An IP address lookup is a service that maps a public IP address (like 8.8.8.8) to real-world information: the city and country where the device is registered, the ISP operating that address, the timezone, and sometimes the approximate latitude and longitude. It works by querying public IP geolocation databases that track IP ownership and geographic allocation.
The tool accepts an IPv4 address (192.168.1.1 format) or IPv6 address (longer hexadecimal format) and queries geolocation databases maintained by regional internet registries. These databases map IP ranges to geographical regions, ISPs, and network operators. The lookup returns latitude/longitude coordinates (usually accurate to within a city block or broader area), the registered country and city, the ISP name, the autonomous system number (ASN), and reverse DNS hostname if available.
| Input | Result | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 8.8.8.8 | Mountain View, California, USA | Google LLC | ISP: Google | Google's public DNS server reveals the company's headquarters region |
| 1.1.1.1 | Los Angeles, California, USA | Cloudflare Inc | ISP: Cloudflare | Cloudflare's DNS service shows their US operations center |
| 77.88.8.8 | Moscow, Russia | JSC Rostelecom | ISP: Rostelecom | Russian IP address reveals Eastern European ISP and timezone (UTC+3) |
No. IP geolocation typically pinpoints a city or region, accurate within 5–50 km depending on the database and IP type. Residential IPs are often less precise than data centers. VPNs and proxies make accuracy worse.
No. Private IP addresses (192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, 172.16–31.x.x) are not routable on the internet and have no geolocation data. Lookup tools only work with public IP addresses.
IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses (4 dotted numbers like 8.8.8.8), while IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses (hex format like 2001:4860:4860::8888). IPv6 was created to handle the billions of devices now online. Both can be looked up the same way.
Your ISP or VPN provider may have servers or registered address blocks in a different city than you. Also, geolocation databases update slowly and sometimes use the ISP's headquarters rather than the actual server location.
Yes. Public IP lookups are legal and safe—you're only querying publicly available information. There's no hacking involved, no private data is exposed, and anyone's public IP can be discovered by simply visiting your website.
Most basic tools do single lookups, but some services offer bulk IP lookup via CSV upload or API. For a few addresses, running them one at a time is quick enough.
