Locate My IP
Check the location of your public IP on the map below — automatically. Or type any IPv4 / IPv6 address into the IP finder to locate it.

The circle marks the approximate area — roughly 15 km — where this IP is most likely to be. IP geolocation cannot resolve to a street address.
How IP location works — and how accurate it is
An IP address doesn't contain a GPS coordinate. Location comes from databases that map address ranges to places, built from registry records, ISP data and network measurements. That has two practical consequences:
- Accuracy is city-level at best. The dot on the map usually sits on your ISP's routing hub, not your rooftop.
- ISPs and VPNs shift everything. Mobile networks often report a regional capital; a VPN reports the server's country instead of yours.
What IP location is good for: verifying a VPN is doing its job, checking where a server or email sender is based, fraud screening, and satisfying curiosity about what your own address reveals. Need to dig deeper? Follow up with the Proxy & VPN Check or the Reverse IP lookup.
About locating IP addresses
How accurate is IP geolocation?
IP geolocation is typically accurate to the city or regional level. The pinpoint shown on the map often marks your ISP's routing equipment rather than your device. It can never reveal a street address.
Can I locate someone else's IP address?
You can look up the approximate location of any IP address with the search box above — for example an address from an email header or server log. As with your own IP, results are approximate to a city or region.
Why does the map show a different city than where I live?
Geolocation databases map IP ranges to places and are maintained by ISPs and data providers. If the range is registered to a nearby hub city, that is what appears. VPNs and corporate networks will also shift the reported location.
