IP Address Check

What You See

When you visit our homepage, you'll see your public IPv4 and IPv6 addresses automatically displayed at the top of the page. Below that, you'll find your geolocation information, including:

  • City, Region, and Country
  • Geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude)
  • Timezone
  • ISP or Organization
  • An interactive map showing your approximate location

How It Works

Our system automatically detects your public IP address when you connect to our website. We then use the ipinfo.io API to gather geographical information about your IP address. This information is displayed in real-time and is not stored on our servers.

Why Your IP Details Might Be Inaccurate

  1. You're using a VPN or proxy service that masks your real location
  2. Your ISP's IP registration information may be outdated
  3. You're accessing the internet through a corporate network that uses centralized IP addresses
  4. Geolocation databases are inherently imprecise at the city level

IP Address Lookup

How to Use

  1. Find the "IP Address Lookup" section on the homepage
  2. Enter any IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) or domain name in the input field
  3. Click the "Lookup" button
  4. View the results showing geolocation information for that IP

What You Can Look Up

  • IP Addresses: Both IPv4 (e.g., 8.8.8.8) and IPv6 (e.g., 2001:4860:4860::8888)
  • Domain Names: Enter any website domain (e.g., google.com) and we'll look up its IP address information

Limitations

Our IP lookup tool has some limitations:

  • Private IP addresses (10.x.x.x, 192.168.x.x, etc.) will not return useful geolocation information as they are for internal networks only
  • Some IP addresses may have limited or no geolocation data available
  • Accuracy is generally good at the country level but may decrease at the city level

DNS Lookup

How to Use

  1. Find the "DNS Lookup" section on the homepage
  2. Enter a domain name (e.g., example.com) in the first field
  3. Select a record type from the dropdown menu or choose "All Records"
  4. Click the "Lookup DNS" button
  5. View the results showing all DNS records for that domain of the selected type

Available Record Types

  • A: Points a domain to an IPv4 address
  • AAAA: Points a domain to an IPv6 address
  • CNAME: Points a domain to another domain name (alias)
  • MX: Specifies mail servers for the domain
  • TXT: Contains text information (often used for verification)
  • NS: Specifies the authoritative nameservers for the domain
  • SOA: Start of Authority record containing domain administration info
  • ALL: Returns all available record types

Understanding Results

Each DNS record result will show:

  • Record Type: The type of DNS record (A, AAAA, MX, etc.)
  • Value: The value associated with the record (IP address, hostname, text, etc.)
  • TTL (Time to Live): How long the record can be cached before it should be refreshed

Domain Age Check

How to Use

  1. Find the "Domain Age Check" section on the homepage
  2. Enter a domain name (e.g., example.com) in the input field
  3. Click the "Check Age" button
  4. View the results showing when the domain was created and how old it is

Information Provided

  • Creation Date: When the domain was first registered
  • Domain Age: How long the domain has existed (years, months, days)
  • Registrar: The company through which the domain was registered

Limitations

The domain age tool may have some limitations:

  • Some domains may have privacy protection enabled, limiting the information available
  • Certain country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs) may not provide complete registration information
  • Very new domains might not yet be in all WHOIS databases

AI Assistant

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

IPv6 Address Not Showing

Possible causes:

  • Your internet connection does not support IPv6
  • Your ISP has not assigned you an IPv6 address
  • Your router or device has IPv6 disabled

Solution: Check with your ISP if they provide IPv6 connectivity. If they do, make sure IPv6 is enabled on your router and device.

Incorrect Geolocation

Possible causes:

  • You're using a VPN or proxy service
  • Your ISP's IP allocation is registered to a different location
  • Geolocation database inaccuracy

Solution: If you're using a VPN, disable it to see your actual IP location. Otherwise, geolocation based on IP address is approximate and may sometimes be inaccurate at the city level.

DNS Lookup Shows No Results

Possible causes:

  • The domain does not exist
  • The domain does not have the specific record type you're looking for
  • DNS propagation delay for newly created or modified records

Solution: Verify the domain name is spelled correctly. Try selecting "All Records" to see if other record types exist. For new domains or recent DNS changes, wait 24-48 hours for propagation.

Domain Age Check Fails

Possible causes:

  • The domain has WHOIS privacy protection enabled
  • The domain's TLD doesn't provide comprehensive WHOIS data
  • Temporary WHOIS server issues

Solution: Try checking the domain again later. Some domains, especially those with privacy protection or certain country-code TLDs, may not provide complete registration information.

Page Loading Slowly

Possible causes:

  • Slow internet connection
  • Temporary API service delays
  • Browser cache issues

Solution: Try refreshing the page or clearing your browser cache. If problems persist, check your internet connection speed or try again later.
