What is an IP Lookup Tool?

An IP lookup tool reveals information about an IP address, including geographic location, internet service provider (ISP), organization, and network details. It’s useful for security investigations, network troubleshooting, and understanding where web traffic originates.

Our tool can detect your own public IP address with one click and display associated geolocation data. This information comes from IP geolocation databases that map IP address ranges to physical locations and organizations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is IP geolocation?

IP geolocation is typically accurate to the city level for most residential connections, though it can be off by 50-100 miles in some cases. It’s reliable for country-level detection (99%+ accuracy) but shouldn’t be used for precise physical location.

What’s the difference between public and private IP addresses?

Your public IP is assigned by your ISP and is visible to the internet. Private IPs (like 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x) are used within your local network and aren’t routable on the internet. This tool shows your public IP.
