Automatically detect your public IP address and view detailed geolocation data including country, region, city, ISP, timezone, and coordinates. Supports IPv4/IPv6 identification, manual IP lookup, and clipboard copy.
Detecting your IP address...
When the page loads, your current public IP address is automatically detected and displayed on the blue card. A type badge indicates whether it is IPv4 (e.g. 203.0.113.5) or IPv6 (e.g. 2001:db8::1). If you are using a VPN, the VPN server's IP address will be shown instead of your real IP.
Below the IP card, detailed geolocation data is automatically displayed: country, region, city, ISP, timezone, latitude/longitude, organization, and postal code. This data comes from an IP geolocation database and may differ from your exact physical location by a few to tens of kilometers.
Click the 'Copy IP' button on the card to copy the IP address to your clipboard instantly. A 'Copied' badge appears for 2 seconds to confirm success. You can then paste the IP into server configs, firewall rules, or network documentation.
Enter any IPv4 or IPv6 address in the input field and click 'Look Up' to view its geolocation. Try well-known IPs like Google DNS (8.8.8.8) or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) to verify server locations. Results are cached so repeat lookups for the same IP are instant.
If you switch VPN servers or change networks, click 'Refresh' to re-detect your current IP. Corporate networks typically show a fixed company IP, while home internet connections display the dynamic IP assigned by your ISP.
After enabling your VPN, use this tool to confirm that the displayed IP and country match your selected VPN server location. This ensures your VPN is routing traffic correctly before accessing geo-restricted content or sensitive services.
Look up your web or database server's public IP to add it to firewall allowlists or API access control lists. Accurately identifying server IPs prevents misconfigured rules that could cause service outages or security gaps.
When internet speeds are slow or certain sites are unreachable, check your current IP's ISP and timezone. If an unexpected ISP appears, traffic may be routing through an unintended path — a common first diagnostic step for network issues.
Look up suspicious IP addresses from server access logs to determine the approximate origin of potential attackers. If abnormal access patterns are detected from specific IPs, block them or escalate to your security team with geolocation context.
Most home internet plans use dynamic IPs (DHCP). ISPs reassign addresses when your router restarts or after a lease period expires, conserving the limited IPv4 address pool. Static (fixed) IPs are available on business plans but typically cost extra. VPN connections also change your visible IP to the VPN server's address.
No. IP geolocation provides country and approximate city-level data only, not GPS-precision coordinates. Accuracy is typically within tens of kilometers and often points to the ISP's regional data center rather than your home. Pinpointing someone's exact location from an IP requires a court order and cooperation from the ISP.
IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses (e.g. 192.168.0.1), supporting about 4.3 billion unique addresses — a pool that has been exhausted. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses (e.g. 2001:db8::1), providing a virtually unlimited supply. The internet is gradually transitioning to IPv6, and many ISPs now run dual-stack networks supporting both protocols simultaneously.
From websites and services, yes — they see the VPN server's IP. However, the VPN provider itself knows your real IP and may retain logs depending on its privacy policy. Technical issues like DNS leaks or WebRTC leaks can also expose your real IP. VPNs significantly improve privacy but do not guarantee complete anonymity.
On a corporate network, all employees' traffic exits through the company's shared public IP (or a pool of IPs). The displayed location may point to the company's data center or headquarters. If you connect to a company VPN while working remotely, that VPN server's IP will be shown instead of your home IP.
IP geolocation databases are not perfect. Country-level accuracy is above 95%, but city-level accuracy drops to 60–80%. Common causes of incorrect locations include ISP registration errors, CDN or proxy IP reuse, IP block reassignments, and satellite or mobile connections. Using a VPN or proxy always displays the server's location instead of yours.
This tool uses public APIs (ipify.org and ipapi.co) to fetch your IP and geolocation data. Your IP address is publicly visible whenever you connect to the internet. This tool does not store, log, or analyze your IP data beyond displaying it in the browser. The APIs' own terms of service apply to the requests made to their servers.
