IP Lookup
Find your public IP and look up approximate location, ISP and network details. Review provider limits and why IP location is not a precise address.

The address used to reach Genory. A VPN or proxy may change it. This does not test both IP versions.
Approximate country and city are loaded automatically via IPWHOIS using your public IP. This is not your precise location.
Look up an IP address
Explore the approximate location and network behind a public IPv4 or IPv6 address.
Your public IP is looked up automatically. Manual lookups send the selected IP to IPWHOIS for location and network data, and queries reverse DNS for a hostname. Results are cached in server memory for up to 15 minutes. Browser details stay in your browser. Free to use; request limits apply.

Example public addresses

IPv6: 2606:4700:4700::1111These are public DNS service addresses. Their reported locations describe network infrastructure, not a person’s home.
| Information | Meaning | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Public IP | Address used for this request | Only the connection’s selected IP version |
| Location | IP database estimate | Not an exact physical location |
| ISP / ASN | Network registration and provider information | Does not identify an individual |
| Hostname | Available reverse DNS record | May be absent or differ from a website name |
Before you use the result
Practical answers for your next test.
Is an account required?
No. Basic lookups are free, with request limits and a shared provider allowance.
Where is the IP sent?
Genory automatically sends your public IP to IPWHOIS for the country and city shown at the top and queries reverse DNS. Manual lookups send the selected address through the same service. Results may remain in server memory for up to 15 minutes. Browser details are displayed locally.
Why is the location different from mine?
Database estimates, mobile networks, VPNs, proxies and distributed infrastructure can all affect the reported location.
Does this check IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity separately?
No. Your public IP shows the address used for this request. You can manually look up either address type.
