Yes, you can lookup any valid IPv4 or IPv6 address. Simply enter the IP address in the search box on our homepage to get detailed information about it.
IP geolocation accuracy varies depending on the IP address type. For most IP addresses, we can accurately determine the country (99%+ accuracy), city (75-85% accuracy), and approximate coordinates. Mobile and VPN IP addresses may have lower accuracy.
We aggregate data from multiple reliable sources including regional internet registries (RIRs), ISP databases, and commercial geolocation providers to ensure the most accurate and up-to-date information.
Our IP database is updated regularly to ensure accuracy. Major updates occur monthly, with critical updates applied more frequently as needed.
IP geolocation is based on the registered location of your ISP or network provider, not your exact physical location. If you are using a VPN, proxy, or mobile network, the location may show the server location instead of your actual location.
We temporarily log IP addresses for service optimization and security purposes. These logs are automatically deleted after a short period. Please read our Privacy Policy for detailed information about data handling.
