IP address and domain lookup
How to read the result
For an IP address we show the country, the approximate city, the ISP, the ASN, the reverse DNS name and whether it belongs to a Syrian network. For a domain name we ask DNS for its A and AAAA records, that is its IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, and show up to eight of them.
The ASN identifies the network that announces the address on the internet, so it points to the actual owner more precisely than the ISP name. See What is an ASN? The location is an estimate from a database, so it may differ slightly from one tool to another.
Private addresses, such as 10.0.0.1, 192.168.1.1 and CGNAT addresses in 100.64.0.0/10, are not used on the public internet, so we show only their type, without a location.
Why does a domain return more than one address?
Large websites spread their service across several servers to share the load, and many run on content delivery networks that pick the server closest to you. A domain can also have both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
Do you connect to the address I look up?
No. We only query DNS and read the location database. We send no request to the address itself.
Why does the location differ from where the server really is?
Content delivery networks use the same address in several countries, and the database records a single place for it. So the location tells you more about the network than about where the server that answered you is.
