the routing path of network traffic. Developers use ASN data to block or allow entire cloud provider IP ranges in firewall rules.
How to detect a visitor's country from their IP address
IP geolocation databases map IP address ranges to geographic locations based on registration data from regional internet registries (ARIN, RIPE, APNIC) and network routing data. Accuracy is highest at the country level (95%+) and decreases at city level (50-70% depending on the database).
For developers building geo-restriction or content localization features, IP geolocation provides a best-effort approximation. Always provide a fallback for users whose location cannot be accurately determined, and never rely solely on IP geolocation for security-critical decisions.
