IP Lookup Tool

An IP lookup is a query to a geolocation database that returns information about an IP address or domain name, including the approximate geographic location, ISP, ASN, and other network details associated with that address.

Yes. You can enter any domain name (such as <code>example.com</code>) and the tool will look up the IP address the domain resolves to and return the associated geolocation and network information.

No. IP geolocation provides an approximate location based on the registered address of the ISP or network provider. It typically shows the general area (city or region) where the ISP is registered, not the exact physical location of the device.

IP geolocation accuracy varies by region and ISP. In many cases, it can identify the correct city with reasonable accuracy. However, mobile IPs, VPNs, and proxy connections may show locations far from the actual device location.

Yes. The tool supports full IPv6 address lookup, including shorthand formats such as <code>::1</code> and IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses. Both IPv4 and IPv6 queries return the same structured information.

Yes. The IP Lookup tool is completely free to use. There is no registration, no login, and no usage limits enforced by this tool. The upstream geolocation service has rate limits that may apply to very high-frequency usage.

Private IP addresses such as <code>10.x.x.x</code>, <code>192.168.x.x</code>, and <code>172.16-31.x.x</code> are not supported because they are reserved for internal networks and cannot be geolocated. Only public IP addresses can be looked up.

An Autonomous System Number (ASN) is a unique identifier assigned to a network operator or organization that controls a block of IP addresses. ASNs are used in BGP routing to exchange routing information between networks. The ASN information includes both the number and the organization name.

An Internet Service Provider (ISP) is an organization that provides internet access to customers. The ISP field shows the name of the provider that owns or operates the IP address range. This can help identify whether an IP belongs to a residential ISP, business provider, or hosting company.

A proxy is an intermediary server that forwards requests on behalf of a client. The tool detects whether an IP address is associated with a proxy, VPN, or Tor exit node. Proxy detection is useful for identifying traffic that may be masking its true origin.

Reverse DNS (PTR record) maps an IP address back to a domain name. While forward DNS maps a domain to an IP, reverse DNS does the opposite. Not all IP addresses have reverse DNS entries configured. The tool displays the PTR record if one exists.

No. IP lookups are sent to the backend API which queries the geolocation service. No search data is stored, logged, or persisted. Your queries remain private and are not saved.

The Hosting flag indicates whether the IP address belongs to a hosting provider or data center. IPs from cloud providers (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure), web hosts, and dedicated server providers are flagged as hosting.

The Mobile flag indicates whether the IP address is assigned to a mobile carrier network. Mobile IPs often change frequently as devices move between cell towers, making geolocation less precise.

The tool returns the following fields when available: query, status, country, countryCode, region, regionName, city, zip, lat, lon, timezone, isp, org, as, reverse, hosting, mobile, and proxy.

Most lookups complete within a few hundred milliseconds. The tool has an 8-second timeout for upstream requests. If the geolocation service does not respond within this window, the lookup is cancelled and a timeout error is displayed.
