What is IP Address Info?
Frequently Asked Questions
Technical Deep Dive
IP Address Info
Look up IP address information including geolocation (city, region, country), ISP/organization, ASN, postal code, timezone, and coordinates. Auto-detects your own public IP on load. Enter any IPv4/IPv6 address or hostname to look up. Displays an embedded map when coordinates are available. Data sourced from ipinfo.io.
Geo, ISP, ASN, timezone
Resolves an IP or hostname to approximate location, network owner, autonomous-system number, and local time.
IPv4 and IPv6
Handles both, plus reverse-DNS where available, so it works for log triage and allowlist checks alike.
One clean lookup
A single query per address, with the raw fields shown — no history kept between lookups.

03 Privacy & Security Considerations
-
What IP Reveals About You Your public IP address exposes your approximate geographic location (city-level accuracy), your Internet Service Provider, and whether you are behind a VPN or proxy. Enterprises use IP geolocation for fraud detection, content licensing restrictions, and compliance with data sovereignty regulations like GDPR.
-
IPv4 Exhaustion and IPv6 Transition The IPv4 address space (4.3 billion addresses) has been fully allocated since 2011. IPv6 provides 340 undecillion addresses but adoption remains at roughly 45% globally as of 2026. Many ISPs use Carrier-Grade NAT (CGNAT) to share a single public IPv4 address across hundreds of subscribers, which means the IP you see here may not be uniquely yours.
-
VPN and Proxy Detection Services like MaxMind and IPinfo maintain databases of known VPN exit nodes, Tor relays, and datacenter IP ranges. If this tool shows your IP as a datacenter address rather than a residential one, your VPN is working correctly. Corporate proxies often show the office gateway IP rather than your personal connection.
