From address to approximate location

IP geolocation is backed by large databases that map IP addresses to physical locations. Data is sourced primarily from RIR records (Regional Internet Registries — RIPE, ARIN, APNIC), then augmented with ISP BGP announcements and commercial feeds. ASN identifies the operator and countryCode marks which country the block was allocated to.

Accuracy is limited. Country-level hits are typically 95-98% accurate; city-level is 50-75%. Mobile carriers, VPN exits, corporate proxies and CGNAT blocks can distort results. Don\'t base critical security decisions on IP geolocation alone. For more background read our blog.

About IP lookups

Partially. Known VPN providers (NordVPN, ExpressVPN, ProtonVPN, etc.) operate from their own ASNs or hosting-datacenter IP blocks — this tool returns ASN data so you can spot a datacenter origin. Residential proxies and self-hosted VPNs on random VPS providers are much harder to detect.

Roughly 95-98% at country level, 80% at region level, 50-75% at city level. Coordinates typically point to the city centroid or the ISP's registered office — not the visitor's actual home. That's why results are marked as approximate.

Yes. Both full (2001:4860:4860::8888) and common compressed IPv6 forms are supported. IPv6 allocations are newer than IPv4, so city-level accuracy tends to be slightly lower — especially for mobile carrier blocks.

IP addresses are personal data under GDPR and Turkey's KVKK, but this tool only returns public block-level records (ISP, country, ASN) — no personal accounts, names or identities. Still, if you systematically log and process visitor IPs you must disclose it in your privacy policy.
