Is the location shown accurate?

Geolocation data is approximate and based on your ISP registered address. It shows the city of your ISP nearest network node, which may differ from your actual city.

What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?

IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses in dot-decimal format like 192.168.1.1, supporting about 4.3 billion unique addresses. IPv6 uses 128-bit hexadecimal addresses supporting approximately 340 undecillion addresses.

Why does the tool show a different city than where I am?

IP geolocation maps IP ranges based on ISP registry data. ISPs often route traffic through data centres in major cities. A VPN also changes the apparent location.

ISP stands for Internet Service Provider — the company that provides your internet connection. Examples include PTCL, Jazz, Telenor, and Zong in Pakistan.

Can I look up private IP addresses like 192.168.x.x?

Private IP addresses are reserved for local network use and are not routable on the public internet. They will return no geolocation data.

ASN stands for Autonomous System Number, a unique identifier assigned to a network managed by a single organisation. It is visible in the Organisation field of the lookup result.

Does this tool work with VPN addresses?

Yes. When connected to a VPN, your visible IP address is the VPN server IP. This tool will show the VPN server location rather than yours.

What API powers this tool?

This tool uses ipapi.co which provides free IP geolocation for up to 1000 requests per day without registration.

Is my IP address stored anywhere?

The tool caches lookup results in your browser localStorage for 5 minutes. No data is stored on any server by this tool.

About IP Address Lookup

IP Address Lookup answers the common question what is my IP address the moment the page loads. Your public IPv4 or IPv6 address appears automatically along with your city, region, country, timezone, ISP, organisation, and approximate coordinates — no button press required. The tool queries the free ipapi.co API. Results are cached in localStorage for 5 minutes per IP address. The manual lookup input lets you query any other IPv4 or IPv6 address. The location is approximate and based on the ISP registered address, not your device GPS location. Your coordinates are displayed prominently with a clickable link to open the location in Google Maps.
