IP NETWORK DATA
Find country, continent, ASN and network information.
Public country, continent, and ASN data is retrieved from IPinfo Lite. Private and reserved addresses are rejected.
Country and network ownership are useful routing clues, but IP geolocation is approximate and should not be treated as a precise address.
No. IP geolocation is accurate at the country level and only approximate at the city level. It points at the network your connection exits through, which can be far from where you physically are, especially on mobile networks or behind a VPN.
An autonomous system number: a globally unique ID for a network under one administrative control, like AS13335 for Cloudflare. When you look up an IP, the ASN tells you exactly which network operates the address.
Addresses in 10.x, 172.16–31.x and 192.168.x are private and never routed on the public internet, so no global data exists for them. They only have meaning inside the local network that uses them.
Look up its ASN and network organization, which name the operator, or run whois for the full registration record. That identifies the responsible network, though not the individual using a specific address at a given moment.
Yes. IP routing and registration data is public by design, and querying it is how the internet's operators diagnose problems. What you cannot get from a lookup is private information about a person; the data describes a network, not an individual.
Who owns an IP address? Look up any public IP to find the country, ASN and network owner — and learn why the location is approximate.
