About IP Address Lookup
What is an IP Address?
- • Internet Protocol address
- • Unique identifier for devices on networks
- • IPv4: 32-bit addresses (e.g., 192.168.1.1)
- • IPv6: 128-bit addresses (newer standard)
- • Used for routing internet traffic
IP Geolocation Uses:
- • Content personalization by location
- • Fraud detection and prevention
- • Network troubleshooting
- • Compliance with regional laws
- • Analytics and user insights
Privacy Note: IP geolocation provides approximate location data based on ISP information. Actual user location may vary, especially for mobile users or those using VPN services.
Understanding IP Addresses
Learn about IP addresses and their role in internet communication
What is an IP?
Internet Protocol address - a unique numerical identifier assigned to every device connected to the internet for communication and data routing.
Geolocation
IP geolocation maps IP addresses to physical locations using ISP data, providing approximate geographic coordinates and regional information.
Security Analysis
Identify potential security threats by checking if an IP is associated with VPNs, proxies, TOR networks, or known malicious activities.
Network Info
Get detailed network information including ISP, organization, ASN, hostname, and other technical details about the IP address.
IP Address Types
Understanding different types of IP addresses
IPv4 Addresses
32-bit addresses (4.3 billion possible)
192.168.1.1 Most common IP version currently in use. Running out of available addresses due to internet growth.
IPv6 Addresses
128-bit addresses (virtually unlimited)
2001:db8::1 Next generation IP protocol designed to replace IPv4 with vastly more available addresses.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about IP address lookup
What is an IP address and why do I need to find it?
An IP address is a unique identifier assigned to devices connected to the internet. Finding IP addresses helps with network troubleshooting, security analysis, geolocation services, and understanding network traffic sources.
How accurate is IP geolocation?
IP geolocation accuracy varies by location and ISP. City-level accuracy is typically 55-80%, while country-level accuracy is over 95%. Mobile IPs and VPN services may show less accurate locations.
Can I find someone's exact address using their IP?
No, IP geolocation only provides approximate location data based on ISP information. It cannot reveal exact addresses or personal information. Only ISPs and law enforcement with proper authorization can access detailed location data.
What's the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses (like 192.168.1.1) and supports about 4.3 billion unique addresses. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses (like 2001:db8::1) and supports virtually unlimited addresses, designed to replace IPv4.
How does IP threat detection work?
Our tool checks IP addresses against databases of known threats, including TOR exit nodes, proxy servers, VPNs, and IPs associated with malicious activities. This helps identify potentially risky connections.
