Where is this IP address really located?

Enter a public IPv4 or IPv6 address. You'll get a documented location estimate, a confidence level for country/city, and ping latency indicators.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the location estimate of an IP address?
The country is usually very reliable. The city/region is much harder to estimate accurately and can differ from the real location. The exact address cannot be determined by any tool today. Only the internet service provider can know that.
Why do the sources disagree with each other?
Each IP address geolocation database is built from different underlying records and updates at a different pace. Disagreement between them is normal and does not mean anything unusual about an IP.
Does this tool reveal the real, exact location of an IP?
No. As mentioned above, no tool can do this. Our tool gives a documented estimate with a confidence level at the city/region level, and cannot show a specific building or exact address.
How does the tool work, and what happens to my data?
We compare 3 different geolocation databases and, where possible, measure latency (ping) from real probes near the area. The result for each IP is cached for up to 7 days, while your own IP as a visitor is not stored permanently, but stays in cache for 24 hours to prevent abuse of the service.

K1VPN uses the databases below to locate and compare the location of an IP address. The databases are stored locally on our servers, so the address you enter is not sent to their providers. For network latency measurements and registration data (RDAP), the IP is sent to the Globalping and RDAP services, as explained on the methodology page. The IP and its results are kept in a temporary cache for up to 7 days (less if the result is incomplete) to avoid overloading our servers, and are then deleted automatically. We use data from:

  1. K1VPN uses the IP2Location LITE database for IP geolocation.
  2. This product includes GeoLite Data created by MaxMind, available from https://www.maxmind.com.
  3. IP Geolocation by DB-IP.
