About this tool

IP geolocation is used for debugging CDN routing issues, verifying VPN connection locations, investigating server logs, and understanding where website traffic originates. The results are approximate - typically accurate to city level - but sufficient for most practical purposes.

Enter any IP address to see its approximate country, region, city, ISP, and coordinates - or leave it blank to see your own current public IP automatically. This tool runs entirely in your browser: it calls api.ipify.org to detect your own IP, and ipapi.co for the geolocation data - your browser talks to these two third-party services directly, and CoditTools' own servers never see or store your IP or lookup queries.

How to Use IP Address Lookup

Auto Detect

Your IP address is detected automatically when you open the tool.

View Location

See your approximate country, region, city, and ISP.

Lookup Any IP

Enter any IP address to look up its details.

Runs Directly in Your Browser

No CoditTools server is involved - lookups go straight from your browser to ipify.org and ipapi.co.

Common Workflows

Open the Tool for Your Own IP

Your public IP is looked up automatically - the tool calls api.ipify.org, then ipapi.co, to get your IP and its geolocation.

Or Enter Any IP to Look Up

Type an IPv4 or IPv6 address and click Lookup - it's sent directly from your browser to ipapi.co.

Read the Available Fields

Only fields ipapi.co actually returns for that IP are shown - country, region, city, postal code, timezone, ISP/org, and coordinates, whichever apply.

Note There's No Copy Button

You'll need to select and copy the text manually - there's no built-in copy feature.

Best For

  • Looks up any IP address (IPv4 or IPv6, passed through as typed) using ipapi.co, showing country, region, city, postal code, timezone, ISP/organization, and coordinates - whichever fields are available for that IP.
  • Automatically detects and displays your own public IP on load, using api.ipify.org first to find your IP, then ipapi.co to geolocate it.
  • Runs entirely in your browser with no CoditTools server involved - but your IP and lookup queries are sent directly to ipify.org and ipapi.co, two third-party services, and are subject to their own privacy policies.

Examples

Auto-detect makes two requests, not one

Input

Opening the tool, or clicking "Lookup My IP"

Result

First: a request to api.ipify.org (returns just your IP). Then: a request to ipapi.co/{your IP}/json/ (returns the geolocation fields).

Two separate third-party services are involved in the auto-detect flow - one to find your IP, one to locate it.

Only fields ipapi.co returns are displayed

Input

Looking up an IP with limited data available

Result

Only the non-empty fields appear as result cards - Country, ISP, and coordinates might show while City or Postal Code are simply omitted

The result cards are filtered to only show fields with a value - there's no placeholder or "unavailable" message for missing fields.

No copy button exists

Input

Any completed lookup

Result

The IP address and every field are displayed as plain text, with no copy icon anywhere

To save a result, you'd need to manually select and copy the text yourself.

Use Cases

Checking your own IP after connecting to a VPN

Open the tool - it auto-detects and geolocates whatever public IP your browser currently has.

Looking up an IP found in a server log

Paste the IP into the lookup field to see its approximate location and ISP.

Understanding why a lookup shows the wrong location

Geolocation databases are approximate by nature - see the FAQ on accuracy for why results can be off by 50-200km.

Common Mistakes

Problem

Assuming CoditTools sees or logs your IP

Solution

It doesn't - the lookups happen directly between your browser and ipify.org/ipapi.co. But those two third-party services do receive your IP and query, by necessity.

Problem

Expecting a copy button

Solution

There isn't one - select and copy the text manually if you need to save a result.

Problem

Expecting VPN, proxy, or Tor detection

Solution

This tool doesn't flag whether an IP belongs to a VPN, proxy, hosting provider, or Tor exit node - it only returns geolocation and ISP fields.

Problem

Expecting an ASN, abuse score, or risk score field

Solution

None of these are shown - only country, region, city, postal code, timezone, ISP/org, and coordinates.

Tips & Best Practices

Leave the field blank to check your own IP

Click "Lookup My IP" or just open the tool - no need to look up your own IP manually.

Treat results as city-level, not street-level

IP geolocation is approximate everywhere - use it for rough location context, not precise tracking.

Remember your IP is visible to ipify.org and ipapi.co

Since the lookups run directly from your browser, those two services receive your IP and query directly - not just CoditTools.

Copy results manually

Select the text you need - there's no copy button built in.

Limitations

No VPN, proxy, Tor, or hosting detection

Only geolocation and ISP/org fields are returned - there's no security or anonymizer-detection data.

No ASN, abuse score, or risk score

These fields aren't part of the tool's output.

No map display

Coordinates are shown as plain latitude/longitude numbers - there's no visual map.

No copy button, history, or saved lookups

Each lookup is independent and shown as plain text only - nothing is remembered between visits.

No CoditTools-side caching, rate limiting, or retry logic

Every lookup is a fresh request to the third-party services - if ipapi.co or ipify.org is slow, rate-limited, or down, the lookup will fail with no automatic retry.

Runs through third-party services, not CoditTools' own servers

Your browser sends your IP and lookup queries directly to ipify.org and ipapi.co - CoditTools itself is not in the request path and cannot see or log this traffic, but those two services can.

Comparisons

This Tool vs. a Security-Focused IP Lookup

Both return geolocation, but only one flags VPNs, proxies, and abuse risk.

FAQs

The most common question is about accuracy. IP geolocation is approximate - typically within 50–100km of the actual location. Exact street-level location requires a court order to the ISP. VPN and proxy IPs show the VPN server location, not the user's actual location.

Which service provides the geolocation data, and does CoditTools see my IP?

This tool calls two third-party services directly from your browser: api.ipify.org (to detect your own public IP, when you don't enter one) and ipapi.co (for the actual geolocation lookup). CoditTools' own servers are never part of the request - they don't see, log, or store your IP or your lookup queries. Your browser does send this information directly to ipify.org and ipapi.co, though, so it's visible to those two services.

What is my public IP address?

Your public IP address is the address assigned to you by your internet service provider (ISP) - the address that websites and servers see when you connect. It is different from your local (private) IP address (usually 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), which is used within your home or office network. Open this tool to see your current public IP automatically.

Can I find someone's exact location from their IP address?

No - IP geolocation can only narrow location down to a city or metropolitan area, typically within 50–200km of the actual location. The exact physical address is known only to the internet service provider. Law enforcement can request this information from the ISP via a court order, but it is not publicly available through any IP lookup database.

What is the difference between a public and private IP address?

A private IP address is used within your local network and is not visible on the internet. Private IP ranges: 192.168.0.0–192.168.255.255, 10.0.0.0–10.255.255.255, 172.16.0.0–172.31.255.255. Your public IP is what websites see - assigned by your ISP and unique to your internet connection. All devices on your home network share one public IP but have different private IPs.

Why does my IP address show the wrong city?

IP geolocation databases are maintained by mapping IP address ranges to approximate locations based on ISP registration data and traffic analysis. They are not precise - accuracy is typically within 50–200km for city-level lookups. Factors that affect accuracy: ISP routing decisions, VPN or proxy use, recently reassigned IP blocks, and mobile IPs that route through distant cell towers.

How do I hide my IP address?

The most reliable method is a VPN (Virtual Private Network) - it routes your traffic through a server in another location, so websites see the VPN's IP instead of yours. Tor Browser routes traffic through multiple nodes for stronger anonymity but is significantly slower. Proxy servers work similarly to VPNs but are less secure and easier to detect.
