Look up IP Address Location
IP-Based Geolocation Accuracy
The Geolocation lookup tool provided on this page is an estimate of where the IP address may be located. The data come from a few IP-Based Geolocation providers, and their accuracy varies depending on how quickly they update their database when changes occur. Since many Internet users are getting their dynamic IP address from their ISP, and most ISPs serve their customers in multiple regions causing Geolocation lookup to be accurate to the region they serve. For example, AT&T in the United States serve their customers in entire USA and the accuracy may be limited to the Country level. Other ISPs may be serving smaller areas, and some ISPs create subnetworks to serve their customers in smaller regions. For this reason, the IP-based Geolocation will be about 99% accurate at the country level while the accuracy of State and City may be at much less accurate level somewhere around 50% range.

Frequently asked questions
Should I use IPv4 or IPv6?
Which type of IP address you use depends on your specific situation, and you should first consider some key factors. If you want to be ready and future-proof your systems, IPv6 is the way to go. But if you’re dealing with lots of older devices and using legacy systems, you may need to stick with IPv4 for now. Most websites and applications still support IPv4, so you’ll rarely have compatibility issues. It’s also easier to implement although not as safe as IPv6.
You can also opt for a dual-stack approach — it’s a good way to maintain compatibility while gradually adopting IPv6 without completely dropping IPv4.
What are the disadvantages of IPv6?
One of the main disadvantages of IPv6 is its lack of backward compatibility with IPv4. Many older systems, devices, and networks need upgrades to support IPv6, which can be expensive and time-consuming. So network admins often have to opt for a dual-stack configuration that runs both IPv4 and IPv6 but increases network complexity. Some network admins might find the learning curve and the inherent complexity of IPv6 challenging, and misconfigurations or security gaps may arise.
You can read our blog post to learn how to enable or disable IPv6.
Can I use both IPv4 and IPv6?
Yes, you can use both IPv4 and IPv6 if you set up a dual-stack configuration for your network.
