How accurate is IP geolocation?

IP geolocation is typically accurate to the city level for most IPs. Country-level accuracy is about 99%, while city-level accuracy is around 80-90%. Mobile IPs and VPNs may show less accurate locations due to dynamic IP assignment and server locations.

Can I look up any IP address?

Yes, you can look up any public IP address (IPv4 or IPv6). Private IP addresses (like 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, or 172.16-31.x.x) cannot be geolocated as they are only used within local networks and don't appear on the public internet.

What DNS records can I look up?

The tool shows A records (IPv4 addresses), AAAA records (IPv6 addresses), MX records (mail servers with priority), NS records (nameservers), and TXT records (SPF, DKIM, verification) for any domain name.

What does proxy/VPN detection mean?

The tool can detect if an IP address is likely being used through a VPN service, proxy server, Tor exit node, or is a hosting/datacenter IP rather than a residential connection. This is useful for security analysis and fraud detection.

How do I find my own IP address?

Click the 'My IP' button in the top right corner of the tool. This will automatically detect your public IP address and show all available information including your location, ISP, and network details.

What is an ASN (Autonomous System Number)?

An ASN is a unique identifier assigned to networks (like ISPs or large organizations) that control a block of IP addresses. It helps identify who owns and manages the network infrastructure for an IP address.

What is reverse DNS lookup?

Reverse DNS (rDNS) lookup finds the domain name associated with an IP address, the opposite of normal DNS which finds IP addresses for domain names. It's commonly used for email server verification and network diagnostics.

Is this IP lookup tool free to use?

Yes, this IP address lookup tool is completely free to use with no registration required. You can perform unlimited lookups for any IP address or domain name without any cost.

What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?

IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses (like 192.168.1.1), while IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses (like 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334). IPv6 was created to address the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses and provides a much larger address space.

Why does my IP location show a different city?

IP geolocation databases may show your ISP's regional hub location rather than your exact city. This is normal, especially for mobile connections, VPNs, or if your ISP assigns IP addresses from a different geographic region.
