What is an IP Address and GeoIP Location?
An **IP (Internet Protocol) Address** is a unique numerical label assigned to every device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. Your public IP address is assigned by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and acts as your digital shipping address, allowing websites to route data packets correctly back to your browser client.
**GeoIP Geolocation** is the process of mapping this numerical IP address to a physical location (such as country, city, timezone, and coordinates) using commercial routing database tables. While this coordinates map represents the location of your ISP's node/exchange, it provides a highly accurate estimate of your regional parameters. This page queries secure, CORS-enabled HTTPS lookup endpoints to present network parameters without saving query history.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
**IPv4** uses 32-bit addresses formatted as four dot-separated numbers (e.g. `192.168.1.1`), yielding ~4.3 billion combinations. Due to IP address exhaustion, **IPv6** was developed. It uses 128-bit hexadecimal strings separated by colons, providing an almost infinite number of combinations for modern network devices.
How accurate is IP address geolocation?
IP geolocation is highly accurate (95-99%) at country level, moderately accurate (80-90%) at city and region level, and cannot resolve exact street addresses or house numbers. The coordinates shown represent your ISP's regional routing hub rather than your device's exact physical GPS location.
Why does my location change when using a VPN?
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) encrypts your data connection and routes it through a remote server. Websites see the public IP address and regional location of the VPN server instead of your physical ISP hub, effectively masking your real country, coordinates, and network provider.
