IP Geolocation
Look up the approximate location, ISP and network behind any IP address — yours by default, or one you paste in.

How IP geolocation works
Every public IP address is allocated to an internet provider, and that provider registers blocks of addresses to broad geographic regions. Geolocation databases combine these registrations with routing data and network probes to estimate where an address is being used. Paste an address — or use your own — and we return the country, region, city, rough latitude and longitude, the ISP and the network it belongs to, plus a one-tap link to see the point on a map.
It's important to understand what this is: an educated estimate based on where the address is administered, not a satellite fix. That's exactly why it's useful for spotting VPNs, verifying that traffic is routed where you expect, and understanding why a streaming service thinks you're in another city.
How to read the result
- Country & region are the most reliable fields — trust these first.
- City & coordinates are approximate. A pin a few kilometres off, or in a nearby city, is normal and not a sign of a leak.
- ISP & organization tell you whose network is carrying the traffic. A hosting or VPN provider here means the address belongs to a proxy, not a home line.
- Using a VPN? If the location matches your VPN's exit city, it's working. If your real city shows through, something is leaking — run our leak tests next.
Frequently asked questions
How accurate is IP geolocation?
Country-level accuracy is very high — typically over 95%. City-level is far rougher because it's derived from where your ISP registers the address, not GPS. Expect the right region or a nearby city, not your exact street.
Why does my location look wrong?
A few common reasons: a VPN or proxy is routing you through another city or country, your ISP registers its addresses in a regional hub, or you're on a mobile network whose gateway sits elsewhere. None of these mean something is broken.
Can I look up someone else's IP?
Yes — paste any public IP address into the box and we'll return the same provider and approximate-location data. It only works for routable public addresses, not private ones like 192.168.x.x.
Does this use my device's GPS?
No. This tool never asks for browser location permission. Everything comes from the public registry behind the IP address, so it's an approximation by design.
Location off? Let's diagnose the whole connection.
Geolocation is one clue. A full check-up measures speed, latency and stability and flags VPN or DNS leaks — then tells you what to do about each one.
