IP Geolocation
Find the geographic location, ISP, organisation and ASN for any IP address.
About IP Geolocation
IP geolocation maps an IP address to a physical location using databases that correlate IP address blocks with registration data, routing information, and other signals. It can reveal the country, region, city, ISP, and autonomous system number (ASN) associated with an IP address.
Accuracy and limitations
- Country level — Very accurate (99%+). Almost universally reliable for determining which country an IP belongs to.
- City level — Moderately accurate (70–80%). Can be off by significant distances, especially for mobile networks, satellite connections, or large ISPs that aggregate addresses across regions.
- VPNs and proxies — A VPN or proxy routes traffic through an intermediary server. The geolocation shown is that of the exit node, not the user's actual location.
- Business IPs — Companies with large networks may have their traffic routed through a central egress point that geolocates to their HQ, not the employee's city.
What the ASN tells you
The ASN (Autonomous System Number) identifies the network operator — typically an ISP, hosting provider, or large organisation. For example, AS15169 is Google, AS16509 is Amazon AWS, AS8075 is Microsoft. Knowing the ASN helps distinguish residential users from cloud hosting providers, content delivery networks, or corporate networks.
Frequently asked questions
How accurate is IP geolocation?
IP geolocation is typically accurate to the country level (99%+) and city level (70–80%). It is not a precise GPS location. VPN, proxy and Tor users will show the location of the exit node, not their real location.
