IP lookup: what is my IP address?

When this page opens it shows your public IP address and the country Cloudflare places it in. Enter any other IP address to see which network owns it, its country and its abuse contact.

IP lookup

What does the IP lookup check?

Your own address comes from your connection to this site, as Cloudflare passes it on. For any other address the tool asks RDAP through rdap.org, which forwards the question to the regional internet registry for that address, such as APNIC for Asia and the Pacific, RIPE NCC for Europe and ARIN for North America.

When we looked up 1.1.1.1, the registry listed APNIC Research and Development as the owner, not Cloudflare, which runs its public resolver on that address. The owner in the registry is not always the company that uses an address.

How do I read the result?

  • Network name and Owner: who the registry lists for the block of addresses.
  • Country: the country in the registry record. It is not always where the server or person is.
  • Range: the first and last address of the block.
  • Abuse contact: where to report spam or attacks that come from this address.

Questions and answers

Why is the country wrong for my address?

Your country comes from Cloudflare’s data, and other addresses use the registry’s country. Mobile networks and VPNs often register addresses in one place and use them somewhere else.

Is my IP address private information?

Every site you visit sees it. It points to your internet provider, not to your home address.

Why can’t I look up 192.168.1.1?

Addresses like 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x and 127.0.0.1 are private. They are used inside home and office networks and have no public owner.

Does it work with IPv6?

Yes. Enter an IPv6 address such as 2606:4700:4700::1111.
