IP Geolocation & ASN Explorer
Track and audit any public IPv4 or IPv6 address in real time: geographical coordinates, country, city, ASN, ISP, and timezone.
How Does IP Geolocation Work?
RIR Delegation & BGP Prefixes
IP blocks are delegated by Regional Internet Registries into Autonomous Systems (ASNs), mapping routing blocks to distinct operating service providers.
City Mapping & PoP Nodes
GeoIP mapping engines analyze provider Points of Presence and multi-node latency probes to pinpoint the city with 70% to 90% accuracy without GPS.
Residential Privacy Safeguards
An IP query never exposes a citizen's street address, apartment number, or personal identity. Coordinates represent ISP edge infrastructure centers.
Common IP Geolocation Issues & Solutions
Issue 1: Reported city is 50 km away or in a neighbor province
This is expected behavior: ISPs route entire residential subnets through their regional core router datacenter.
Apps requiring street-level accuracy use W3C Geolocation API leveraging GPS and Wi-Fi SSID trilateration, not WAN IP data.
Issue 2: Displays a foreign country while you are local
Check if you have an active VPN, Apple iCloud Private Relay, Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 WARP, or browser proxy extension enabled.
VPN tunnels encapsulate client IP packets, presenting the exit gateway IP address hosted in a remote commercial datacenter.
Did You Know? Fascinating Facts About IP Addresses
The Kansas Farm mapped to 600 million IP addresses
MaxMind previously assigned the geographic center of the US to unlocalized IPs, pointing 600 million addresses directly at a quiet Kansas family farm.
An Anycast IP exists in 300 cities simultaneously
Public resolvers like 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 are announced simultaneously by hundreds of edge datacenters globally, routing packets to the lowest latency hop.
IPv4 contains 4.29 billion total theoretical addresses
Designed in 1981 under RFC 791. Today IPv6 provides 340 undecillion addresses—enough to assign billions of IPs to every grain of sand on Earth.
The 127.0.0.0/8 block is reserved for loopback localhost
Any address starting with 127.x.x.x never hits physical network cables: the local OS TCP/IP stack short-circuits packets back into host RAM.
