Free IP address lookup — enter any IP and see its approximate location, instantly.
Every other tool on this site runs entirely as JavaScript in your browser and never contacts a server at all. This one is a deliberate exception, by necessity: the IP address you type in is sent to this site’s server so it can be looked up — that’s unavoidable for this specific tool — but the lookup itself runs against a database bundled directly into the server, with no third-party service ever contacted. Nothing about the request is logged, stored, written to a cookie, or shared with any third party — it's handled and discarded the moment the response is sent back to you.
This describes only what this specific tool does with what you type into it. It doesn't cover the rest of this site — see the Privacy Policy for how analytics and advertising cookies are handled elsewhere.
This looks up the approximate location of any IPv4 or IPv6 address you enter — useful for checking where a suspicious login, an email header's originating IP, or a server you're troubleshooting is roughly located, without needing a separate command-line tool.
Like the What Is My IP tool, this uses a database bundled directly into this site's own server — no third-party geolocation API is contacted, and the IP address you enter isn't logged or stored anywhere beyond the moment it takes to answer your request.
The same accuracy limits apply as with any IP geolocation: it's approximate (typically city or region level, sometimes only country), reflects where the address is registered rather than a literal GPS position, and IPv6 addresses currently only resolve to a country in this tool's database, not a city or region.
What Is My IP shows your own address automatically. This tool looks up any address you type in — someone else’s, a server’s, or one you found in an email header or log file.
City-level at best, often only region or country, and it reflects where the IP address is registered rather than a literal position — not GPS-precise. This is the same accuracy limit every IP geolocation source has, not something specific to this tool.
No — it’s looked up against a database bundled directly into this site’s own server and the response is sent back immediately. Nothing is logged, stored, or shared with any third party.
You can enter one, but it won’t return a location — private/local IP ranges aren’t part of the public geolocation database, since they’re only meaningful within someone’s own local network.
