IP Geolocation Lookup

Enter an IP address or a domain name to see where it is registered: country, region, city, ISP, ASN and local time zone, with a map. Or check your own public IP in one click.

How to use the IP Geolocation Lookup

  1. Enter an IP address (such as 8.8.8.8 or 2606:4700::1111) or a domain name such as wikipedia.org.
  2. Click Find location, or click Use my IP to look up your own connection.
  3. Read the details: location, network owner (ISP and ASN) and time zone with the current local time.
  4. Check the map for the approximate position, and open it in a full map if needed.
  5. For domains with several IPs, click any other address chip to look it up too.

Addresses that cannot be located

Some ranges are reserved and never appear on the public internet. The tool recognizes them instantly and does not send them to any service:

RangePurpose
10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16Private networks (RFC 1918): home and office LANs
100.64.0.0/10Carrier-grade NAT inside ISP networks (RFC 6598)
127.0.0.0/8, ::1Loopback: your own device
169.254.0.0/16, fe80::/10Link-local, self-assigned addresses
fc00::/7IPv6 unique local (private) addresses
192.0.2.0/24, 198.51.100.0/24, 203.0.113.0/24, 2001:db8::/32Reserved for documentation and examples

Common uses

  • Investigating logins or traffic: check where a suspicious sign-in or a burst of requests came from, and which provider operates the address.
  • Email troubleshooting: locate the sending server from a message's Received headers (use the Email Header Analyzer) and check its hostname with the Reverse DNS Lookup.
  • Checking a VPN: click Use my IP while connected to confirm which country websites see.
  • Finding where a site is hosted: enter a domain to see the hosting or CDN provider behind it.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is IP geolocation?

Country is correct for the vast majority of addresses. Region and city are estimates from registry data and network measurements, often accurate within a few tens of kilometres for fixed broadband but sometimes off by much more. Mobile networks, VPNs and corporate networks often show the location of a gateway rather than the user.

Can an IP lookup find someone's home address?

No. IP geolocation only shows an approximate area, usually the city or region where the provider's network equipment is. Only the internet provider can link an IP to a subscriber, and it discloses that only to authorities through legal processes.

What is an ASN?

An Autonomous System Number identifies a network that has its own routing policy on the internet, such as an ISP, a cloud provider or a large company. All IP ranges announced by that network share the same ASN, so it tells you who operates the address.

Why does a VPN or proxy IP show a different country?

Geolocation describes the IP address, not the person. When you use a VPN, proxy or a privacy relay, websites see the VPN server's address, so the lookup shows the server's location and the VPN provider as ISP.

Why can't private IPs like 192.168.1.1 be located?

Private ranges (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16 and others) are reused inside millions of local networks and are never routed on the internet, so they have no location. The tool detects them and does not send them anywhere.

Where does the data come from?

Location data comes from the free ipwho.is geolocation API, with ipapi.co as a fallback, and domain names are resolved through Cloudflare's public DNS-over-HTTPS. Requests go directly from your browser; FreeToolCabin runs no server for this tool and stores nothing.

Are all the tools on FreeToolCabin tested for quality and accuracy?

Yes! Every tool on our site undergoes automated Q/A testing in real browser environments to ensure high precision, correct output, and zero errors. If you happen to spot a bug or have a suggestion, please contact us at [email protected] and our team will review it right away.
