Best Use Cases

  • •Finding your public IP address for remote access configuration

  • •Verifying that a VPN is masking your real IP address
  • •Identifying the country and city associated with a suspicious IP

Examples

VPN check

Open the tool to see your current public IP. If your VPN is working, it should show the VPN server's location, not yours.

Enter a suspicious IP address from your server logs. See its country, city, ISP, and whether it belongs to a known provider.

Network debug

Check your public IP and ISP details to verify your internet connection is routing through the expected provider.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • !Assuming IP geolocation is precise to a street address when it is city-level at best
  • !Confusing your local network IP (192.168.x.x) with your public IP address
  • !Expecting the tool to identify individual users from an IP address

Limitations

  • –Geolocation accuracy varies and is typically only accurate to city level
  • –VPN and proxy users will see the server's location, not their own
  • –IP data is sent to an external API (ipapi.co) for lookup

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a public IP address?

Your public IP is the address assigned to your network by your ISP. It's visible to websites and services you connect to, and identifies your approximate location.

Is my IP address private?

Your IP address is not secret - every website you visit can see it. However, it only reveals your approximate location (usually city level), not your exact address.

How do I hide my IP address?

You can use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to mask your real IP address with one from a different location.
