IP Address Lookup
Enter any IPv4 or IPv6 address to get its approximate geographic location — city, region, country, ISP, timezone, and coordinates. Click Detect My IP to look up your own current public IP address instantly.
Frequently Asked Questions
What information does an IP lookup return?▼
An IP address lookup returns geographic information including city, region, country, timezone, ISP (Internet Service Provider), organization, and approximate latitude/longitude coordinates. Note that geolocation is approximate — accuracy varies by IP type and ISP routing.
Can I look up my own IP address?▼
Yes. Click 'Detect My IP' to automatically retrieve your current public IP address and its associated location data. This shows the IP your device uses when connecting to the internet, which may be your ISP's IP or a VPN/proxy IP if you're using one.
Why is my IP geolocation inaccurate?▼
IP geolocation is an estimation based on registration data, not GPS. ISPs often register IP blocks at their headquarters rather than where individual customers are. VPNs and proxies also cause the detected location to differ from your physical location. Accuracy is typically within 25–100 miles for most residential IPs.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?▼
IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses (e.g., 192.168.1.1) providing ~4.3 billion unique addresses. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses (e.g., 2001:db8::1) providing a virtually unlimited address space. IPv6 was introduced to solve IPv4 exhaustion. Both are supported by this lookup tool.
Can I look up a private IP address?▼
Private IP ranges (10.x.x.x, 172.16–31.x.x, 192.168.x.x) are reserved for local networks and cannot be geolocated — they're not routable on the public internet. The tool works with public (routable) IP addresses only.
Is this tool free and private?▼
Yes. The lookup uses a public API (ipapi.co) and your query is sent to their servers to resolve geolocation data. Your lookup history is not stored by DevPlaybook. The API may have rate limits for high-volume usage.
