IP Location Lookup
See the location your IP address reveals — and how rough that guess really is.
Where this comes from
Every request carries your IP address, and Cloudflare annotates it at the edge with the location registered for that address in its IP database. The page reads those annotations and shows them back to you. No location permission is requested and your device is never asked where it is — everything here comes from the address your connection presents.
What the results mean
- City
- The city the IP block is registered to. For fixed-line broadband this is usually close. For mobile it is often the operator’s gateway, which can be in another region entirely.
- Postal code
- The ISP’s registered area, not your address. Treat it as a rough indicator and nothing more.
- Coordinates
- A city centroid from the IP database. If several people in your city check this page, they all see the same point.
- Network operator
- The organisation that owns the address range — your ISP, your employer, or your VPN provider if one is connected.
Common problems and fixes
- The location is completely wrong
- Most often mobile data, a VPN, or a recently reassigned address block. The operator name is the clue: if it is not your ISP, that explains the location.
- It shows my city but I want it to show less
- A VPN replaces all of this with the exit server’s details. Nothing else in your browser settings changes what your IP reveals, because it is revealed by connecting at all.
Frequently asked questions
How accurate is IP geolocation?
Country is nearly always right. City is right often enough to be useful and wrong often enough that it should never be relied on — the database maps address ranges to registered locations, and ISPs assign those ranges by convenience rather than geography.
Can a website find my exact address from my IP?
No. What you see here is the limit of what an IP reveals. Street-level precision requires the browser Geolocation API, which needs your explicit permission and uses GPS or nearby Wi-Fi networks.
Do you store this?
No. It is read at the edge, returned to you, and marked no-store so it is never cached. There is no database behind this page.
