Look up location, ISP, ASN, timezone, and proxy detection for any IP address.
Enter an IP address
IP geolocation maps an IP address to a physical location using databases built from routing data, ISP registrations, and regional internet registry records. This tool reads MaxMind GeoLite2 on VLANlab's server: the City database gives the country, region, city and timezone, and the ASN database gives the network and the organisation that runs it. Accuracy varies - country-level is usually reliable, city-level can be off by tens to hundreds of kilometres.
Proxy / VPN: shown when the IP is a Tor exit node, from the Tor Project's exit list. VPN services are not detected yet, so an address without this tag may still be a VPN.
Datacenter / Hosting: the IP is in a cloud provider's published address ranges (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Cloudflare and others) or belongs to a known hosting network. Traffic from these IPs is typically servers, bots, or CI pipelines rather than end users. When VLANlab's data cannot tell, no tag is shown. The Tor list and the cloud ranges cover IPv4 addresses only.
Mobile network: not detected yet, so this tag is not shown.
An Autonomous System Number (ASN) identifies a network block managed by a single organisation and advertised to the rest of the internet via BGP. Every IP on the public internet belongs to exactly one ASN. Use the ASN / BGP Lookup tool to explore the full set of prefixes announced by any AS.
Geolocation databases can be wrong when an ISP has not updated its regional allocation records, when traffic routes through a distant anycast node, or when a VPN exit point is in a different country than the user. Corporate networks often report their headquarters city regardless of where the connecting employee actually is. Always treat city-level data as approximate.
