Locate an IP address: Find the location of an IP or domain
Use this IP Location Lookup to locate an IP address or domain. See its country, region, city and coordinates, plus its provider (ISP), ASN, network and reverse DNS. The country is usually reliable; the region and city are estimates. IP geolocation cannot identify a street address or person.

How to read the result
Country, region, city
Based on the geodatabase. The country is usually reliable; the region and city are estimates.
Coordinates
Center of the estimated area—not the address of a connection or device.
ISP / Organization and ASN
The operator and identifier of the network that announces this IP on the internet.
Network
The address range (CIDR) the IP belongs to—useful for firewall rules and abuse reports.
Reverse DNS
The IP's PTR record. It often reveals the operator, but is usually absent for home connections.

How it works
Locate an IP address: How to find its location
From an IP address or domain to an approximate location, with no account or installation required.
Step 1
Enter an IP address or domain
Enter an IPv4 or IPv6 address or a domain, such as 8.8.8.8 or example.com. You can also paste a URL: the tool removes the protocol, path and port automatically. Alternatively, click “Use my own IP”.
Step 2
Find location
Click “Find location”. The tool resolves domains first, then checks each public address against the geolocation database on our servers.
Step 3
View location
You'll see the country with its flag, region, city, continent and coordinates. “View on map” opens the coordinates on OpenStreetMap.
Step 4
Check network data
Below that, you'll find the ISP / organization, ASN, announced network (CIDR) and reverse DNS record. For domains, each resolved address gets its own card.
Step 5
Share lookup
After a successful lookup, your query appears as a parameter (?q=…) in the address bar. Copy the link to share the lookup or run it again later.
Accuracy
What IP geolocation does and doesn't show
An IP address belongs to a provider, not a home. That's why the country is usually reliable, while the region and city are estimates, often pointing to a network access point. With mobile networks, VPNs, proxies and data centers, the displayed location can be far off.
What the results show you
- Country with flag and an EU indicator for EU countries
- Estimated region, city and continent
- Coordinates for the center of the estimated area, with a map link
- Provider or organization, ASN and announced network (CIDR)
- Reverse DNS record (PTR), if available
What an IP address doesn't reveal
- No street, house number or precise location
- No name or account holder details
- Not which device is behind the IP address
- No location for private addresses such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x
Why this tool
Benefits at a glance
How this IP Location Lookup differs from “What Is My IP?”
IP address or domain
Enter an IP or domain, or paste a URL. We resolve domains and show up to six public addresses, each with its own location.
Country, region, and city
You'll see the country (with flag), region, city, continent and coordinates, with a link to the map on OpenStreetMap.
ISP, ASN, and network
Which network is behind it? We show the provider or organization, Autonomous System (ASN), announced network and reverse DNS record.
Our own geolocation database instead of a third-party service
The location comes from a database on our servers. Your input is not sent to any third party.
IPv4 and IPv6
Works with both standard IPv4 addresses and IPv6, even if a domain provides both.
Regularly updated
The geolocation data is updated regularly. Each result shows the month its data is from.
Use cases
Why you might need an IP location
Common reasons to locate an IP address or domain, for admins, gamers and the curious.
Check a VPN or proxy
With your VPN active, click “Use my own IP”: The result shows where you appear to be on the internet right now. If it shows the VPN server's location, the VPN is working.
Find a website's server and CDN
Enter a domain to see which country and network its servers are in. For a CDN, this is the node's location, not the operator's headquarters.
Abuse reports and firewall rules
The ASN, provider and announced network (CIDR) show which operator to send an abuse report to and which address range a firewall rule would need to cover.
Assess a game server's location
Check which country a game server is in: The closer it is to your players, the lower their ping usually is. For player IPs, the provider helps you assess whether an address belongs to a data center. The tool does not automatically detect VPNs.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about IP geolocation
Quick answers about IP geolocation, accuracy, ASN, and privacy.
Enter an IPv4 or IPv6 address or a domain above and click “Find location”. You'll get the country, region, city, continent and coordinates with a map link, plus the provider (ISP), ASN, network and reverse DNS. “Use my own IP” shows where you appear to be on the internet right now. The tool is free and needs no account; if you make a lot of queries in a short time, you'll need to wait briefly.
It's usually reliable at the country level but only an estimate at the city level. An IP address belongs to a provider, not a home: The city often points to an access point or the provider's region, not your street. With mobile networks, corporate networks, data centers, VPNs and proxies, the location can differ significantly.
No. IP geolocation shows only the provider's approximate region, not a street address or name. Only the provider knows who holds the connection for an IP address, and they generally release that information only in response to an official request.
Under “ISP / Organization”, the result names the network operator, not the person currently using the address. The ASN (Autonomous System Number) identifies this network operator in global routing, e.g. AS15169 for Google. The network is the address range (CIDR) under which the operator announces the IP. You can find registration data for domains and address blocks with our WHOIS Lookup.
Common causes include a VPN or proxy (you appear at the server's location), a mobile network (the IP belongs to the network operator's access point) and providers moving address blocks between regions. Geolocation databases can lag behind these changes; each result shows the month its data is from.
Large websites use multiple servers or a CDN to serve visitors from nearby locations. A domain can therefore have multiple A and AAAA records. The tool resolves the domain and shows up to six public addresses, IPv4 first, each with its own location. This is the server or CDN node's location, not necessarily the operator's.
IPv4 and IPv6 both work; IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses (::ffff:…) are treated as IPv4. Private and reserved addresses such as 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x or 127.0.0.1 are not routed on the public internet and have no public location, so the tool rejects them with an explanation.
The location data comes from the DB-IP geolocation database (CC BY 4.0 license), which is hosted on our servers and updated regularly. Your input is not sent to a third party for geolocation. DNS queries are made only for domains and reverse DNS records, as with any name resolution.
