IP Lookup displays your public IP address and geolocation information for your current internet connection. It shows details like ISP, city, region, country, coordinates, and timezone. Useful for verifying VPN connections, setting up remote access, or troubleshooting network issues. Data is fetched in real-time from ipinfo.io API directly in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my IP address show my exact location?▼
IP-based geolocation is based on ISP data center locations, showing only approximate city/region level. Actual location can differ by tens of kilometers from the displayed location.
Is it dangerous if my IP address is exposed?▼
An IP address alone cannot reveal your exact address or personal information. However, it could be targeted for DDoS attacks, so avoid sharing it in untrusted places.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?▼
IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses like 192.168.0.1, while IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses like 2001:db8::1. Due to IPv4 exhaustion, the internet is transitioning to IPv6, and most ISPs support both.
