IP & Geo

IP Geolocation

Free IP geolocation lookup. For any IPv4 or IPv6 address, returns country, region, city, postal code, coordinates, timezone, ASN, organisation, ISP, and anycast flag. Powered by ipinfo.io: server-friendly, regularly refreshed. Useful for log analysis, fraud investigation, and identifying where traffic actually comes from.

What IP geolocation shows

For any IPv4 or IPv6 address, this tool returns the country, region, city, postal code, approximate coordinates, and timezone, along with the network detail that often matters more: the ASN, the organisation that owns the block, the ISP, and whether the address is anycast. It is built for log analysis, fraud investigation, and simply working out where a connection actually originates, rather than trusting a hostname at face value.

How accurate it really is

Geolocation is an estimate, not a GPS fix. It works by mapping the IP to the network that announces it and to registration and latency data, so country accuracy is usually very high while city-level results can be off by a region, especially for mobile carriers that route large areas through one gateway. VPNs, proxies, and corporate egress points deliberately place you somewhere other than your physical location, and an anycast address (like a public DNS resolver) has no single location at all. Treat the ASN and organisation as the most dependable fields.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is IP geolocation?

Country-level accuracy is typically very high, while city-level results can be off by a region, particularly for mobile networks. It is an estimate based on network registration and routing data, not a precise physical position.

Can IP geolocation find my exact address?

No. It resolves to a city or region and the network that owns the address, not a street address. The coordinates it returns are an approximate centre point, not your actual location.

What is an ASN and why does it matter?

An ASN (Autonomous System Number) identifies the network that owns and announces a block of IP addresses. It is one of the most reliable geolocation fields because it tells you which ISP or hosting provider the address belongs to.

Why does a VPN change my geolocation?

A VPN routes your traffic through a server elsewhere, so services see that server's IP address instead of yours. Geolocation then reports the VPN server's location rather than your own.
