About Ipzy

A free and transparent tool to understand your IP address and your presence on the Internet.

What is Ipzy?

Ipzy.org is a free IP address lookup service. Our mission is to provide a simple, fast and educational tool to help users understand how they are identified on the Internet.

Whether you're curious about your public IP address, want to check your approximate geolocation, or want to better understand online identification mechanisms, Ipzy provides this information instantly.

Our mission

Transparency about network data should be accessible to everyone. Many users are unaware that they are tracked and geolocated via their IP address. Our goal is threefold:

Education
Simply explain how the Internet works and the role of IP addresses.
Protection
Raise awareness about privacy risks and ways to protect yourself.
Accessibility
Offer a free, registration-free tool accessible to everyone, everywhere.
Reliability
Use multiple data sources to guarantee service availability.

Our commitment: no data collection

Unlike many online services, Ipzy does not store any personal data. We do not keep your IP address, do not create user profiles and do not use tracking cookies.

The only data processed is transmitted in real time to third-party APIs to retrieve geolocation information. These APIs act independently according to their own privacy policies.

For more details, see our privacy policy.

Editorial method

Ipzy guides are written to explain networking concepts in a practical way, without promising more than an IP address can actually reveal. Each article separates technical facts, interpretation limits and cases where information depends on a third-party provider or local configuration.

We focus on topics directly related to the tool: public IP, private IP, ASN, DNS, IPv4, IPv6, CGNAT, approximate geolocation, DNS leaks, IPv6 leaks, latency and network privacy. When a topic evolves, we update the relevant page instead of creating many very similar pages.

The content is not produced to fill keywords. It is organised to answer an identifiable user question, with examples, limitations and internal links to complementary guides. Corrections can be reported from the contact page.

Tech stack

Ipzy.org is designed to be lightweight, fast and respectful of the digital environment. Here are the technologies used:

No heavy framework, no build process, no backend. The entire site fits in a few static HTML files.

IP data sources

To ensure the service is always available, we query several APIs in cascade:

Primary source
Enriched data with ASN and organisation
Secondary source
Reliable with good global coverage
