IP address lookup
See who operates an IP address, roughly where it is, and whether it is a VPN, Tor, relay or data-centre address.
- Network, operator, country and city
- VPN, Tor, relay, cloud and hosting flags
- IPv4 and IPv6
Give it something to look up — Glee will do the digging.
How the ip lookup works
Every request to your website or API arrives from an IP address, and that address carries more context than it seems: which network routes it, which country it is used in, and whether it belongs to a home or office connection or to a data centre, a VPN or an anonymity network. Fraud checks, sign-up screening, analytics and access rules all start here.
This lookup reads the address from our compiled database: the network block and its autonomous system (AS) number and operator, the country the block is registered in and the place it is used (they often differ), the city and time zone where known, and classification flags. A "cloud" flag means the range belongs to a cloud provider's own address space.
Where a flag is absent we did not say no — we have no information. A false flag ("not a VPN") is only shown where a list positively covers the range.
What each field means
- Country (in use) / (registered)
- Where the address is used, and where its block was allocated — often different for global networks.
- Hosting / Cloud
- A server network rather than a person's connection.
- VPN / Tor / Privacy relay
- The real visitor is elsewhere, by design.
Where this check stops
- Location is approximate: city-level at best, and wrong for some mobile and satellite networks.
- The network operator is not necessarily the company running a website or service on the address.

Frequently asked
Can I find a person from an IP?
No, and this tool does not try. An address identifies a network, not a person.
Why does the registered country differ from the location?
Large networks hold address blocks assigned to one country and use them worldwide. We show both rather than picking one.
