IP Address Geolocation
IP geolocation maps an IP address to a physical location based on regional internet registry allocations and ISP routing data. It is approximate — accuracy ranges from country level (very reliable) to city level (moderately accurate, ±50km typical).
Information Available from an IP
- Country & region — usually accurate
- City — accurate within 50–100km for most IPs
- ISP / organization — the company that owns the address block
- ASN — Autonomous System Number identifying the network operator
- IP type — residential, data center, VPN, Tor exit node
- Timezone — inferred from the geographic location
IPv4 vs IPv6
- IPv4: 32-bit addresses like
192.168.1.1— ~4.3 billion total - IPv6: 128-bit addresses like
2001:db8::1— effectively unlimited - IPv4 address space is exhausted; ISPs increasingly dual-stack or use CGNAT
How accurate is IP geolocation?
Country-level accuracy is typically above 95%. City-level accuracy varies by region — major metropolitan areas can be accurate to a few kilometers, while rural IPs or mobile connections may show a location 100+ km away. VPN and proxy users will show the VPN server's location, not their actual location.
What is an ASN (Autonomous System Number)?
An ASN is a unique identifier for a network that exchanges routing information with other networks on the internet. Major ISPs, universities, cloud providers (AWS ASN 16509, Google ASN 15169), and CDNs each have one or more ASNs. Routing protocols like BGP use ASNs to manage internet traffic paths.
Can I find someone's exact address from their IP?
No — IP geolocation databases only show the registered location of the address block, which is typically the ISP's office or data center, not the individual user's address. Obtaining a user's precise location from an IP requires a court order served to the ISP.
