What is an IP Address?

Your IP address is essentially a temporary “return address” for your connection—not your street address or identity. On its own it can’t pinpoint you, and the real risks are manageable with basic security hygiene. Better yet, privacy-friendly IP geolocation actually improves everyday experiences like security checks and localised content.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is IP geolocation?

IP geolocation accuracy varies, often providing precise city-level estimates for static IPs, while dynamic or mobile IPs may be less accurate, ranging from kilometres to regional estimates. Factors like network infrastructure and data quality impact results. For more details, read our full blog post: How Accurate Can IP Geolocation Get?

Why does my IP location seem incorrect?

Your IP location might appear different from your actual location due to VPN usage, proxy servers, mobile networks, or your ISP's routing configuration. This is normal and doesn't necessarily indicate a security issue.

Tip: If your IP location seems incorrect, you can help improve our accuracy by sharing your actual location above. Our system will take your location into consideration and adjust the geolocation data if required, typically within 24 hours.

Is my IP address private information?

The IP address provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) is typically temporary and visible to the websites you visit. It can reveal your general location and the identity of your ISP. However, on its own, an IP address isn't considered private information unless it's paired with other identifiable data. For example, on platforms where you log in, your IP address could be treated as part of your personal information.

While your ISP can track the websites you access, they cannot view sensitive data such as your passwords or credit card details.

Using a VPN or proxy can hide your browsing activity from your ISP, but this shifts the responsibility to the VPN provider, which now has visibility over your online behaviour. Therefore, it's crucial to choose a VPN or proxy service you trust more than your ISP.

How often does my IP address change?

This depends on your ISP and connection type. Residential connections may change IPs periodically, while business connections often have static IPs. Mobile networks frequently change IPs as you move.

Lookup an IP Address

Enter any IPv4 or IPv6 address for detailed lookup, e.g., 66.102.15.255. You can also check your own IP address.
