Intelligence breakdown

What every IP lookup reveals

Six layers of intelligence hidden inside a string of numbers.

Geolocation

Country, region, city and approximate coordinates derived from how ISPs register their IP blocks in public databases.

±25–50 miles city-level accuracy

ISP & Organization

The Internet Service Provider or company that owns the IP block — Jio, AT&T, Cloudflare, AWS, etc.

From WHOIS & routing databases

ASN

Autonomous System Number — the unique network identifier assigned to every organization that manages IP blocks on the internet.

e.g. AS15169 = Google

Timezone

The timezone associated with the IP's geographic location, useful for scheduling and understanding user context in analytics.

e.g. Asia/Kolkata (UTC+5:30)

VPN / Proxy Flag

Whether the IP routes through a known VPN service, proxy, Tor exit node, or anonymizing network based on reputation databases.

Detects 95%+ of commercial VPNs

Hosting / Datacenter

Whether the IP belongs to a cloud provider or datacenter (AWS, Azure, GCP, DigitalOcean) rather than a residential or mobile connection.

Useful for bot & crawler detection

Understanding IPs

IPv4 vs IPv6 — what's the difference?

Both are supported by this tool. Here's what you need to know.

IPv4

The original internet address

A 32-bit address written as four numbers separated by dots. With only ~4.3 billion possible addresses, IPv4 space is now exhausted — ISPs use NAT to share addresses among many customers.

203.0.113.42
32-bit ~4.3B addresses Universal support
IPv6

The next generation

A 128-bit address written in eight groups of hexadecimal digits. IPv6 provides 340 undecillion addresses — essentially unlimited — ensuring the internet can continue growing forever.

2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334
128-bit 340 undecillion Growing adoption

FAQ

IP questions,
answered simply.

Everything you wanted to know about IP addresses, geolocation, and privacy — in plain English.

Ask a question
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique numerical label assigned to every device connected to the internet. Think of it as your device's postal address on the internet — it tells servers where to send the data you requested. IPv4 addresses use a familiar dotted-decimal format (e.g. 203.0.113.1) while IPv6 uses a longer hexadecimal format (e.g. 2001:db8::1).
An IP address can reveal your approximate city-level location (within 25–50 miles), your Internet Service Provider, your timezone, and whether you are using a VPN or proxy. What it cannot reveal: your exact home address, your name, your device model, or any personal identity information. Only your ISP has that mapping — and they only share it under a legal court order.
ToolNexIn does not log, store, or share your IP address. The lookup calls a public geolocation API and the results are displayed only in your browser. The lookup history is saved in your own browser's localStorage — it lives on your device and is never sent to our servers.
IP geolocation is approximate. The accuracy depends on how ISPs register their IP blocks in public databases. City-level accuracy is typically within 25–50 miles; country-level is over 99% accurate. If you use a VPN, the tool will show your VPN server's location — not your physical one. Corporate users may see their company's headquarters city instead of their actual office.
It means the IP address belongs to a known VPN service, proxy server, or anonymizing network rather than a standard residential or mobile connection. This is detected by cross-referencing the IP against reputation databases of known datacenter ranges and VPN providers. It does not identify which specific service or person is using it.
An Autonomous System Number (ASN) uniquely identifies a network or group of networks managed by a single organization on the internet. For example, Google's ASN is AS15169, Cloudflare's is AS13335. It tells you exactly which organization controls the IP block — useful for DevOps, security research, and understanding where traffic originates.
No. Private IP ranges — 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, 172.16–31.x.x, and 127.x.x.x — are used only within local networks and are not routable on the public internet. They have no geolocation data. This tool works exclusively with public IP addresses.
Side-by-side comparison is useful for DevOps engineers checking two server IPs, security teams comparing a suspicious IP against a known safe IP, or developers verifying that two CDN edge nodes are in different regions. Enter two IPs in the Compare tab and see all fields aligned next to each other in one view.
