IP & Geolocation Lookup Guide
Show your public IP (or any address) with its country, city, coordinates and ISP.
An IP address can point to an ISP and an approximate location, but not necessarily the device’s physical position. IP Lookup shows those provider-reported details for your public address or another address you specify. This is one of the few tools on this site that talks to the internet: it uses free, key-less services and falls back to a second one if the first is unavailable.
Look up an address
Leave IP address empty and click Look up to geolocate the connection you are using. The result shows the address, its Location, Coordinates, Timezone and ISP, and the Source line names which provider answered. You can also type an address such as 8.8.8.8 and click Look up; that one should resolve to a Google DNS range in the United States. Copy as JSON copies the raw fields for pasting into a ticket.
This is one of the few tools here that leaves your browser: the address goes to ipwho.is first, with freeipapi.com as a fallback. A private address such as 192.168.1.10 or 10.0.0.5 belongs to your own network and has no public geolocation, so the services will not place it. Results come from the address your ISP registered, so they can land on a nearby city rather than your exact position.
Where your input goes
Some actions send a request to ipwho.is or freeipapi.com. Check what you are sending before using real data.

Questions you might have
- Why does it show a different city than where I am?
- Geolocation is based on the address your ISP has registered, not on your physical position, so it usually lands on the nearest city where the provider has infrastructure.
- Which services does it use?
- ipwho.is first, then freeipapi.com. Both are free and need no API key, and the tool tells you which one answered.
- Does this site store my address?
- No. The request goes from your browser straight to the provider and the result is rendered here. Nothing is logged by this site.
