IP Geolocation is a free online tool that determines the physical location of an IP address. It reveals geographic information including country, region, city, postal code, latitude/longitude coordinates, timezone, and ISP details. This is valuable for security analysis, fraud prevention, and understanding visitor demographics.
Our tool provides accurate geolocation data for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, along with additional information like ASN (Autonomous System Number), organization details, and advanced security detection for VPNs, proxies, and datacenter IPs.
Get country, region, city, postal code, and precise coordinates for any IP address.
Identify the Internet Service Provider and organization associated with the IP.
Determine the timezone and local time for the IP address location.
Support for both IPv4 and IPv6 address geolocation lookups.
Detect VPNs, proxies, and datacenter IPs for enhanced security analysis.
Download geolocation data as JSON for integration with your applications.
Detect suspicious login attempts from unusual locations, identify VPN/proxy usage, and prevent account takeovers by monitoring IP geolocation patterns.
Understand your audience demographics, analyze traffic sources by country, and optimize content delivery based on visitor locations.
Serve location-specific content, display prices in local currency, and customize user experience based on geographic location.
Enforce geographic restrictions for content licensing, comply with GDPR and data residency requirements, and block access from restricted regions.
| Feature | IPv4 | IPv6 |
|---|---|---|
| Address Format | 32-bit (e.g., 192.168.1.1) | 128-bit (e.g., 2001:0db8::1) |
| Total Addresses | ~4.3 billion | ~340 undecillion |
| Address Notation | Decimal (dotted) | Hexadecimal (colon) |
| Geolocation Accuracy | High (mature databases) | Moderate (improving) |
| Adoption | Universal | Growing rapidly |
IP geolocation is typically accurate to the city level (about 80-90% accuracy). Country-level accuracy is near 99%. Exact street addresses cannot be determined from IP addresses alone. Accuracy depends on the quality of the geolocation database and how frequently it's updated.
VPNs and proxies mask the real location, mobile networks may show carrier headquarters instead of actual location, ISPs sometimes route traffic through different regions, and geolocation databases may contain outdated information. Corporate networks often show headquarters location rather than branch offices.
ASN (Autonomous System Number) is a unique identifier assigned to networks on the internet. It identifies the organization that operates the IP address block. ASNs are used for routing internet traffic and help identify the network owner, which is useful for security analysis and network troubleshooting.
Your IP address reveals your approximate location (city/region) and ISP, but not your exact physical address or personal identity. However, law enforcement and ISPs can link IP addresses to specific users. To enhance privacy, use a VPN, which masks your real IP address with the VPN server's IP.
Use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to route your traffic through a different server, use the Tor browser for anonymous browsing, connect through a proxy server, or use your mobile data instead of WiFi. VPNs are the most reliable method for changing your apparent location and protecting privacy.
A static IP address never changes and is permanently assigned to your device, ideal for hosting servers or remote access. A dynamic IP address changes periodically (when you reconnect or after a set time) and is assigned by your ISP from a pool of available addresses. Most home users have dynamic IPs.
VPN detection analyzes IP addresses against known VPN server lists, checks for datacenter hosting patterns, examines port usage and connection characteristics, and looks for mismatches between timezone/language settings and IP location. Many VPN IPs are shared by multiple users, which is another detection indicator.
