How IP Geolocation Works
IP geolocation maps an IP address to a physical location using databases maintained by Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) such as ARIN, RIPE NCC, APNIC, LACNIC, and AFRINIC. These registries allocate IP address blocks to ISPs and organizations and record the associated country and network details. Our tool queries the IP2Location database, which cross-references BGP routing tables, ISP registration records, and additional data sources to deliver city-level accuracy for most IP addresses.
What Each Result Field Means
- ASN (Autonomous System Number): A globally unique number assigned to a collection of IP networks under a single administrative policy. ISPs, cloud providers, and large enterprises each have one or more ASNs. For example, AS15169 belongs to Google.
- ISP: The Internet Service Provider that owns the IP block — could be a broadband carrier, mobile network, data center operator, or enterprise network.
- Time Zone: The UTC offset for the geographic region where the IP block is registered. Useful for scheduling and fraud detection.
- Proxy / VPN: Whether this IP is a known exit node for a VPN, proxy service, or Tor relay. Sites use this to detect anonymized traffic.
- Latitude & Longitude: Approximate geographic center of the IP's registered location. This is often the city center, not the user's precise address.
Accuracy and Limitations
IP geolocation is typically 99%+ accurate at the country level and 60–80% accurate at the city level. Accuracy decreases for mobile IPs (which route through carrier gateways), satellite connections, and VPN/proxy users. The location reflects where the network infrastructure is registered, not necessarily where the physical user is sitting. Corporate networks may show their headquarters city even if the user is in a branch office across the country.
Common Use Cases
- Fraud detection: verifying whether a login originates from an expected country
- Content localization: serving region-specific pricing, language, or legal notices
- Network diagnostics: tracing where traffic is entering or exiting
- Security research: attributing attack traffic to a network or organization
- VPN verification: confirming your VPN is successfully masking your real location
