IP Address Lookup Tool
Instantly find your public IP address and detailed geolocation data — including country, city, ISP, timezone, and more.
What Is an IP Address?
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique numerical label assigned to every device connected to a computer network. It serves two main purposes: identifying the host or network interface and providing the location of the device in the network. Every time you access a website, your IP address is visible to the server you connect to.
There are two versions currently in use — IPv4 (e.g., 192.168.1.1) which uses a 32-bit format, and IPv6 (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334) which uses a 128-bit format to accommodate the growing number of internet-connected devices worldwide.
What Does This IP Lookup Tool Show?
The SanishTech IP Address Lookup tool instantly retrieves detailed information associated with any IPv4 or IPv6 address, including:
- Country & City — Geographic location of the IP address
- ISP & Organisation — Internet Service Provider or hosting company
- ASN — Autonomous System Number identifying the network
- Timezone — Local timezone based on the IP's location
- Coordinates — Approximate latitude and longitude
- Proxy / VPN Detection — Whether the IP is associated with a proxy or VPN service
Who Uses an IP Address Lookup Tool?
IP lookup tools are used by a wide range of professionals and everyday users including network administrators diagnosing connectivity issues, cybersecurity professionals investigating suspicious activity, website owners analysing traffic sources, developers testing geolocation-based features, and individuals checking their own IP for privacy awareness.
How to Use This Tool
- Your current public IP is automatically detected and displayed when the page loads
- To look up a different IP address, enter it in the "Lookup any IP" field
- Click the Lookup button to fetch detailed information
- All IP details including country, ISP, timezone, and coordinates are displayed instantly
- Use the Copy button to copy the IP address to your clipboard
IPv4 vs IPv6 — What's the Difference?
IPv4 addresses use a 32-bit format expressed as four groups of numbers (e.g., 203.0.113.1), supporting approximately 4.3 billion unique addresses. IPv6 uses a 128-bit hexadecimal format, providing a virtually unlimited pool of addresses — around 340 undecillion — designed to future-proof the internet as connected devices multiply globally. This tool supports lookup for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
Is This Tool Free?
Yes. The SanishTech IP Address Lookup tool is completely free with no registration required. Simply visit the page and your IP address is automatically detected. You can also perform unlimited lookups on any IP address at no cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
Your current public IP address is automatically detected and displayed at the top of this page as soon as it loads. It is the IP address your Internet Service Provider has assigned to your connection and is visible to every website you visit.
You can look up any publicly routable IP address using the custom lookup field. However, IP geolocation data only shows approximate location at the city or region level — not an individual's home address. Never use IP lookup tools to attempt to locate or identify individuals without their consent.
IP geolocation is approximate. ISPs often route traffic through regional hubs, meaning your detected city may show your ISP's data centre location rather than your exact location. Accuracy is generally higher at the country and region level than at the city level.
An Autonomous System Number (ASN) is a unique identifier assigned to a collection of IP networks and routers managed by a single organisation, such as an ISP, university, or large company. ASNs are used by internet routing protocols to manage how data travels across networks globally.
Yes. The tool includes a Proxy/VPN detection field that indicates whether the queried IP address is associated with known VPN services, proxy servers, data centres, or Tor exit nodes. This field may not be 100% accurate for all VPN providers, especially newer ones.
A public IP address is assigned by your ISP and is visible on the internet. A private IP address (e.g., 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x) is used within your local network and is not visible externally. This tool detects and displays your public IP address, not your local private address.
IP geolocation accuracy varies by data provider. Country-level accuracy is typically above 95%. City-level accuracy ranges from 50% to 80% depending on the ISP and region. Rural or mobile IPs tend to have lower location accuracy than fixed broadband connections in urban areas.
Yes. Every website you visit can see your public IP address through server logs. It is a fundamental part of how internet connections work. If you want to mask your IP address, you can use a VPN, proxy service, or the Tor browser, though each has trade-offs in speed and privacy.
An IPv6 address looks like this: 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334. It uses hexadecimal characters separated by colons. Yes, this tool fully supports IPv6 lookup — simply enter any valid IPv6 address in the lookup field to retrieve its geolocation and network details.
Most residential internet connections use dynamic IP addresses, meaning your ISP reassigns a different IP periodically or when you restart your router. Businesses and servers typically use static IP addresses that do not change. Mobile data connections also frequently change IP addresses as you move between cell towers.
