- 01
Your IP auto-detected
The tool automatically detects and displays your public IP address on load, along with basic location and ISP information.
- 02
Look up any IP
Enter any IPv4, IPv6 address, or hostname in the search field and click Lookup to retrieve geolocation and network details.

Review all details
See location (country, city, coordinates), network info (ISP, ASN), security indicators (VPN, proxy, hosting), and an optional map view.
Frequently Asked Questions
What information does an IP lookup reveal?
An IP address lookup can show the approximate geographic location (country, region, city), the ISP (Internet Service Provider), the organization or company the IP is registered to, the ASN (Autonomous System Number), timezone, and whether the IP is associated with a VPN, proxy, hosting provider, or Tor exit node. It cannot reveal a person's exact street address, name, or personal details.
How accurate is IP geolocation?
IP geolocation accuracy varies. Country-level accuracy is typically 95–99%. City-level accuracy is much lower — often 50–80% correct — and can be off by dozens of miles. Mobile users may show location of their carrier's data center rather than their actual location. VPN users show the VPN server's location. Geolocation is an approximation, not precise tracking.
What is an ASN (Autonomous System Number)?
An Autonomous System (AS) is a large network or group of networks managed by a single organization with a unified routing policy. Every AS has a unique number called an ASN. For example, AS15169 is Google. ASNs help identify which organization controls a block of IP addresses — useful for identifying ISPs, hosting providers, or corporate networks.
How can I hide my IP address?
Use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to route your traffic through a different server — lookups will show the VPN server's IP and location instead of yours. Tor routes traffic through multiple nodes, making tracing very difficult. Proxy servers also mask your IP. Note: the VPN/proxy indicator in this tool can detect whether an IP belongs to a known VPN provider or datacenter.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 addresses are 32-bit numbers written as four decimal octets (e.g., 192.168.1.1). IPv4 has about 4.3 billion possible addresses, which are nearly exhausted. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses written as eight groups of hex digits (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334). IPv6 provides virtually unlimited addresses. Both formats are supported by this lookup tool.
Is my IP lookup query private?
This tool queries ipwho.is directly from your browser. Privatool's servers are not involved in the lookup — your query goes directly from your browser to the geolocation API. However, ipwho.is may log queries according to their own privacy policy. For sensitive lookups, consider using a VPN.
