IP lookup

Look up where any IP address is, who owns it, and whether it suits your use case.

IP lookup shows where any public IPv4 or IPv6 address is, which network (ASN) owns it, its reverse DNS, and a 0–100 quality score with datacenter, VPN, Tor and native IP checks. Location comes from DB-IP Lite, refreshed monthly: the country is reliable, the city approximate. It is free, and lookups are not saved.

Location data: IP Geolocation by DB-IP (CC BY 4.0). Locations are approximate.

Lookups are not saved. The address is part of the page URL, so it can appear in short-lived request logs like any URL. An hourly counter tied to a one-way hash of your own IP limits abuse.

How it works

What an IP lookup tells you

Where the location comes from

IP addresses are handed out in blocks, and geolocation databases record where each block is used. This tool reads the free DB-IP Lite database, refreshed monthly. The country is right for the vast majority of addresses; the city is an estimate. Mobile networks, VPNs and large corporate networks often appear at the operator's hub rather than where the user sits, so treat the city as a hint, not an address.

ASN and network owner

Every public IP is announced to the internet by an autonomous system, a network with its own number (ASN). The ASN and its organisation tell you who runs the network: a home broadband provider, a mobile carrier, a cloud platform or a hosting company. Sites use the same information to decide how much to trust a connection.

Datacenter or ISP network

We compare the address with a public list of hosting and cloud ranges, the same check as our IP quality check. A datacenter result means the address belongs to a hosting company. "ISP network" means it does not; it covers home broadband, mobile and Static ISP addresses alike, because they share the same providers' networks, so no lookup can prove an address is residential.

The IP quality score

Every lookup also scores the address from 0 to 100. It starts at 100 and loses points only for something found. 85 and above is Clean, 70–84 Good, 50–69 Fair and below 50 Risky. A signal that could not be checked costs nothing, and the breakdown lists every deduction.

Score deductions
Signal foundPoints
Tor exit node−40
Datacenter network−35
VPN provider range−20
Broadcast IP−10

A native IP is located in the country its block is registered to at one of the five regional internet registries; a broadcast IP is registered in one country and used in another. The use-case ratings follow the same signals: a datacenter IP alone makes social, store and ad accounts Not recommended, while web data collection tolerates datacenter and broadcast IPs.

Reverse DNS

Reverse DNS (a PTR record) is the host name the network's owner set for the address. Hosting providers often use names like server-24.example.net; consumer ISPs often put the line type or region in it. Many addresses have none, which is normal.

FAQ

Questions about IP lookup

How accurate is the location?

Country-level results are reliable for most addresses. Region and city come from a free database and are approximate: expect the right metro area for home broadband, and the operator's hub for mobile networks and VPNs.

Can I look up 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x?

No. Private and reserved ranges are used inside home and office networks, and the same address exists in millions of them. They are not on the public internet, so no database can say where one is.

Does this tell me whether an IP is residential?

No. It tells a datacenter range from an ISP network. Home connections and Static ISP proxies are both on ISP networks and look the same from outside.

How is this different from the IP quality check?

The IP lookup checks any address you type, and its links can be shared. The IP quality check looks at the connection you are using and adds what only your browser can test: WebRTC, timezone, which IP other sites see, and platform reachability. Both use the same score.

Is there a limit?

Each visitor can run 60 lookups per hour. That is plenty for checking addresses by hand; the limit keeps the tool from being used as a bulk geolocation API.
