IP Location Checker
Use this free IP Location Checker to find the approximate geographic location associated with an IP address. The tool can display country, region, city, ISP or organization, ASN, timezone and approximate coordinates when the IP geolocation service provides them.
IP geolocation is useful for understanding the general geographic area associated with an internet connection, troubleshooting network issues and checking IP information.
What Is IP Geolocation?
IP geolocation is the process of estimating the geographic location associated with an internet IP address. IP databases use network and registration information to estimate where an IP address is being used.
What Information Can This Tool Show?
- IP address
- IP version
- Country
- Region or state
- Approximate city
- ISP or organization
- ASN
- Timezone
- Approximate latitude
- Approximate longitude
- Approximate map location
Is IP Location Exact?
No. IP-based geolocation is approximate. An IP address generally cannot reliably identify an exact house, apartment or physical device location. Results can represent an ISP network location, data center, business location or another nearby geographic area.
Why Can IP Location Be Incorrect?
- VPN usage
- Proxy servers
- Mobile networks
- Carrier-grade NAT
- ISP routing
- Corporate networks
- Data center IP addresses
- Outdated geolocation databases
IPv4 and IPv6 Location
Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses can be associated with geolocation information. However, the amount and accuracy of available information depends on the IP database and network.
IP Location and VPNs
If you are connected through a VPN, the tool may show the approximate location of the VPN server or its network rather than your actual physical location.
Is IP Location Checker Safe?
This tool uses an IP geolocation service to look up network information. It should not be interpreted as an exact physical-location service.
Is This IP Location Checker Free?
Yes. The tool is free to use online. Availability of individual geolocation fields depends on the IP lookup service.
