IP lookup tool
Your public IP and location lookup
The page queries our GeoIP API once on load and shows the public IP, country / region, ISP and proxy detection result for this connection. Results are rendered in the browser only — never saved to your account or linked to an order.

Data comes from our own GeoIP API and is used only for this page view; if it cannot be retrieved the field shows “Temporarily unavailable”, with no third-party fallback.
What this information tells you
The results describe how this connection looks on the network right now — not an account attribute and not a history log. Switch routes or networks and all four fields change with it, which is what makes it useful for before-and-after comparisons.
Public IP
The public IP is the address your requests leave the network from, and it is what target sites see. Check once before connecting to a subscription route and once after: if the two results differ, your traffic really is going through the selected route; if they are identical, the current connection is not using the route and you should go back to the client and check connection status and routing rules.
Country / region and city
Location is resolved from an IP database, typically to country and city level, so it tells you roughly which region the public address sits in — never a street or building number. Databases are updated periodically, so a few newly allocated or frequently reassigned ranges may show as “Unknown”. That does not affect the connection itself; switch to another route in the same region and check again.
ISP / carrier
This field shows who holds the public address. On a subscription route it is usually a data-center name; if you see your local broadband provider instead, that also means traffic is still leaving through your local network. Reading the ISP together with the location makes it easier to tell which path you are on than looking at the IP alone.
Proxy detection
Some IP databases tag addresses as proxy, data center or risky, and streaming platforms and AI services consult that kind of data when deciding your region. A “detected” flag does not mean the connection is unusable — it only means the address is classed as a data center. If logins or playback are blocked, switch routes and check again; that usually tells you whether the problem is the address or the account.
When you need a different route, start with the route types per region in the route list, then come back to this page and test again; traffic allowances per plan are on the pricing page.
DNS leak self-check
Where your DNS lookups go
DNS lookups translate domain names into addresses. If a lookup skips the route and goes straight to your local network, the sites you visit and the region you appear to be in can disagree with your public IP — usually called a DNS leak. It will not drop the connection immediately, but it makes region detection unreliable.
How to check
- Connect to a route, refresh this page, and confirm the public IP matches the region you selected.
- Look at the DNS settings in your client and confirm lookups are handled on the route side rather than by your local network.
- If a site misjudges your region, switch to another route in the same region and test again to tell an address flag apart from a lookup-path problem.
Common causes
- The client hands DNS requests to the system's default resolver.
- Routing rules send some domains back to a direct connection, so their lookups go local again.
- A fixed DNS address is hard-coded on the router or at system level, overriding the client settings.
Setting DNS to resolve through the route and avoiding plaintext DNS fallback at system level is the usual way to reduce leaks. The switches have different names in each client; import and setup steps are in the setup guide.
Privacy note
Lookups are not saved to your account
Lookups on this page only render the result in your current browser: nothing is saved to your account, linked to an order or support ticket, or used for route scheduling. Refreshing the page runs a new lookup, and the result is gone once you close the page.
- Results render only in the current page
- No lookup history is kept
- The service runs under a no-logs privacy policy
- Only the fields needed for display are read
FAQ
About the results
Five questions on reading results, proxy flags and failed lookups; route and plan details live on their own pages.
Why is the region different from the city I picked?
Location is resolved from the registration data of the IP range, and one route's address pool can cover neighbouring cities or even a whole region, so city-level results are a rough guide only. To tell whether traffic really goes through the route, it is more reliable to watch whether country / region and ISP change with it.
Can the location be narrowed to a specific address?
No. IP location describes the registration and allocation of an address range, usually to country and city level. It contains no street or building number and cannot be used to locate an individual.
Does a “detected” proxy flag affect usage?
It does not directly affect connection speed or stability. Some streaming platforms and AI services consult such flags when deciding your region; if you hit a restriction, switch to another route in the same region and test again. The state of the account itself also affects the outcome, so keep the two separate.
Do I need to check again after switching routes?
Yes. The page only sends a request when it loads or when you click “Check again”, and the result matches the connection at that moment. Refresh the page after switching routes to see the new public IP and location.
What if it shows “Temporarily unavailable”?
It means this request got no response from the API. First confirm your current network can reach the internet, then click “Check again”; if it keeps failing, try again later or switch routes and retest. This page uses no third-party fallback, so it will not show a guessed result.
