Question 1

What information can I find with an IP address lookup?

Accepted Answer

An IP lookup can reveal the approximate geographic location (country, region, city), the ISP (Internet Service Provider) that owns the IP block, the ASN (Autonomous System Number), timezone, and in some cases whether the IP is associated with a VPN, proxy, or hosting provider. Exact street-level address is not available from IP alone.

Question 2

How accurate is IP geolocation?

Accepted Answer

IP geolocation is generally accurate to country level (99%+), region or state level (85–95%), and city level (50–80%). Accuracy decreases with finer granularity. Mobile users, VPNs, and corporate networks can cause the displayed location to differ significantly from the physical location of the user.

Question 3

What is an ASN?

Accepted Answer

An ASN (Autonomous System Number) is a unique identifier assigned to a network or collection of IP ranges managed by a single organization, such as an ISP, university, or large company. ASNs are used by internet routing protocols (BGP) to direct traffic between networks.

Question 4

Can I look up my own IP address with this tool?

Accepted Answer

Yes. When you open the tool, it automatically detects and displays your current public IP address along with all available details. You can also type any other IP address into the search field to look it up.

Question 5

Does the tool support IPv6 addresses?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The tool supports both IPv4 (e.g., 8.8.8.8) and IPv6 (e.g., 2001:4860:4860::8888) address lookups. IPv6 geolocation data may be less detailed than IPv4 depending on the underlying database coverage.
