Locate any IP address — country, city, ISP, ASN, proxy detection
This free IP geolocation lookup is an OSINT utility that resolves the public metadata behind any IPv4 or IPv6 address. Enter an address — or leave the field blank to check your own — and the tool returns the approximate location (country and city), the ISP or hosting organisation, the ASN (autonomous system number) that announces the address, and indicators such as proxy or hosting-provider detection. It draws on publicly available geolocation and network-registry databases rather than any private subscriber records, so it shows where an address sits in the internet's routing fabric, not who is using it.
The result panel pairs geographic fields (country, city, timezone) with network fields (ISP, organisation, ASN). The ASN and organisation are usually the most reliable signals, because they come from regional internet registries; the city-level location is an estimate and can be off by a wide margin, especially for mobile or cloud ranges. When the lookup flags an address as a proxy, VPN exit, or data-centre IP, it means the location shown is the exit node, not a person's home. In OSINT methodology, IP geolocation is a pivot point rather than an endpoint: analysts combine the ISP and ASN with passive DNS, hosting history, and timestamps to build context, and they treat city-level coordinates as approximate. This IP geolocation lookup is built for that first enrichment step.
Country-level results are usually reliable, but city-level location is an estimate from public databases and can be inaccurate, sometimes by hundreds of kilometres. Mobile, cloud, and VPN ranges are the least precise. Never treat the city as a person's exact address.
An ASN (autonomous system number) identifies the network operator that announces a block of IP addresses to the global routing table. It is a strong, registry-backed signal for attributing an address to an ISP, hosting provider, or organisation.
No. If an address is a VPN or proxy exit node, the geolocation reflects that exit node, not the real user behind it. The tool can often flag that an address belongs to a hosting or proxy provider, which is itself a useful signal.
No. This tool does not log or store the IP addresses you query. It performs each geolocation lookup against public databases on demand.
To enrich an IP from the network side, pivot to the BGP and ASN routing lookup for the operator's prefixes, the WHOIS and RDAP domain lookup to tie hostnames to the address, and the domain DNS and email-security scanner to map services on the same infrastructure.
