This tool performs its lookup entirely client-side: your browser calls the
ipapi.co geolocation
endpoint directly, with api.ipify.org
as a fallback that reports just the raw address. Nothing is proxied through our servers and nothing is stored
after the page closes. What you see is the public IP your traffic presents to the internet, together with the
registration data attached to that address.
Treat the location fields as approximate. IP geolocation maps an address to the organization that registered
it, such as an ISP hub, a data center, or a corporate network block, so the listed city is often the
registration site rather than your actual location, and a VPN or mobile carrier can place it far away. The
network fields are more dependable: the ASN identifies the autonomous system that routes your packets, and
the organization is the registered owner of the address block.
Developers reach for this page to confirm egress IPs for API allowlists, verify that a VPN actually changed
the visible address before testing geo-restricted features, and check whether the current connection egresses
over IPv4 or IPv6. To investigate a domain rather than an address, use the
WHOIS Lookup,
encode callback URLs with the URL Encoder,
or fingerprint payloads with the Hash Generator.
