IP Geolocation — Identify IP Address Location

IP geolocation accuracy can vary significantly between IP address location providers. IPQS uses direct location data from GPS signals within apps and websites to provide pinpoint accuracy for determining the location of an IP address. Certain IP addresses like data centers or hosting providers, which act as VPNs, may mask the user's true location through tunneling services. Our IP location data is updated at least once per day to provide precise geolocation data for making intelligent real-time decisions on your website or app through IP location lookups.

How does an IP Lookup Work?

Simply enter in the IP address above to lookup IP information details. IPQS maintains signals and IP details for over 4 billion IPv4 addresses and hundreds of billions of IPv6 addresses globally. Our unique IP data sets are updated at least once per day across each IP address, to retrieve fresh abuse reports that correlate to bad bots, content scraping, fake account creation, credential stuffing, and other types of abuse. Using our free IP checker, you can access the latest IP risk scores in addition to the most recent location signals to help geolocate the user behind an IP address.

Determine IP Address Connection Type

The IP address connection type is an important factor in analyzing IP address reputation, as some connection types can carry a higher risk associated with user behavior. Improve your company's defense against account origination fraud and malicious bot detection to easily mitigate or block suspicious activity.

"Connection Type" values include:

  • Mobile Connection — Identifies cellular connections from wireless and mobile service providers like AT&T Wireless, T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon, Orange, Vodafone, etc.
  • Residential Connection — Identifies more static connections from change less frequently for home internet service providers like Comcast Cable, Cox Communications, Spectrum, AT&T, Verizon Fios, etc.
  • University/EDU Connections — Accurately recognize IP addresses from EDU campus locations including K12 and college or university campuses.
  • Data Center Connections — Tags higher risk IP addresses that originate from networks on data centers or hosting providers. These IPs are frequently associated with higher risk behavior and location spoofing.
  • Corporate Internet — Detect corporate VPNs, company egress IPs, and similar services like SASE solutions.

What Can an IP Address Lookup Reveal?

An IP details lookup can provide important details about the location of the user, helping companies restrict access to services for geo compliance. The connection type of an IP address is also helpful to better understand if the user is on a mobile connection, home internet service, school/university internet, corporate VPN, or a less desirable connection like a data center or hosting provider. This last group of connections are frequently associated with abusive VPNs or malicious IP addresses.

What Is An IP Address?

An IP address, also known as "Internet Protocol", is a unique address that identifies a device on a network. This allows internet connectivity to flow between a user's device and larger networks that connect devices all over the world. An IP address is a virtual identifier that allows a device to communicate with websites and other applications online. Understanding details associated with an IP address lookup can provide better insight into user and payment quality originating from a connection online. IP lookup details can provide the location of the user, along with risk signals that identify if the user is a bot or malicious user.
