IP Lookup

IP Tools

Ownership, ASN, prefix and geolocation for any address.

Run this tool: the interactive IP Lookup loads here (requires JavaScript). Input: IP address — e.g. 203.0.113.10.

Description

IP Lookup turns an IP address into context: the announcing ASN and prefix, the responsible organisation, the country and city it geolocates to, and the regional internet registry that allocated it.

Features

✓ ASN, prefix and announcing organisation
✓ Geolocation (country, region, city)
✓ Regional internet registry (RIR) identification
✓ IPv4 and IPv6 support

How to Use

Enter an IP address (203.0.113.10) and run the tool. The probe queries geolocation and routing databases to assemble a full context report for the address.

Input: IP address — e.g. 203.0.113.10.

Understanding the Results

The output shows the ASN, allocated prefix, organisation name, country, region, city, coordinates and RIR (ARIN, RIPE, APNIC, LACNIC or AFRINIC). Use it to identify the owner and origin of an address seen in logs, mail headers or abuse reports.

Common Use Cases & Examples

→ Identify the owner and origin of an IP in access or abuse logs.

→ Attribute a connection to a hosting provider or cloud platform.

→ Estimate the country/region of a visitor for compliance.

→ Investigate a suspicious IP from a mail header or firewall alert.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is IP geolocation?

Country-level accuracy is generally high (95%+). City-level accuracy varies and is less reliable for mobile or CDN/anycast IPs, which may report the PoP location rather than the user. Treat city-level results as approximate.

What is an ASN?

An Autonomous System Number identifies a network that exchanges routes with the internet via BGP. The ASN tells you which organisation announces the IP block the address belongs to — useful for attributing traffic to a hosting provider, ISP or cloud platform.

Why does my IP show a different city than where I am?

Geolocation databases map IP blocks to registered locations, which may be the ISP’s headquarters or a CDN edge rather than your physical location. VPNs and mobile carriers also cause mismatches.

Testing methodology
IP geolocation uses the public ip-api.com service; WHOIS/RDAP uses the rdap.org bootstrap and follows redirects to the authoritative RDAP server; the Subnet Calculator and Multicast MAC Checker are pure local arithmetic with no network calls; BGP Route View queries public route-data services.
