What is an IP Address?

An IP address (Internet Protocol Address) is a unique identifier assigned to network devices for internet communication. Every device connected to the internet has an IP address, similar to a postal address. IP addresses come in two formats: IPv4 (e.g. 192.168.1.1) and IPv6 (e.g. 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334).

What can IP lookup tell you?

Through IP address lookup, you can get the following information:

• Geographic location (country, region, city)
• Network info (ISP, ASN)
• Timezone of the IP location
• Approximate geographic coordinates
