What Details Can An IP Lookup Tool Reveal?
An IP lookup tool can access various databases that store information about nearly every Internet Protocol address. IP databases can acquire data from ISPs, various registrars, and through many other methods.
Once information about a public IP address is found, a lookup tool will return everything that’s stored within IP databases. Usually, the information will include the Internet Service Provider, the city, region, and country, latitude and longitude, and IP address type.
Our IP lookup tool can also get you information from various databases, each of which may show slightly different location information.
While location data is an approximation, IP geolocation is almost always accurate down to at least a city-level. With some additional tools, geolocation providers can ensure an even higher accuracy.
So, while IP lookup doesn’t divulge any highly sensitive information about an individual, it still provides identification capabilities. Location data is particularly interesting as it’s often used to provide or restrict access to specific types of content as is the case with streaming services.
How to Protect Your IP Address?
While IP lookup doesn’t reveal highly sensitive information, you might still want to hide your Internet Service Provider and other IP details. Doing so is a relatively simple process nowadays.
First, you can always use an anonymous browser like Tor. Their privacy system makes use of voluntary internet users that turn their machines into nodes. Your traffic is encrypted, hidden, and routed through several nodes at once, making IP lookup useless. Tor browser, however, relies on volunteer networking devices, so it’ll likely slow you down significantly.
Another option is to use a VPN. A good VPN will also circumvent any IP location finder as all of your traffic will be routed through a remote server. Only someone within your local network would be able to run an IP lookup tool – but in that case they already know your location information. Additionally, many VPNs will implement additional features to protect you from cyber threats, any Internet Service Provider snooping, and many other issues.
Finally, proxies are an equally good option. Just like VPNs, they’ll use a remote machine to change your IP. You can, however, much more easily route single application traffic through the proxy, which will still make IP location lookup largely useless as long as you don’t intentionally turn off the proxy. Additionally, proxies are easier to implement into tools and are less often detected as proxies through geo IP databases.

While an IP location finder can extract a lot of interesting information, capabilities are still limited. Most of the information will be closely related to the device such as its IP geolocation, but not tied to the user directly. Additionally, an IP location finder can show irregular information if dealing with dynamic addresses. Here’s what you can get with our IP address lookup tool:
Our IP address lookup tool is also useful to monitor various IPs. You can use it to find the ISP of any user that’s performing malicious actions on your network. Additionally, if you discover login attempts to any account from unknown IP addresses, you can verify if they belong to you or someone else and then take the necessary precautions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an IP address?
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a sequence of numbers (IPv4) or sequence of numbers and letters (IPv6) that are assigned to any device connecting to the internet. These details are then used to communicate between computers.
Who owns an IP address?
Most IP addresses belong to an Internet Service Provider. Any ISP will have some amount of IPs they can “give out” to users who want to access the internet.
How can I check if my IP is residential?
Using an IP address lookup tool will reveal if your IP address is residential. Most tools will list a type, which can be “residential”, “commercial”, and of several other types. Additionally, if your IP is directly linked to an ISP and not a cloud service provider, even without knowing the type, it’s almost guaranteed that your IP address is residential.
How to get someone’s IP address?
Any time you establish a connection to another computer, you can get their IP address. All connection requests must send an IP address to communicate with another computer, so you can uncover the IPs you’re connected to through various tools like WireShark.
Is it against the law to look up someone’s IP address?
No, IP lookup is a widely used tool for various legitimate reasons. Additionally, IP address lookup reveals no sensitive information about a user, so there’s no need to worry about the legality of the process. Remember that IP address locations are approximated, so even those details aren’t exact.
What’s the difference between IP lookup, IP checker, and IP locator?
All of these tools are the same. While capabilities may differ from one tool to another, all of them use the same process to uncover various information about the IP (such as the predicted physical location of the device).
How to find a device by IP address?
You can only find a device that’s connected to your network. If you have the IP address, you may use the “nslookup [device_ip_address]” command through the Terminal to display some additional information related to the device. Alternatively, you can use an advanced network scanner to get even more information about the device.
What is reverse IP lookup?
Reverse IP lookup is a tool that finds all domains that are registered to an IP address. There’s various niche use cases for the tool – from finding all websites that are hosted on a server to finding out what websites are hosted on a potentially malicious IP.
Is this IP checker tool free?
Yes, you’re free to use our IP address lookup tool as much as you need. No charges will be incurred.
